It may just be a discovery of biblical proportions.
Scientists have placed humans at the site of what is believed to be the “ruins of Noah’s Ark,” in the eastern mountains of Turkey.
The findings, released earlier this week, of rock and soil samples determined that “clayey materials, marine materials and seafood” were present in the area between 5500 and 3000 BC, according to the Turkish newspaper Hürriyet.
The study is comprised of three Turkish and American universities that have been investigating the theory of the site since 2021.
The “Mount Ararat and Noah’s Ark Research Team” group was created for scientific research on the ruins, whose structure was damaged due to landslides, and carried out its first study in Dec. 2022.
Located less than 2 miles from the Iran-Turkey border, in the Doğubayazıt district of Ağrı lies the Durupinar formation, a 538-foot geographic feature made of limonite, believed by some to be the petrified remains of Noah’s Ark.

The holy texts of three major religions, Christianity, Judaism and Islam all have references to Noah and the ark, but scientists have yet to determine the authenticity of the stories.
The formation was first discovered by a Kurdish farmer in 1948 before Turkish Army Captain Ilhan Durupinar identified the site in 1951 when he was flying over the area while on a NATO mapping mission,” according to the Noah’s Ark Scans project.

—> Did the Ark have sister ships?
Yes.
The Pinta and the Santa Maria.
(Christianity, Judaism and Islam )
The False Prophet will weave Islam into things to deceive the world 🌎🌍 into worshipping the Antichrist.
Expect such narratives to only continue and in fact, strengthen.
The deceived world 🌎🌍 keeps trying to weave them into “commonality” thinking they’re going to solve this problem.
They’re only falling into Satan’s trap.
“How long can you tread water?”
I remember hearing that on LP at a friends house!
The Niña and Pinta?
ha ha good stuff.
Sometimes I wonder if all this revealing of things about the Bible these days is by Angels making a last ditch effort to save people before it’s the end of the world, because maybe we’re living in that time.
Just sometimes.
Of course. There is physical proof of ancient man all over the old world. From not long after the beginning of man to date. If they dug deeper they would find more evidence from before the ark timeline.
The site has already been visited countless times, by many many different research teams. I saw a documentary on it probably twenty years ago. Geologists are almost all basically in agreement the formation is rock, that is native to that area, and the formation is not that unusual, other than it is visible on the surface when most are underground. It would be great if it was something more, but according to all samples so far it’s not petrified wood.
Wikipedia is hardly a rock solid source (pun intended), but this is a pretty good summary of the history.

Gobekli Tepe in Turkey for one.
I was at a presentation yesterday by two archeologists who are conducting a dig at Shiloh, north of Jerusalem. The things they have found are astounding and continue to prove the validity of scripture.
They had humans in the biblical era? Who knew?
These idiotic articles are as predictable as the seasons. That said, we are past due for an article about medical maggots or a Chinese foodstuff made from recycled waste harvested from hospital dumpsters.
Yes, an idiotic article.
But it is reporting on the first ever scientific testing of samples from the site.
Everything prior (at least that I’d seen) was conjecture.
No matter the outcome, I appreciate good science. The rest of the story remains untold: Why the Turkish government changed decades of policy and permitted scientific study of the site.
