The Durupinar site has been offered up as a possible remnant since it was discovered in 1948.

I’d be excited if I hadn’t read this same story in a different place about every six months for the last 30 years.
Pretty sure I saw it on “That’s Incredible” in the 1980s, too.
Well - in a typological sense, I guess.
The most valuable thing on that Ark was a breath of fresh air.
It looks like a sharp convex fold. An anticline. Either way, it looks like rock and not wood.
I would have shoveled the manure out of it into a huge compost pile, and then lived in this ark into which I invested so much labor. At least for a few years. Then again, my carriage house hasn’t housed horses for almost a century and has all new floors, yet it still has a bit of the old odor.

thousands of years ago. Wood would likely be long gone.
I spent some time going down the black hole of possible relics including remnants of the cross. As a Christian I was longing to see what remains. I quickly found out there no shortage of people claiming they have some relic from whenever.
One has to be quite skeptical about these things. I find the Bible to be enough for me.
It would have been difficult to dismantle, considering all of the ark welding.
I thought that maybe they’d just live in the Ark for a while.
If I had riden out a great flood like that, I’d stick close to my boat.
Sounds like the putative ark turned to stone
Seems like they keep moving the discovery.
The article revealed a date - May 1948 when it became exposed.
Interesting - May 1948 - On May 14, 1948, the British Mandate for Palestine ended, and the State of Israel was proclaimed by David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency.
The article declares: more than 4,300 years ago...
The only problem is, there is much disagreement over the date of Noah’s Flood.
Modern Tanakh (c. 1,000 AD to now, from the oldest one until now) employing the Masoretic text places the flood about 300 years before Abraham’s birth.
Much older scrolls written in Paleo Hebrew, be it from the Samaritan Pentateuch or the DSS, add on about 500 years more from the time of Noah’s flood to the time of Abraham’s birth.
Multiple Septuagint codices (dated from 250 AD to 600 AD) add on far more years.
That site has been discovered over and over and reported over and over. Logistically impossible.
Perhaps this will show that “global warming” is cyclical ...
I would suspect they lived on the boat for some time.
