If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times:
Ballard did not find a house.
Ballard did not find "upright-standing walls".
Ballard found an arrangement of low mounds
that look like the outline of a ship's hull,
and its wheelhouse.
The oldest wood from the site dated from
about 4000 years ago (Bronze age, 1 1/2 millennia
after the date of the supposed flood, which
no serious researcher has considered to be possible
since the end of the last millennium),
or
from Napoleon's lifetime.
Site 82 might be related to the Crimean War, but
it is not related to an event that didn't occur 7500 years ago.
After the radiocarbon dates on those wood samples
from his "Site 82" were reported,
Ballard stopped talking about going back to the site, and
he has admitted publicly that he
"did nor find a smoking gun" there, re:
evidence of habitation of the Black Sea floor:

"Black Sea Trip Yields No Flood Conclusions"

Here's your "house down there with upright-standing walls":

The site description is here, in the American Journal of
Archaeology, October, 2001, Figure 13 , page 617 ,
on the 45th page of the pdf (images of the site are in
Figures 14 and 15, some early radiocarbon dates are in
Table 1 on page 615):

"Deepwater Archaeology of the Black Sea:
The 2000 Season at Sinop, Turkey"

Ballard did not find "Noah's House".
How many times do I have to tell you this?
