Claim
In 1916, a story by Vladimir Roskovitsky told how he and other Russian aviators sighted the Ark, nearly intact, grounded on the shore of a lake on Ararat. An expedition reached the Ark about a month later. Photographs and plans were sent to the Czar, but the Bolsheviks overthrew the Czar a few days later, and the evidence was lost.
Later testimony revealed that that account -- even the name Roskovitsky -- was 95% fiction, but other Russian soldiers have told of hearing of an expedition mounted in 1917 to discover Noah's Ark, based on something in a lake spotted from the air.

Responses
