US EditionResearchers Claim Subterranean Features at Noah's Ark Site in Turkey
- A group of independent US researchers claims that radar scans show a fully preserved Noah's Ark at the Durupınar site, a 164-meter formation in eastern Turkey.
- The site was identified in 1948 and later promoted by amateur archaeologist Ron Wyatt in the 1970s and '80s, who claimed it was the Ark's landing place despite far-fetched ideas.
- Multiple geophysical surveys occurred at Durupınar between the 1980s and 2019, but none of the data has been published, while Noah’s Ark Scan prioritizes protecting this geologically active site.
- Skeptics note no scientific evidence supports a global flood or Noah’s Ark, with Israel Antiquities Authority expert Joe Zias calling Wyatt's claims absurd and lacking scientific basis.
- The research highlights enduring flood myths across cultures, implying these stories may stem from localized natural events rather than a literal ancient worldwide flood.
