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.

Fuba fuba fuba...right....whats a cubit?
There was Noah’s, Yesah’s and Maybeah’s

Apparently there are people who think that Noah's wife was Joan of Ark.
Gobekli Tepe is just since this last more recent ice age. There is evidence all over the ancient world of people from the ice age before that, and the ice age before that one. In the timeline of hominids there has been over 20 ice ages.
But I am not discrediting that there was a flood. Every oral and written tradition in the world speaks of the flood. And geological evidence shows there was a flood. I just have a problem with “selective evidence” being used to support a pet narrative.
If they had found evidence of man before this biblical event would they be honest and include that? No... Because it doesn’t fit the biased predetermined results and narrative the funding sources expected before a shovel ever broke ground on the dig.
I am personally absolutely biting at the bit for the Bible to be proven, but honestly... Not with bias selective finds and/or evidence and twisted narratives. These type of campaigns might also discredit true evidence if and when it is found.
Just had an idea for a story. “Joan of Arkansas”
“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.”
I do satellite archaeology as a hobby using Google Earth. Have since Earth was released for public use. I have studied this particular site with great interest ever since I found out about it. It is a natural formation. There are hundreds in those hills and around it. They just do not happen to be shaped like that one. The shape is absolutely coincidental.

That is an excellent addition!
They're looking in the wrong place. KJV says "mountains" of Ararat, indicating either a range of mountains by that name or mountains in a region called "Ararat." They're looking on the "mountain" (singular) of Ararat.
Plus, the summit of Mt Ararat is more than 15,000 feet above sea level. Where on earth has evidence of flooding 15,000 feet above sea level in the last 5000 years ever been discovered?
The scans show what’s left of a boat. It can be nothing other than Noah’s Ark.
Ron Wyatt did some groundbreaking archaeology.
There was a TV show years ago called “Joan of Arcadia.”
Turkey credits Ron Wyatt with the discovery of Noah’s ark.
Thanks, and you’re right, I had spotted this. It’s a geological formation that’s millions of years old, and that’s all that it is.
When I lived in Farmington NM I often talked with Realtor Earl Cummings about this. He was a dedicated Ark-iologist That was fifty years ago.
I thought it was the Pina and the Colada ??
Misinterpretations and mistranslations happen.
Scientifically, it mandates exploring both possibilities.
I’m not labeling this as ‘it’, but merely interest in the study thereof.
I am glad the scientists are there to determine the truth. Without them, we wouldn’t have a clue as to what happened months ago.
Dude. 😂😂
Ask Noah’s Joan Van Ark.
