As a former archaeologist, I am constantly surprised at what we find, intact, after close to 1000 years or more. Heck look at some of the mummified remains from Peru as an example. Or the infamous Ice Man (Otzi) from the Italy/Austria border in the Alps. He was from the Copper Age, which is roughly 5,300 years ago. And they could tell what he had for dinner. And he was in ice, at the top of a mountain.

The Ice Man had fallen into (or sought shelter in) a depression or crevice. He stayed in place, in a stable block of ice, over which a glacier flowed for thousands of years. An object the size of the biblical ark would almost certainly be in the flow region of a glacier, and would be badly broken up (at best).

Right but the poster I was replying to said the ark couldn't exist "in any form". My point was that parts of it certainly could still exist (if it existed at all).
