It doesn't matter to me whether Noah's Ark is found or not. However, I am left wondering why photos of Mt.Ararat have been classified for so many years. Can anyone say, "information suppression"? Really, what is on Mt.Ararat that would be considered "classified"? The only answer that comes to my mind is that there are scientists and archeologists that do not want Noah's Ark found. I mean, how far would that set them and their theories back? We would see the world's best back pedalers in action.
Scientists who wish to suppress the truth to protect their theories don't deserve the title.
Because the paranoid government drones are afraid of inciting the paranoid tinfoil hat wearing Area 51 crowd...
One begets the other...
The most likely answer to come to my mind is that the level of detail in the photograph itself was what was classified- our technical ability.

Actually, they were afraid of revealing the 14 different Noah's Arks that have been found, for fear it would reveal the existence of the antediluvian mass-cloning program and the veritable naval fleet of arks which are scattered all over the place:

LOL! If that's the "only" possible reason that comes to your mind as to why aerial photographs, especially from intelligence agencies, might have been classified, then you're suffering from a severe lack of critical thinking. Hint: What about the dozen or more reasons that aerial photographs of areas *other* than Ararat are routinely classified?
I mean, how far would that set them and their theories back?
Ah yes, the nefarious "them"... And their "theories" Which Must Not Be Named...
Looks like it's time to buy more Alcoa stock...
Actually, neither "they" nor "their theories" would be "set back", because the theories are based on the totality of the evidence and research, and none of that would change whether or not someone found a boat. The evidence would still indicate what it indicates, and the research results would still be what they are. Nuclear isotopes would continue to decay at the same rate, population genetics would still behave the same way, etc.
It would certainly be a kick in the head for those who explain fish fossils, etc., far inland in many places, to the earths undulation.
The flood is no more far fetched than the relativity of time, worm holes, the string theory, dark matter, anti matter, etc.
Personally, with my limited knowledge, if the earth's crust is floating on a molten center, continental drift, which seems obvious by just looking at a globe, and undulation seem probable. The flood doesn't. Yet, much about the Bible doesn't seem plausible and I believe it, give or take a few translation inconsistencies.
Evesdropping devices aimed at the Soviets?
"The only answer that comes to my mind is that there are scientists and archeologists that do not want Noah's Ark found. "
I agree with you.
The muslims have Noah's ark resting ELSWHERE not on Mount Ararat. This would be a major blow to their wrong beliefs. The surroundiong areas are MUSLIM. I doubt that they would like to be WRONG on where they believe the Ark rests and Christianity and the Jews be RIGHT.

What a ridiculious idea. Archaeologists and anthropologists would be elated if Noah's Ark was found. I don't know of any theory by a reputable scientist that would be affected by this discovery. I would love to get some tree-ring data from the wood on it, lol.
Really, what is on Mt.Ararat that would be considered "classified"? The only answer that comes to my mind is that there are scientists and archeologists that do not want Noah's Ark found.

Turkey is a NATO ally. It wouldn't look good for US spy photographs of Turkey to be released. If there is suppression, this is probably why.
