There were many pieces of evidence the tape provided concerning the existence of the ark. There was a section about a man and his son going up that mountain with a video camera and finding wooden planks in a region far above the timber line. The planks being too large to carry, the man chopped them up into smaller pieces and brought some down to be analyzed. The results indicated that the wood had been exposed to water for a prolonged period of time. (Other things were mentioned, but I can't remember all of them. The important parts of his adventure was recorded on film.) The last thing the documentary showed was a photograph of half of the ark resting on the side of the mountain. Apparently something like an earthquake had torn the ark in two. The shaped was clearly recognizable; even the horizontal lines made by the planks on the side of the ark were visible! I guess one could claim that the photographs (and everything else they said) were phoney, but if the film makers were lying, they sure made themselves very vulnerable to careful scrutiny by making it public.
