Wiki actually has a decent essay on the Durupinar Site.
Identified in 1948 and had some interest until 1960 when no artifacts could be found.
Hype artist Ron Wyatt popularized it starting 1977 to raise money for himself. Wyatt also claimed to have found the site of the Red Sea crossing of the Exodus, complete with ancient Egyptian army artifacts.
He also laid claim to know where the Ark of the Covenant was. Supposedly, it was just underneath where Christ was crucified at Golgotha and Christ’s blood touched the Ark, according to him.

No. And this BS story is so old it has stale unicorn dung on it.
While I believe AI will be developed with the intent of promoting various social and political agendas, nothing would shut down its development quicker than if AI were to someday reach the conclusion that the existence of a supreme rational supernatural being is the only possible explanation for the created universe.
Geez, this is the same fraud people like Ron Ryatt have been pushing for over 30 years! Give it a rest already!

This has been known for years. I saw a photo of it in LIFE magazine back in 1956. The actual formation was found by an air survey in 1948.
“it takes millions of years for wood to fossilise into stone, so the Ark cannot have petrified in just 5,000 years.”
Say what? We often read of archaeological finds less than 2000 years old that were found fossilized.
At least that was dated well before 6000 years ago. :^)

A few days of drilling would go a long way toward settling this.
I was just looking at Meltwater Pulse 1A.
MWP-1A is estimated to have caused a global sea level rise of approximately 14–20 meters over a period of 400–500 years, with rates up to 40–60 mm/year.
It occurred 14,700–14,300 years ago.
This rapid rise required the release of massive volumes of meltwater, primarily from the melting of major ice sheets like the Laurentide Ice Sheet (North America) and possibly contributions from the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
The total volume of water released during MWP-1A is estimated to be on the order of 5,000–10,000 cubic kilometers per year sustained over centuries.
MWP 1A preceded Noah by 9,000 years. The sea levels rose 0.1 to 0.2 feet per year during MWP 1A — hardly a catastrophic flood.

True.
One either believes, or doesn't.
Even if God Himself became a man, suffered and died for our sins and rose from the dead on the 3rd day, some would still not believe.
Exactly. I saw a documentary about 10 years on this. The only thing that was strange to me is that they showed massive stone sea drogues around it. It is goofy for those things to be out in the middle of nowhere. The thing that bothered me is that they had Templar Jerusalem crosses carved into them. Sounds like the Templars might have found the ark first.
