In 1959, a cartographer named Ilhan Durupinar discovered a boat-shaped footprint on the top of a mountain in the Dogubayazit region in Turkey. Now, American researchers and Turkish scientists from the project that discovered Noah’s Ark claim they have evidence that biblical remains lie beneath Durupinar’s surface.
Using 3D scans of GPR and ERT technology, the researchers claim they uncovered a man-made boat structure beneath the ground before they began digging. According to the team, the formation identified in the scan matches the dimensions of the Genesis description of Noah’s Ark.

Researcher Andrew Jones of the Department of Applied Geophysics of the University of Istanbul’s Department of Geophysical Engineering and lead scientist Dr. Fethi Ahmet Yuksel believes the scan results indicate a man-made artifact beneath the surface that may well be the Ark, and is eager to continue studying the location.
“New GPR data shows parallel lines and angular structures 8 to 20 feet down,” the team claimed on its project website. “These parallel lines and right angles beneath the surface are something you wouldn’t expect to see in a natural, geologic structure.”

Even after the original discovery was considered superficial and a natural phenomenon, some people never gave up on the belief that the original ark lay beneath its surface. Perhaps the findings of Noah’s Ark scans, using technology that was not present during previous campaigns, may influence decisions about a thorough investigation of the site that could potentially hide one of history’s most important relics.
