Paul's skepticism is appropriate. The original article was published by the Weekly World News, the supermarket tabloid that is also running stories such as "Aliens Abduct Cheerleaders" and "Elvis IS Alive".

Are you sure about that? The only source that I can find for this is a web based publication called "WorldNetDaily". While its editorial style is certainly sensationalist and celebrity driven, it is not "Weekly World News" stuff which is just plain MIB (pop culture reference to the movie Men In Black). I don't doubt that the basic facts are there concerning the possibility of displaying the Ark, but the hype and sensationalism with which it is reported and described and embroidered is all manufactured.
