Fascinerande att de hittat Utnapishtims båt! För de vet väl att berättelsen kommer från Gilgamesheposet?
Där beskrivs den väl mera som en låda?
Noaks ark har "hittats" massor med gånger, här finns info

Exempelvis:
1st Century CE: Jewish historian Flavius Josephus (and later early Christian writers like Eusebius in the 4th century) recorded historical accounts claiming remaining pieces of the Ark still existed in Armenia/Mount Ararat.
1833: Turkish avalanche investigators claimed to spot the vessel while studying earthquake effects.
1853: Three Englishmen reported being shown the Ark by two local Armenian guides.
1883: An earthquake and subsequent avalanche reportedly revealed portions of a large wooden structure on Mount Ararat.
1887: John Joseph (Prince of Nouri) from India claimed to find the complete vessel on his third expedition.
1908: George Hagopian claimed his uncle took him up Mount Ararat as a boy, where he walked on the roof of a large buried ship.
1915–1917: Russian World War I aviators and later a group of Turkish soldiers independently claimed to spot a massive boat shape protruding from ice or high altitude fields.
1949: A U.S. intelligence aerial photograph of Mount Ararat captured the "Ararat Anomaly"—a dark shape jutting out from snow and ice, which remains a focal point for believers.
1955: French industrialist Fernand Navarra reported finding hand-tooled, dark wood buried deep in a glacial crevasse on Ararat.
1959: Captain İlhan Durupınar discovered a distinct 515-foot, boat-shaped geological formation during an aerial military mapping survey near Mount Ararat (now known as the Durupınar site).
Late 1970s–1990s: Explorer Ron Wyatt heavily publicized the Durupınar site, claiming to find petrified wood, anchor stones, and metal fittings, though mainstream scientists debunked his findings.
2021–2026: Modern scanning projects using ground-penetrating radar (by Turkish university teams and private researchers) at the Durupınar formation have claimed to find angular, subsurface, deck-like layer anomalies and organic chemical traces, reviving media attention. Geologists maintain these results reflect natural alternating sedimentary layers and soil dynamics rather than an ancient man-made ship
