Perhaps mankind has built a ship like Noah's Ark in history (after all, human beings can build such an incredible huge building as the pyramids, which should be technically achievable), but the matter about Noah's Ark is certainly not what the Bible says. For we know that God simply does not exist. Moreover, even if human beings had built such a large ship, they would have decayed into dust long ago, and it was impossible to survive.
If so, why is there such a legend as Noah's Ark? And why are modern people tirelessly exploring Noah's Ark, and people are still like archaeological excavations, constantly announcing to the world that the ruins of Noah's Ark have been discovered?
(Legend of Noah's Ark)
Let's answer the first question first, why is there such a legend as Noah's Ark.
First, the legend of Noah's Ark shows that there have indeed been great floods in human history, and this great flood has brought painful memories to mankind.
In China, there have also been legends of the Great Yu ZhiShui, and in the myths and legends of other countries, there have been records of great floods. This shows that in human history, the earth has indeed experienced major floods. Scientists have also proved that the main reason for the great flood on the earth is that the earth has experienced Xiaoice rivers before, followed by a warmer climate and melting glaciers, so the great flood follows.
Second, the legend of Noah's Ark shows that in human history, there have indeed been times when rules have been out of order and morals have fallen.
The story of Noah's Ark conveys a kind of re-selection and screening of human beings. Drown those who are morally depraved with a great flood, and put those who are morally high in the ark as seeds, and continue. This shows that in human history, due to technological innovation and the increase in material wealth, there have indeed been many people who indulge in their own sensory enjoyment and disregard morality and ethics.

Third, the legend of Noah's Ark shows that the ancient sages did agonize over the plight of human wandering and loneliness, and pondered the question of human destiny.
Although in the time of noah's ark, there was no such recognition that the earth was round, suspended in the vastness of the universe, and that it was a lonely planet. However, at that time, human beings actually felt lonely. Although at that time, the theory of gods and ghosts was very popular, the kingdom of heaven occupied an important place in the hearts of mankind. However, human beings have never seen the kingdom of heaven, which exists only in the illusory. This ethereal illusion inevitably makes human beings feel a strong sense of loneliness. Where will humanity go? The ancient sages must have thought about this question. However, the answer was not found, so the legend of Noah's Ark was attached.
Let's answer the second question, since Noah's Ark is certainly a myth and legend, why are modern people still tirelessly examining the actual existence of Noah's Ark?

First, through the search for Noah's Ark, look for social benefits.
For example, in 2006, an explorer found an unidentified object in a cave on Mount Aare, suspected to be a piece of wood, sent to Hong Kong for scientific testing, and was identified as a petrochemical wood structure. As a result, the guide book in Hong Kong's Ma Wan Park Pavilion treats the study as history. In order to expand social influence and engage in tourism economy.
In 2010, expeditions from Hong Kong and Turkey said they had found the wreckage of Noah's Ark in Mount Ale in eastern Turkey. At the time, Hong Kong director Yang Yongxiang, who filmed Genesis, said: "Although we can't be 100% sure that it is Noah's Ark, the probability is 99.9%. "This unreliable word is obviously to increase the box office revenue of the film."
Second, through the discovery of Noah's Ark, we continue to pursue the path of humanity to the future.
As we said earlier, as far as we know it is, the earth is the only planet with life and the only home for mankind. However, there will be disasters on the earth (this disaster may come from outside the earth, it may come from the earth itself, or it may be created by man himself. When there is another disaster, how can we save ourselves, whether we can have a ship like Noah's Ark to carry humanity to a safe place, is a question. Therefore, the search for the ancient Noah's Ark has profound symbolic significance.
