Noah’s Ark Hunters Share Update, Declare ‘We’re Going In’

Summary

A team of international scientists has started drilling into a large boat-shaped rock formation in Turkey called the Durupınar Formation, believed by some to be the remains of Noah’s Ark. They are collecting samples and using a special underground robot to learn if the formation is natural or man-made.

Key Facts

  • The Durupınar Formation is a 515-foot boat-shaped rock located south of Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey.
  • The biblical story says Noah’s Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat after the flood.
  • The research team includes archaeologists, geologists, and soil scientists from multiple countries.
  • They have begun drilling and taking core samples, recovering materials up to 60 feet deep.
  • Preliminary radar data shows the formation is not just solid rock but may have internal structures.
  • The team uses a robot called Gopher with a high-resolution camera to explore underground areas humans cannot reach.
  • Past studies have said the Durupınar Formation is a natural rock, but this project aims to test that claim with scientific methods.
  • More detailed laboratory analysis of the samples is planned, and additional work is expected next year.
