However, if the ark was taken to a less arid climate, I'd guess that the chances of its preservation are severely diminished.
I honestly don't know what they're made of. I just threw that out as a possibility. Egypt is arid enough wood might survive a long time. Would encasing the wood in gold and other metals help preserve it? This just isn't my area of expertise.
