Researchers from the California-based group\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/noahsarkscans.com\/\">Noah\u2019s Ark Scans<\/a>\u00a0claim that ground-penetrating radar surveys of the Durup\u0131nar Formation \u2014 a 157-meter-long mound located about 18 miles south of Mount Ararat \u2014 have revealed what appear to be interior corridors, angular subterranean structures, and a central tunnel large enough, they say, to walk through. The secular press, predictably, oscillates between breathless wonder and performative skepticism. Neither reaction quite serves the truth.<\/p>\n<p>The story is not new \u2014 which is itself worth noting. The Durup\u0131nar site was first spotted from the air in September 1959 by Turkish Army Captain \u0130lhan Durup\u0131nar during a post-earthquake aerial survey. Amateur archaeologist and Bible believer Ron Wyatt spent the better part of two decades promoting it through the 1980s and \u201890s before his death in 1999.<\/p>\n<p>What is new is the scope and sophistication of the technology now being brought to bear on the site, and, perhaps more significantly, the announcement that a formal excavation \u2014 the first ever sanctioned at this location \u2014 is being planned in partnership with Turkish universities including Istanbul Technical University and A\u011fr\u0131 \u0130brahim \u00c7e\u00e7en University.<\/p>\n<p>Lead researcher Andrew Jones of Noah\u2019s Ark Scans has deployed ground-penetrating radar, infrared thermography, electrical resistivity tomography, and soil analysis across the formation. The results, he argues, are anything but random.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not what you would anticipate finding if the site were merely a solid block of rock or the result of random mudflow debris,\u201d Jones told CBN. \u201cHowever, it is precisely what you would expect to discover if this were a constructed boat, consistent with the biblical specifications for Noah\u2019s Ark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soil samples from 22 locations returned traces of clay-like materials, marine sediments, and remnants of shellfish \u2014 with radiometric dating placing the samples between 3,500 and 5,000 years old. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blessed.report\/p\/what-the-tunnels-beneath-mount-ararat\">https:\/\/www.blessed.report\/p\/what-the-tunnels-beneath-mount-ararat<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As far as the age of the Ark goes, the COGwriter article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/timeline.htm\">Timelines and Early Church History<\/a> has the time of the Great Flood dated to 2325 B.C., 4350 years ago. So, the dating range is consistent.<\/p>\n<p>Here is more from that article:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Some of the most pointed criticism of the Durup\u0131nar site comes from within the creation science community itself. Geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling of Answers in Genesis, who has studied the site for decades, raises two significant objections.<\/p>\n<p>The first is geological: the Durup\u0131nar formation sits in a valley roughly 3,280 feet deep on the southern slopes of Mount Ararat \u2014 a volcano that last erupted as recently as 1840. The second is scriptural: Genesis 8:4 places the ark\u2019s resting point high enough that it would take another 74 days after grounding before the tops of the surrounding mountains became visible. A valley floor does not fit that description. Snelling notes that geophysical surveys \u2014 whether GPR, LiDAR, or resistivity imaging \u2014 always require interpretation, and that interpretation inevitably reflects the assumptions of the interpreter. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Professor Faruk Kaya of A\u011fr\u0131 \u0130brahim \u00c7e\u00e7en University, commenting on ceramic fragments found near the site during recent road construction, agreed that while the pottery indicates human activity in the area between roughly 3000 and 5500 BC, it does not constitute archaeological proof of anything more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the studies carried out so far,\u201d Kaya said, \u201cno satisfactory information or evidence has been reached.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>None of this settles the question \u2014 and that is precisely the point. The answer to \u201cHas Noah\u2019s Ark been found?\u201d remains, for the moment, no. What has been found is a genuinely remarkable site that warrants serious, methodical, and fully transparent scientific investigation. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blessed.report\/p\/what-the-tunnels-beneath-mount-ararat\">https:\/\/www.blessed.report\/p\/what-the-tunnels-beneath-mount-ararat<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, there are concerns that this may not be the actual location. But it is possible that seismic activity or weather incidents could have possibly moved the Ark from its original resting place. Let me also add here (04\/26\/26) the following scripture:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; (Genesis 10:25)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It may be that the division included continental separations and\/or changing the topography of the Ark location.