New scientific discoveries strengthen the hypothesis that the famous Durupinar formation on the Turkey-Iran border could indeed hide the remains of the biblical Noah’s Ark.

The “Mount Ararat and Noah’s Ark Research Team”, consisting of scientists from universities in Turkey and the United States, began in 2021 to collect materials – stones and soil – from the formation, which they examined in laboratories with the latest scientific methods.

Their analysis, conducted at Istanbul Technical University, sought to determine the age and composition of the formation, with a particular focus on detecting signs of ancient human activity or evidence that the site was once submerged under water.

As Sun reveals, the results of the analyzes were surprising.

  • First, the samples were dated between 3500 and 5000 years old – perfectly match the biblical timeline of Noah’s flood.
  • Second, and more impressively, the team revealed her presence of clay-like substances and marine materials into the ground.
  • Third, the physical features of the site closely align with the biblical description of them dimensions of the Ark: Three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.

These findings reignited excitement about the biblical Noah’s Ark as they strengthened and fueled the theory that the Durupinar Formation could indeed have been part of a marine environment thousands of years ago and the location where the Ark could have landed after the flood.
