Researchers Claim Subterranean Features at Noah's Ark Site in Turkey
- A group of independent US researchers claims that radar scans show a fully preserved Noah's Ark at the Durupınar site, a 164-meter formation in eastern Turkey.
- The site was identified in 1948 and later promoted by amateur archaeologist Ron Wyatt in the 1970s and '80s, who claimed it was the Ark's landing place despite far-fetched ideas.
- Multiple geophysical surveys occurred at Durupınar between the 1980s and 2019, but none of the data has been published, while Noah’s Ark Scan prioritizes protecting this geologically active site.
- Skeptics note no scientific evidence supports a global flood or Noah’s Ark, with Israel Antiquities Authority expert Joe Zias calling Wyatt's claims absurd and lacking scientific basis.
- The research highlights enduring flood myths across cultures, implying these stories may stem from localized natural events rather than a literal ancient worldwide flood.

New evidence suggests Noah's wife was steering The Ark when it hit Mount Ararat
Leading theologians have uncovered new evidence that when Noah's ark hit Mount Ararat, his wife was likely steering. Naamah, daughter of Lamech, is traditionally considered to be Noah's wife, and all historical evidence seems to indicate that she was to blame for the famed vessel violently crashing into the tip of a mountain. "After studying several extra-biblical ancient texts and consulting Jewish historians, it now seems Noah's stop on the to…
