It is not uncommon for natural features to resemble man-made objects,
especially when the object is as simple as a box and the resolution is
rather poor. Some of the experts who examined the satellite photos
identified the anomaly as a geological feature. The photo of the
"Ararat Anomaly" with the article by Morris resembles a shadowed snow
escarpment similar to others in the same picture.
An ark-sized box on Mount Ararat would not be consistent with what we
would expect to find if the biblical account were true. First, the
Ararat referred to in the Bible is a region,
which biblical
scholars think was further north than the mountain called Ararat today.
Second, glacial activity in the region photographed almost certainly
would have reduced Noah's ark to lumber, had it been there.
To evaluate photographs, it is important to know the conditions under
which the photograph was taken, including distance and type of camera.
Such conditions are not even considered in this case.
