New tunnel findings in present-day Turkey fuel Noah’s Ark mystery

High in the mountains of present-day Turkey, a mysterious geological formation sits that some researchers believe could be the remains of Noah’s Ark, the Daily Mail writes.

According to the Bible, the massive vessel saved humanity and every kind of animal from annihilation during a catastrophic flood.

Now, a team of American researchers working at the Durupınar Formation near Mount Ararat has uncovered evidence of hidden tunnels as described in the biblical account.

Andrew Jones, an independent researcher with Noah’s Ark Scans, used ground-penetrating radar to uncover a network of ‘corridors’ converging on a hollow central chamber he dubbed the atrium.

Jones linked the discovery to the Bible’s description of the Ark, which states the boat contained three internal levels built to shelter Noah, his family and pairs of animals.

He added further studies using infrared thermography (IRT), a heat-sensing technology that can uncover hidden structures underground, have also suggested the presence of a ship-shaped hull buried deep in the soil.

Located just 18 miles south of Mount Ararat, Turkey’s highest peak, the Durupınar Formation has only been known to the modern world for less than a century.

According to local reports, heavy rains and earthquakes in May 1948 washed away the surrounding mud, revealing the mysterious formation. It was then discovered by a Kurdish shepherd.
