What is the authenticity of the claim by some geologists that there are currently existing traces of Noah’s ship and that it is on a mountain in Lebanon?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some geologists and archaeologists claim that there are traces of the ship of Noah (peace be upon him) that exist to this day, and that it landed on a mountain in Lebanon. Is this correct?

The Shaykh:
What the exegetes mention is that al-Judi is in the land of Iraq, and it appears that its name still exists today, being called al-Judi. As for whether anything of the ship remains, Allah knows best.

The presenter:
Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh:
The type of ship remains, namely the vessels you see in the seas; these are of the same type as the ship. Yes.
