What to know

  • Noah's Ark Scans reports finding charred and uncharred wood 30 feet below the Durupınar Formation in Turkey, potentially indicating the site is Noah's Ark's final resting place.
  • Prior radar surveys and soil analysis by the team claim to show underground chambers matching biblical dimensions and unnaturally elevated organic matter, though the site has never been independently verified.
  • The researchers acknowledge the wood could alternatively derive from a shepherd's campfire, with the cause of burning still unknown.
  • Independent scientific confirmation of the discovery's significance remains pending.

    Noah's Ark Scans announces discovery of charred and uncharred wood 30 feet underground

    Andrew Jones tells the Daily Mail that excavation has revealed both burned and unburned wood at depth, which could potentially represent remains of Noah's Ark. Jones acknowledges alternative explanations, including a shepherd's campfire that may have been ignited by lightning, volcanic activity, or accident.

    “Noah's Ark was a giant wooden boat, according to the Bible. As wood decays, you're gonna find elevated organic matter.”

  2. background

    Soil analysis reveals elevated organic matter and potassium inside formation — Testing shows the inside dirt harbors three times more organic matter and 38% more potassium than samples from outside, which researchers interpret as evidence of unnatural origins. Drilling and scanning reveal rich black soil rather than natural bedrock beneath the formation.

  3. background

    Noah's Ark Scans maps subterranean chambers using ground-penetrating radar — Andrew Jones's team uses radar to map what they claim is a series of underground chambers and tunnels at the site, with dimensions said to match biblical descriptions, culminating in a central cavity Jones calls the 'Atrium.'

  4. background

    Durupınar Formation discovered near Mount Ararat — The ship-shaped geological structure, roughly 538 feet long, is identified in Eastern Turkey and begins attracting Ark hunters due to its distinctive shape and proximity to Mount Ararat.
