Fernand Navarra French industrialist: he saw under the ice an dark mass alike to keel of a ship. In the '55 and in the '69 of it put out some wood pieces, that it brought to to analyze in the four laboratories of world fame: to  Cairo, Madrid,  Paris and to Bordeaux. The tests on the degree of fossilization, on the cellular modification etc,they showed that the champion went up again really to the epoch of the Deluge, that is 4500 years ago around.

Photo 115: Some wood pieces of Noah's Ark. N° 1 and 2 are samples of the hundreds of pieces sustaining the lower story. One can clearly see that they had been L (look also photo bellow) shaped. In that way, with these L shaped wood pieces, they could sustain the lower story well and so it was available a bigger volume of drinkable water both Noah's family and for the animals.

Here is what Navarra found in 1955, a part of the basement deck of the Ark from which he took away a 1,50 m beam. In summer 1969 with Search Expediton, Navarra found five little wood trunks (from the hundreds...) dividing the basement deck / lower story. (See above photo 115 and photo below).
