Radar scans detected chemical imprints, wood fragments, and hall-like shapes, suggesting remnants of Noah’s Ark may lie buried.
Archaeologists and independent researchers have reported a remarkable discovery in Turkey, claiming remnants of Noah’s Ark may lie buried in the Durupinar Formation near Mount Ararat. Using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), an American team detected a “chemical imprint,” “pieces of wood in the ground,” and “the shape of a hall.”
Researcher Andrew Jones told The Christian Broadcasting Network: “We’re not expecting something that’s fully preserved. What’s left is the chemical imprint, pieces of wood, and the shape of a hall.”
The scans revealed angular formations and what appear to be central and side corridors matching the ark’s biblical three decks. Soil analysis showed elevated potassium and organic matter levels inside the formation, further suggesting human construction rather than a natural formation.
Exposed after 1948 rainfall and seismic activity, the site lies 18 miles south of Mount Ararat. While debate continues, the team asserts their findings align closely with the Bible’s description of Noah’s Ark.
