Here’s why the Durupinar Formation is the most compelling location of Noah’s Ark:

1) Virtually the EXACT same length
2) 26 Drogue (boat anchor) stones found in vicinity
3) Located in the EXACT place described in the Bible

📍WHY Archaeologists are SO against it:

1) It would validate the Bible
2) Confirmation of the Great Flood and/or Noah’s Ark would require Textbooks to be completely rewritten
3) Countless archaeologists, historians, professors, and so-called “experts” will permanently lose all credibility

They desperately want this to be debunked.
The most comprehensive Scientific testing of this site is at last underway, the results haven’t even been published. YET, the naysayers are prematurely rallying against it, frantically hoping for it to be simply a natural geological formation.

The distinction between the truly opened-minds VS the closed-minds has never been more clear.

Good morning from Noah’s Ark in Eastern Turkey! A few updates:

Radar Scans have found 3 layers beneath the surface of the formation, within those layers, there are chambers, corridors, organized patterns and tunnels consisting of perfect right angles. (Genesis says that God told Noah to build the Ark with 3 floors).

Scientists confirm the formation is 💯 NOT geological. They say, and I quote, that it is a “man-made object” (one agnostic scientist said he thinks it could even be a space ship? lol)

No bedrock has been detected by even the most advanced scans (the same kind the U.S. Military uses to detect 50 meters from the surface. Biggest arguments by skeptics (who have never even been to the site) all claim the formation is bedrock, which we can confirm without a doubt that it is not.

The Top (and most exposed) tier is decaying and the hardened mudflow encasing the rims of the boat are basically the only thing holding it together. It’s very fragile (as to be expected with 4,300 year old wood). It was also custom for Silk Road travelers to detour to the Durupinar Formation so that they could take pieces of the exposed wood and pitch to make good luck charms, so some of the top tier is missing entirely.

But beneath the surface the bottom two layers appear to still be in tact, and we believe we have hit a floor of petrified wood (to be confirmed).

More to come!

Please consider supporting Noah’s Ark Scans and their work as they try to raise funds for core drilling and further additional lab testing and soil analysis.

“Radar Scans have found 3 layers beneath the surface of the formation, within those layers, there are chambers, corridors, organized patterns and tunnels consisting of perfect right angles.”

Did the same people make the radar scans beneath the pyramids a few months ago?

Interesting. I don’t need proof, myself, but if it would help someone to believe in God, then I’m all for it.

STILL DO NOT KNOW WHY GOD HAD NOAH BRING RATTLESNAKES & MOSQUITOES ONTO THE ARK.

If you could visit the Ark, hug one of the beams, .....would you sin any less?

Focus on sin.

1) Virtually the EXACT same length

In other words it's not the correct dimensions, either by the common cubit or the royal cubit, so they have to fudge with "virtually."

2) 26 Drogue (boat anchor) stones found in vicinity

The stones are in the region, not in the vicinity. The Bible doesn't mention drogue stones, and there is no evidence these are connected with the Ark. They are interesting, but could be cited as evidence for any Ark location in the region.

3) Located in the EXACT place described in the Bible

The Bible speaks of the Ark coming to rest in the "mountains of Urartu" - that is, the ancient kingdom of Urartu/Ararat. That's a pretty broad region, not an "exact place."

The Durupinar fraud was concocted by Ron Wyatt, a serial fraudster who claimed to have found everything from the holy grail to Aaron's rod to the chariot wheels of the Egyptians in the Red Sea, and everything in between. He's a bad joke, and so are any claims derived from his madness.
