American Researcher Claims to Have Discovered Noah’s Ark Remains in Turkey
An American independent researcher is making waves worldwide with a remarkable claim: he may have uncovered the long-lost remains of Noah’s Ark.
Andrew Jones and his team have been investigating the mysterious Durupinar site in eastern Turkey—an enigmatic, boat-shaped formation located about 18 miles south of Mount Ararat, the very region the Bible cites as the Ark’s final resting place. Measuring approximately 538 feet in length, the formation closely matches the Ark’s dimensions described in biblical texts.
Using advanced ground-penetrating radar, Jones uncovered a 13-foot tunnel running through the center of the formation, along with possible side corridors—features that strikingly resemble the layout detailed in Genesis 6:16. Adding to the intrigue, variations in grass color and soil pH within the site suggest the presence of decomposing organic matter, possibly ancient, rotted wood.
Soil scientist William Crabtree backs these observations, highlighting elevated levels of potassium and organic compounds consistent with long-term wood decay beneath the surface.
Jones cautions, however, that what they’ve likely found is a “chemical imprint” of the Ark’s original wooden structure, rather than intact beams. The team now plans a drilling survey to gather definitive proof.
If confirmed, this discovery could mark a groundbreaking moment where science, history, and faith converge—potentially rewriting our understanding of one of humanity’s most enduring legends.
