Noah's Ark researchers ‘inching towards’ confirmation after drilling challenges natural-rock theory
Researchers investigating a boat-shaped formation in eastern Turkey, believed to be the site of Noah's Ark, have drilled 60 feet beneath the surface, collecting hundreds of soil samples. The team, who have been probing the Durupınar site, say their findings are strengthening the case that the site could hold the remains of Noah's Ark. The drilling has challenged the natural-rock theory, with soil samples now undergoing laboratory analysis.

Noah's Ark Researchers Near Confirmation After Drilling
Researchers investigating a boat-shaped formation in eastern Turkey, believed to be the site of Noah's Ark, have drilled 60 feet beneath the surface, collecting hundreds of soil samples. The team, who have been probing the Durupınar site, say their findings are strengthening the case that the site could hold the remains of Noah's Ark. The drilling has challenged the natural-rock theory, with soil samples now undergoing laboratory analysis.
Why it matters
The search for Noah's Ark has been ongoing for decades, with the Durupınar site being a prime location of interest. The site, a 538-foot boat-shaped feature near Mount Ararat, was first publicized in 1959. Researchers are seeking confirmation of the site's significance, which could provide evidence for the biblical account of the flood.
What is confirmed
- Researchers have drilled over 60 feet beneath the Durupınar site in Turkey.
- The drilling has challenged the natural-rock theory of the site's formation.
- Soil samples collected are now undergoing laboratory analysis.
Still unconfirmed
- The site may contain 'underground corridors'.
- Black soil with potentially rich organic matter was found.
