Bombshell discovery at 'site of Noah's Ark' which researchers say could prove Biblical story true
Daily Mail ^ | 5/13/25 | Stacey Liberatore

High in the mountains of Turkey sits a mysterious geological formation that some researchers believe could be the remains of Noah's Ark.

According to the Bible, the massive vessel saved humanity and every kind of animal from annihilation during a catastrophic flood more than 4,300 years ago.

Now, a team of American researchers working at Durupinar Formation near Mount Ararat has uncovered evidence of angular structures and a void deep within the mountain.

Seems to me Noah and the family would have scavenged most of the Ark to use after the waters went down. Who knows - if they decided to leave a boat laying around, it would be an interesting find.

I’d be excited if I hadn’t read this same story in a different place about every six months for the last 30 years.

Pretty sure I saw it on “That’s Incredible” in the 1980s, too.

Well - in a typological sense, I guess.

The most valuable thing on that Ark was a breath of fresh air.

It looks like a sharp convex fold. An anticline. Either way, it looks like rock and not wood.

They found the compost pile with all the various animal droppings. Somebody had to clean the ark out.

This is a scam almost as old as Noah's Ark itself.

Article debunking it from 1992

IT! WASN’T! BOMBSHELL! Clickbait back then. But just as dubious.

The Durupinar site has been offered up as a possible remnant since it was discovered in 1948.

I would have shoveled the manure out of it into a huge compost pile, and then lived in this ark into which I invested so much labor. At least for a few years. Then again, my carriage house hasn’t housed horses for almost a century and has all new floors, yet it still has a bit of the old odor.

FR seems to have made it through the whole Easter season this year without some BOMBSHELL about the imminent slaughter and burning of The Red Heifer. Amazing.

thousands of years ago. Wood would likely be long gone.

I spent some time going down the black hole of possible relics including remnants of the cross. As a Christian I was longing to see what remains. I quickly found out there no shortage of people claiming they have some relic from whenever.

One has to be quite skeptical about these things. I find the Bible to be enough for me.

Manure? Ask anyone on a farm; that’s the smell of FREEDOM, Son! ;)

Duh. Everyone knows the ark is in Kentucky.

It would have been difficult to dismantle, considering all of the ark welding.
