The biblical Noah's Arc is not resting on the slopes of Mount Ararat, modern Turkey, according to scientists who have recently returned from an expedition in the area.

The objects mistaken for remains of a giant ship are natural, they told Russian journalists.

"Everything we saw, all the samples we collected indicate that Noah's Arc is not located on Ararat's western slope.
