Researchers Claim Noah's Ark Discovery Near Mount Ararat
An international team believes a man-made structure detected deep underground in Turkey is the final resting place of Noah's Ark.
A formation located approximately 18 miles south of Mount Ararat in Turkey may be the resting place of Noah's Ark, according to researchers who claim to be '100 percent confident' in their findings. An international team has spent decades investigating the site, known as the Durupınar Formation, and recently employed ground-penetrating radar and other technologies to analyze a suspected man-made structure buried underground.
The radar scans reportedly captured a series of right angles about 20 feet below the surface, which researchers interpret as potential internal structures or animal stalls within the ark. The team has also collected samples from the site, which will be analyzed for signs of decaying wood, a potential indicator of ancient shipbuilding. Further studies using infrared thermography are planned, which could reveal a ship-shaped hull beneath the soil.
Pottery found at the site has also been cited by researchers as evidence, with claims that it predates the biblical Great Flood. The Durupınar site was first identified in 1959 by a shepherd.
