I guess they carried up Lava Flows along with the Wood to create one of a kind elaborate Hoax.

Mount Ararat was most notably Volcanically active around 3000 b.c. and a few times since. You will notice the lava flow covering the wooden beams in some places and actually ending the beams as they seem burnt through in attached picture (left center). Hard to plant something like this. Either this is Noah's Ark or an old man-made structure (ref. 1840 volcanic activity) that has been exposed to volcanic activity.

Since this region has shrines (and place names) commemorating Noah going back hundreds if not thousands of years, it wouldn't be surprising to see something like this.
