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"?

Just guessing: Mt Ararat is in Turkey. Spying on an ally may prove embarrassing. There may be military bases, or whatever. Just guessing why things are suppressed in a satellite picture

Plus the fact the resolution capability of the satellite taking the pictures is classified. They could be taking a picture of Kansas and it would be classified.

I read something years ago concerning the Turkish/Soviet border....that and something about missile sites.
