New research by a team of archaeologists and scientists on the Durupinar formation has captured the attention of those who believe the ship is buried underneath the spot in eastern Turkey.
Named the ‘Mount Ararat and Noah’s Ark Research Team,’ scientists used new technology to analyse if the soil has traces of human activity.
The samples gathered were dated as between 3500 and 5000 years old, which seems to match the biblical timeline of the flood.
Scientists also found marine materials in the soil, suggesting it may have been the resting place of Noah’s Ark, or at least used to be submerged in deep water.
The Bible claims the ark settled on the ‘mountains of Ararat’ in Turkey following a 150-day flood that drowned the Earth and every living thing on it that was not housed inside the wooden ship.

The geological formation located in Doğubayazıt district of Ağrı has been a potential site since it was discovered in 1956.
The mountain is the highest peak in Turkey, standing 16,500 feet tall and carved out like an ark would be.
The vessel was said to measure ‘300 cubits, 50 cubits, by 30 cubits’, which translates to up to 515 feet long, 86 feet wide and 52 feet high.
Satellite imagery of the Durupinar formation seems to show the dimensions of the biblical vessel.
A team of experts led by Istanbul Technical University (İTÜ), Andrew University, and Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University (AİÇÜ) have been working at the site, collecting samples they believe hold the key to confirming the Biblical story.
Although considered a historical event, most scholars and archaeologists do not believe in literally interpreting the Ark story.
In the Bible, God commands Noah to build a vast ship, the ark – capable of saving himself, his family and a representation of the world’s animals.
The wickedness and corruption of man spurred God’s vows to send a great cleansing flood.
Deeming Noah to be the only righteous man worth saving, God commands him to build a vast ship.

According to the Bible, when Noah had completed his task, and God sent ‘two of every sort’ of animal to the Ark, the flood waters rose until all mountains were covered, and life (except fish) was destroyed.
