Noah's Ark Found on Turkish Mountaintop?

Is this really Noah’s Ark that has been found on a Turkish mountaintop? Some Chinese and Turkish evangelicals seem to think so.

A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelicals claim they found the remains of the Biblical Noah’s Ark, right in the place where the Bible says it came to rest,
"
"And the ark rested in the seventh month on the seventeenth day day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat. Genesis 8:4-5.

The group claims that carbon dating proves the relics are 4,800 years old, meaning they date to around the same time the ark was said to be afloat. Mt. Ararat has long been suspected as the final resting place of the craft by evangelicals and literalists hoping to validate biblical stories. Story at Fox News.

The UK Telegraph is also reporting on this story.

If this is indeed the remains of Noah's Ark, I find it is interesting the Lord has chosen to reveal this biblical archaeolgical discovery now, at a time when the Bible tells us just before Jesus returns to earth, the days will be like the days of Noah, when sin was rampant and God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Genesis 6:12-13
