Archaeologists discover boat-shaped mound that could be NOAH’S ARK in Turkish ruins
11/09/2023 // Zoey Sky // 18.2K Views

A team of archaeologists reported that they may have stumbled upon the resting place of Noah's Ark.

The archaeologists excavating a geological formation in Turkey have aged rock and soil samples that they think contain ruins of the ark. The project began in 2021 and is still ongoing.

Initial analysis has revealed that the samples contain "clayey and marine materials and seafood." The research team believes that these results suggest that human activity was present on the boat-shaped mound between 5,500 and 3,000 BC.

According to the Bible, Noah's Ark settled on the "mountains of Ararat" in Turkey after a flood that lasted 150 days drowned the Earth and every living thing on it that wasn't aboard the ark.

The geological formation located in the Dogubayazit district of Agri has been a potential site since it was discovered in 1956. Mount Ararat is the highest peak in Turkey, standing 16,500 feet tall and in the same shape as an ark would be.

Noah's Ark was said to measure "300 cubits, 50 cubits, by 30 cubits." which translates to up to 515 feet long, 86 feet wide and 52 feet high.

A team of researchers led by Istanbul Technical University (ITU), Agri Ibrahim Cecen University (AICU) and Andrew University have been working at the site for nearly one year. The researchers are collecting samples that they think could hold the key to confirming the Biblical story.

The ruins, which allegedly belong to "Noah's Ark," were discovered by expert cartographer Captain Ilhan Durupinar in 1959 in the land between Telceker and Uzengili villages of Dogubayazit.

The ruins have attracted the attention of both local and foreign tourists. (Related: Ancient tablet discovered on Mount Ebal in Nablus precedes known Hebrew inscriptions.)

Giant fissures have formed in the ruins, which are under increasing threat of landslides every year.

The "Mount Ararat and Noah’s Ark Research Team" was established in cooperation between AICU and ITU for scientific research on the ruins, whose structure was damaged due to several landslides.

The team formed within the scope of the academic cooperation protocol conducted its first study in the region in December 2022.

The group, which is made up of academics who specialize in geophysics, chemistry and geoarchaeology research, gathered at least 30 samples, including soil and rock fragments during their investigations in the region. The samples gathered from the remains were sent to ITU laboratories for closer examination.

AICU Vice Rector Professor Faruk Kaya said that based on the first findings that the team obtained from the studies, there have been signs of human activities in the region "since the Chalcolithic period between the years 5500 and 3000 BC."

Experts know that the flood of Prophet Noah went back at least 5,000 years. Kaya added that in terms of dating, there is proof of life in this region, which was revealed in the laboratory results.

However, Kaya added that it is not possible to say that the ship is at the site with the dating and that the archaeological team will need more time to find out more information.

Expert claims Mount Ararat is the wrong location

Dr. Andrew Snelling, an Earth creationist with a Ph.D. from the University of Sydney, has previously said that Mount Ararat could not be the ark's location because the mountain did not form until after the flood waters receded.

While the flood is considered a historical event, most scholars and archaeologists do not believe in literally interpreting the Ark story.

According to the Bible, God commanded Noah to build an enormous ark that could save himself, his family and a representation of all the world's animals.

The wickedness and corruption of man resulted in God's vows to send a great cleansing flood. Because God deemed Noah to be the only righteous man worth saving, he commanded him to build the ark.

The book of Genesis stated that when Noah completed his task, God sent "two of every sort" of animal to the ark. The flood waters rose until all mountains were covered, and life, except fish, was destroyed.

So, ALL of the animals, insects, birds, reptiles, etc., were once squeezed onto ONE boat. That's a good one. The Creator needs no Man-Made religions, which by the way ALL claim to be the only one, and many that are older than the Bible, had Messias that were of immaculate conceptions. As Jesus cried out "Father why has though forsaken me" well I though he KNEW why he was on that cross, but he too realized his father was not going to rush down and save him from that horrible death, or at least that's what the writers of the Bible want YOU to believe. And so, you are just goy, a term meaning unclean, and they are his "Chosen Ones", while they follow the Talmud that states, goy are just cattle, and Jesus is being punished. By the way I have some bridges for sale....

They keep trotting out this location for headlines but never mention facts:


Several mountains in Turkey have been called "Mt Ararat" over the centuries. Is the current one also the Biblical one? Who knows.


We do know from iridium deposits that a major comet or meteorite storm occurred about 13,000 years ago which rapidly melted the 2 mile thick ice sheet over North America and northern Europe. It is estimated that ocean levels rose by as much as 400 ft in one year. Since there was no detectable plumbing, nearly all humans would have been living along shorelines, which would have also risen rapidly and made them run for their lives.


Genetic extrapolation estimates that present humans descended from about 2,000 individual survivors of some unknown catastrophe, which occurred about 70,000 years ago.


Study and read. Most "journalists" no longer do that now. They just pick up a story from Reuters or AP and toss it in. How else do we explain the "covid" hysteria?
