A mysterious, boat-shaped mound in Turkey, long thought to be Noah’s Ark, is now backed by fresh evidence — including marine deposits that suggest it was once underwater.
Soil samples from the site reveal clay-like materials and seafood remnants, suggesting a massive flood swept over the area nearly 5,000 years ago, echoing biblical accounts.
The 538-foot formation near Mount Ararat perfectly mirrors the dimensions of the ark described in Genesis, fueling theories of an ancient vessel preserved in stone.
New findings hint at human activity during the Chalcolithic period, when catastrophic floods may have struck, reinforcing the idea that the ark story may be rooted in real events.

Lying just 18 miles from Mount Ararat’s summit, where Genesis says the ark came to rest, the Durupinar formation stirs age-old questions about myth and history.
Researchers found marine deposits and seafood remnants, implying this mountain region was submerged — possibly during the very “great flood” described in ancient texts.
Although the Durupinar site was dismissed by skeptics for decades, new geological and biological evidence has revived belief among some experts that the ark might be real.

The massive formation, made of limonite and stone, could be a fossilized ark, preserved through millennia — a relic of a disaster that reshaped ancient civilizations.
While scholars debate the truth of Noah’s Ark, this discovery bridges ancient legend and modern science, suggesting humanity’s oldest flood story may hold real, geological roots.
