Researchers uncover potential Noah's Ark site in Turkey

Researchers are reporting significant findings at the Durupinar site near Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey, which they believe may be the final resting place of Noah's Ark. Recent soil samples have shown signs of decaying wood and higher levels of organic material, indicating the presence of a distinct structure rather than natural formations. Ground-penetrating radar has also revealed shapes consistent with the biblical dimensions of the ark. Lead researcher Andrew Jones emphasized the importance of non-invasive testing and preservation before considering excavation, stating that the site is in an area prone to harsh weather. Previous studies have suggested human activity in the region dating back 5,000 years, aligning with the timeline of the biblical flood. While the findings are intriguing, researchers caution that more evidence is needed to substantiate claims of the ark's existence.
