N2145: Resit, a Kurdish farmer, found the ark in 1948
Edited by Greg Neyman
Argument:
In 1948, a Kurdish farmer named Resit reported finding the prow of the ark protruding from ice two-thirds the way up Ararat. The wood was black and too hard to cut off a sample. Based on this account, A.J. Smith organized an expedition, hoping to use Resit as a guide. They could not find Resit or the ark

Response:
-
Resit reportedly told other locals, and they also viewed the ark. Smith could not locate Resit, nor anyone else he told the story to.
-
LaHaye and Morris say this is because Resit was Muslim. However, Muslims also believe in Noah's Ark, so the Ark would not be a problem for them
-
With no evidence to support this story, it cannot be corroborated
