In the 1940s, some joker *made up* an early-20th century Russian expedition that had found and measured the Ark, in order to raise money to mount another expedition to find what the Russians had found (presumably the Russian results were said to be forgotten due to WWI and the Bolshevik massacres and takeover).

I’m not among those who think this makes Christians look foolish — I think this latest hoax makes the gullible look a little silly though. :’)

IIRC, this area was at one time difficult to access because it was so close to the NATO/Warsaw Pact border, but that's no longer the case. It appears a number of expeditions have been up there in recent years.

Agreed!
