We don’t need to find the Ark to accept it as a historical reality. These claims regarding this site have been made for more than 25 years and have been refuted many times before. And we will continue to doubt their claims! They can theorize all they like about the unusual parallel linear and angular features shown up by the geophysical imaging, but until they actually dig into the site to expose those features for visual identification, their theorizing simply remains that. The reality is that these “investigators” will never be able to establish what is inside this “boat-shaped formation” until such time as they actually excavate the site by digging through it.

These investigators can do all the geophysical imaging they like, but all geophysical imaging involves computer modeling of the raw data, the electrical and other signals the detectors record, and those models are subject to interpretation based on the bias of the interpreter. The Ark landed on a mountain on Day 150 of the Flood, so if it landed on a volcano that was still erupting and erupted again later during the Flood, the survival of Noah and his cargo would be at risk. It is unclear exactly the identity and location of the “mountains of Ararat”, but even this site sits on volcanic lava flows (under the mud flows), which like Mount Ararat itself is a post-Flood volcano that even recently erupted. With no mature trees available for Noah and his family to build shelters after they got off the Ark, there is every reason to expect they dismantled the Ark (which they didn’t need anymore) to salvage timber from it.īesides, this claimed Ark site is in a valley and not on a mountain as described by the Genesis account. We do not expect the Ark to have survived and been available to find after 4,350 years. Geologist, and director of our research department, Dr. But we don’t believe researchers have discovered Noah’s ark at Durupinar (or anywhere else) for a number of reasons.

It was first postulated as an Ark site back in 1959 and has been disputed (and refuted) ever since, including by Christians and creationists who believe God’s Word and would certainly love to find the ark (although we don’t have to). Well, this isn’t a new find-this is the Durupinar site we’ve written about many times before (for example here, here, and here).
