Well first off civilization at the time of the BC's was no where near what it is at now. One thing where they had us Astronomy. Also said cultures were extremely advanced mathematically(sp) speaking, at least more then we have given them credit. But the reason why the ark is not around is because Noah's story takes place nearly 7000 years ago, and if you want to bring Gilgamesh into it I think that dates back almost 22,000 years (correct me if I'm wrong). That having been said, metal rusts and wood rots.
