 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ark of the Covenant
The Ark of the Covenant was a kind of chest, measuring two cubits and a half in length, a cubit and a half in breadth, and a cubit and a half in height.
At God's command, the Ark was carried in procession around the city for seven days, until the walls crumbled at the sound of the trumpets and the shouts of the people, thus giving the assailing army a free opening into the place (Joshua 6:6-21).
Some of them inconsiderately cast a glance upon the Ark, whereupon they were severely punished by God; seventy men (the text usually received says seventy men and fifty thousand of the common people; but this is hardly credible as Bethsames was only a small country place) were thus smitten, as a punishment for their boldness.

 Planet Ark : London ducks quack it louder
LONDON - Ducks quack to each other in regional dialects, with London ducks brashly drowning out their relaxed rural relatives, a researcher says.
Victoria de Rijke of Middlesex University compared ducks in central London to peers in quiet, rural Cornwall as part of her academic quest to answer the crucial question: 'Do ducks quack in the same way all over the world?'
"There are definite differences between them, with the London ducks noisier, laughing raucously, and the Cornish ones soft and chilled-out," she said last week, attributing this to the need for city dwellers to make themselves heard over a background drone of police sirens, aeroplanes, trains and other noises.

In conclusion, it is difficult to be optimistic that remains of the Ark of Noah might someday be found on Mt. Ararat.

Many Ark enthusiasts link the discovery of the Ark with end- time prophecy, an idea which could be true, but as far as we know is without any Biblical support.
