High in the mountains of Turkey sits a mysterious geological formation that some researchers believe could be the remains of Noah's Ark.

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.