<\/p>\n<p>That said, here is another article related to this site in Turkey:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2>Jesus Warned The Last Days Would Mirror The Days Of Noe, And Now Fresh Claims About Noah\u2019s Ark In Turkey Arrive As Another Witness To A World Ripe For Judgment<\/h2>\n<p>April 21, 2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>For a generation<\/strong> racing at full speed toward the judgment of God, it is more than a little remarkable that new claims about Noah\u2019s Ark are surfacing right now, in the very hour when Jesus Christ told us to look back to \u201cthe days of Noe\u201d as the prophetic template for the end. The lost world hears these reports and shrugs, the scoffers mock, the scientists argue, and life rolls on uninterrupted, exactly as it did before the flood came and swept them all away. Whether this latest discovery in Turkey turns out to be the final word on Noah\u2019s Ark or just another breadcrumb on the trail, the larger truth remains fixed and unmovable: the world of Noah laughed at the warning until judgment fell, and this Laodicean generation is doing the very same thing here at the end of the Church Age.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jesus did not say<\/strong> the last days would merely contain interesting archaeological discussions, He said they would be \u201cas the days of Noe were,\u201d a time marked by normalcy, indifference, and total spiritual blindness. Men would eat, drink, marry, build, buy, sell, and carry on as if tomorrow is guaranteed, all while ignoring the clear warnings of coming wrath. So when headlines begin circling again around Noah, the Ark, and the flood, the Bible believer doesn\u2019t have to force the connection, it is <em>already there in plain sight<\/em>. The issue is not whether the world can locate every timber of the Ark, the issue is whether this lost world will heed the warning the Ark represents before the door is shut once more. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Jones, a researcher with Noah\u2019s Ark Scans, told GB News that \u201cexciting new findings\u201d about the rock formation first discovered in 1959 on Turkey\u2019s Mount Ararat could prove the boat from the Book of Genesis once existed. Ground penetrating\u00a0radar scans and soil samples from the tunnel site\u00a0\u2014 which reportedly match the 515-foot dimensions of Noah\u2019s Ark \u2014 uncovered a series of \u201ccorridors\u201d below the earth, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tunnels were discovered<\/strong> running down the middle of the \u201cboat\u201d and alongside the inside edge of the possible ship, leading to a central cavity Jones called the atrium. \u201cGod told Noah to bring the animals in. And so these animals would have stayed there, plus Noah and his family. What\u2019s interesting is that these voids are lining up below the ground \u2013 and they\u2019re not just random,\u201d Jones told the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese tunnels are also following a pattern. GPR is just a way to look below the soil using radar. There\u2019s also been studies done with IRT, which is another geophysical technique \u2013 and they\u2019re showing a ship-shaped hull still preserved deep in the soil,\u201d the researcher said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2024, we took 88 random soil samples inside and outside of that ship shape,\u201d Jones recalled. \u201cAnd what they showed was that the soil inside the ship shape had three times more organic matter than right outside, and 38 per cent more potassium.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat that shows is that the soil is unique. And the grass, in the fall, it has a yellower color just inside. It\u2019s exactly the link given to the Bible. It\u2019s 300 Egyptian cubits. For us, these are all positive lines that we\u2019re pursuing, and it\u2019s showing that there\u2019s more to be found,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fossil remains found<\/strong> deposited around the boat-shaped site, which sits roughly 6,500 feet above sea level, could also show evidence of the Great Flood, Jones argued. Ancient coral and seashells uncovered by researchers could prove that \u201cone time this area was underwater,\u201d he added. Jones and his team are now considering exploring the mysterious tunnels with a robotic device. \u201cWe have a team that is designing a robotic, remote-controlled device that could go down inside the holes and explore the tunnels,\u201d he told the outlet. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nowtheendbegins.com\/biblical-archaeologists-in-turkey-make-astounding-discovery-regarding-noahs-ark-as-the-world-grows-ever-closer-to-the-days-of-noe-jesus-warned-about\/\">https:\/\/www.nowtheendbegins.com\/biblical-archaeologists-in-turkey-make-astounding-discovery-regarding-noahs-ark-as-the-world-grows-ever-closer-to-the-days-of-noe-jesus-warned-about\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Back in 2023, <em>Israel365 News <\/em>posted the following related to this site<em>:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Scientists announce: Site of Noah\u2019s Ark shows human activity between 5500-3000 BCE<\/h2>\n<p>November 13, 2023<\/p>\n<p>A team from Istanbul Technical University (\u0130T\u00dc) and A\u011fr\u0131 \u0130brahim \u00c7e\u00e7en University (A\u0130\u00c7\u00dc)has been researching an area in which they believe lie the remains of Biblical Noah\u2019s Ark.<\/p>\n<p>A research team from Istanbul Technical University (\u0130T\u00dc), Andrew University, and A\u011fr\u0131 \u0130brahim \u00c7e\u00e7en University (A\u0130\u00c7\u00dc) carried out its first study of the site in December 2022.

