If I recall correctly, the reason they haven’t been able to get people up there is because the Turkish government won’t issue permits for them. For some reason, a muslim government doesn’t want evidence of Biblical events made public ... go figure.
THe Turkish govt is not Moose-limb. Not yet anyway.
It could be they don’t want to waste money rescuing nutcases lost in the mountains, taken hostage by local hill tribes (Turkish hillbillys - now there is a thought) or any number of reasonable excuses.
As far as the ark itself - it is as likely to be found as the UFO base at the HAARP installation....
Well, the muslims believe in Noah’s ark also, so I think their is some other reason if they are preventing people from trekking up there and trying to dig up something underneath the ice sheet.
