A discovery buried deep beneath a remote mountainside in Turkey could offer a new clue in the centuries-old search for Noah's Ark.

Researchers investigating the Durupınar Formation near Mount Ararat recently announced that pieces of charred wood were found about 30 feet below the surface.

Now, the first photographs of the fragments have been released, revealing blackened, cracked wood with visible grain patterns and markings that researchers believe may have been made by ancient tools.

Archaeologist Dr Cenker Atila told FOX News: 'One of the wooden pieces clearly shows signs of human workmanship.

'Its surface appears to have been slightly shaped and flattened using an axe or a knife.

'The fact that these wooden fragments were found at such a considerable depth indicates that they may belong to an ancient period.'

The samples have been sent to four independent laboratories in different countries to determine their age, identify the type of wood and investigate their origins.

The funny thing is that those who don’t believe in radiocarbon dating will have to use radiocarbon dating to determine the age of the wood.

Enough evidence to stimulate mainstream archaeology stories on the Ark is beneficial, whether the ark is discovered or not.