The site is located 8 miles south of the Greater Mount Ararat summit at an elevation of about 2,000 meters above sea level.

I posted the following here over a decade ago:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p>July 9, 2014<\/p>\n<p>By the end of March 2014, a team consisting of Turkish, Dutch and Belgian members launched an expedition on Mount Ararat, Turkey and found at an altitude of 4.000 meters remains of a possible wooden structure and also pottery. Jeroen Rensen, a Dutch archaeologist from the team, was pleased with the success of the expedition. He says, \u201cIt was very tough. Heavy winds and snowstorms made the first two attempts to reach the site fail. The third and last all-or-nothing attempt succeeded and the team reached the location. There, in a fissure within the icecap under 10 meters of rock, ice and snow we found well-preserved wooden remains and pottery too.\u201d Later this year a major scientific expedition will conduct a follow-up investigation to determine what the artifacts and wooden remains constitute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Another witness is a Belgian physician, Dr. Marcel Verheyen. In response to the critics that wood and artifacts were deliberately planted, he says, \u201cThat is absolutely impossible. The mountain\u2019s terrible terrain is rather inaccessible, let alone to carry beams of wood. You need to be there and see it with your own eyes, before you put forward any hypothesis. I am 100% sure that it is impossible to plant such a structure there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recent reports of discovery of wood remains on Mount Ararat were made in 2010 by a Hong Kong based Christian group, NAMI (Noah\u2019s Ark Ministries International), yet the finding has been overshadowed by lot of criticisms. The site documented by Rensen and Verheyen in March is in the vicinity of the claim made a few years back. Participating in the expedition as independent investigators, Rensen and Verheyen do not want to engage into the controversy, but conduct a step-by-step scientific exploration with a multi-disciplinary scientific team. Rensen says, \u201cThe question of whether there are any wooden remains at all on Mount Ararat has been answered. But so many questions still remain. The main question to be answered now is: What type of site do the remains at this location represent?\u201d \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/popefrancis.einnews.com\/pr_news\/212962036\/remains-of-wooden-structure-and-pottery-found-on-mount-ararat-turkey?n=1&amp;code=oxPopNDvaPkLwTjA\">http:\/\/popefrancis.einnews.com\/pr_news\/212962036\/remains-of-wooden-structure-and-pottery-found-on-mount-ararat-turkey?n=1&amp;code=oxPopNDvaPkLwTjA<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I have long felt that the day may come when Noah&#8217;s ark is conclusively found.<\/p>\n<p>There are at least two risks associated with that. One would be that it later would be supposedly proven to be false\u2014which would emboldened biblical skeptics.<\/p>\n<p>But the other is because both biblical (e.g. Revelation 13:4,8) and non-biblical prophecy warn of a time when an ecumenical religion will take over much of the world, if Noah&#8217;s Ark is ever conclusively accepted, this could represent part of a major turning point in getting more of humanity to accept a coming world religion that claims to be Christian. Since many cultures have a tale of the flood (see <a title=\"300 Versions of the Flood\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/old-testament-history\/300-versions-of-the-flood\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">300 Versions of the Flood<\/a>), this will make the coming ecumenical religion acceptable even to certain cultures that do not normally refer to the Bible for their beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus warned that the end times would be like the time PRIOR to the flood of Noah&#8217;s time:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>36 &#8220;But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. (Matthew 24:36-44)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Many will not understand end time prophecies and not pay sufficient attention (see also <a title=\"Permanent Link to Is there a need for a prophet now?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/doctrine\/is-there-a-need-for-a-prophet-now\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Is there a need for a prophet now?<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>We know the great flood happened.

It is referred to as the Durup\u0131nar Formation \u2014 a 157-meter-long mound located about 18 miles south of Mount Ararat. Researchers from the California-based group Noah\u2019s Ark Scans claim that ground-penetrating radar surveys of the Durup\u0131nar Formation have revealed what appear to be interior corridors, angular subterranean structures, and a central tunnel large enough, they say, to walk through. Some archaeologists suggest that the age is consistent with Noah&#8217;s Ark and the Great Flood (which happened about 4350 years ago). Could a valley location be consistent with the account in Genesis? What about the dividing of the earth in the time of Peleg? For some Protestants the very idea sends a familiar current of hope that this will lead many to convert to Christianity. But is that the case? Are there any risks? Did Jesus warn that the last days would be like the days of Noah? If so, what precisely did Jesus warn would be the case? What are two risks associated with concluding that Noah&#8217;s Ark truly has been found?
