Nah, you can't sell books and collect "expedition money" for close-up photos of a rock outcropping. It has to be an ongoing "unsolved mystery" to keep the money flowing in, so it'd be foolhardy to go resolve it the quick and easy way.
The best book, The Ark of Noah, was by David Fasold who now repudiates his idea that what he found was the ark. It did, however, appear to be an actual artifact (well, archeological site since whatever it was had decomposed and was partially buried. It did, though, contain quite a lot of iron). Ironically, it was in the Ararat range, but not on "Mt. Ararat" and was dynamited by folks who were on their way to Mt. Ararat to find what they thought was the "real" ark photographed earlier in the century. At least this guy's book brought together a lot of interesting historical ark-related material from the Near East, including various flood stories, and posited a craft that was at least plausible in a way that other descriptions have not been. They found across the region a number of very large anchor stones as well as sarcophagi and other ancient artwork depicting ark-related themes.
