In Genesis, God commands Noah, one of the last righteous people remaining on Earth, to build a gigantic boat known as an ark. According to Genesis 7, Noah and his family are supposed to cram into the ark, along with a full complement of animals, to ride out a massive storm that will wipe out the rest of the wicked world. Noah dutifully does just that, survives the 40-day and 40-night flood, and eventually disembarks to start humanity over again. But Genesis doesn't mention what happens to the humongous, floating construction project that humanity has just left behind. So, what happened to Noah's Ark?

First, we should set aside questions as to how a flood could cover the Earth or how one man and his family could build a boat big enough to hold all the animals ever. It might have happened in some localized form but, as Live Science notes, no one's uncovered evidence of a global flood. Some people have claimed to have found evidence of the ark, though their findings have come under intense scrutiny.

National Geographic reports that quite a few investigators have said they've found the ark, including an announcement that wooden fragments discovered on Turkey's Mount Ararat were the real deal. Yet, direct evidence isn't forthcoming. What's more, some researchers suggest that the ark could have been dismantled, given that all that precious timber probably wouldn't have been left to rot in the elements when humanity needed shelter.
