American and Turkish explorers are hoping to discover traces of Noah's Ark on the slopes of Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey. A joint expedition of 10 explorers from both countries intends to trek up the 5,346m (17,820ft) mountain in July. They will spend a month searching for a large structure exposed in part by melting snow last summer. Recounted in the Bible, Noah and his ark are said to have alighted on Mount Ararat after the Great Flood. [via BBC]
Three religions, Christianity, Judaism and Islam believe in Noah and his ark. Hinduism too has a flood story
