Archaeologists believe they are one step closer to confirming the resting place of Noah’s Ark.
The excavation team in a geological formation in Türkiye has aged They believe the rock and soil samples contain the ruins of the ark, putting the site at the same time as the Bible’s Great Flood 5,000 years ago.
The project began in 2021 and is ongoing, but preliminary analysis has determined that the samples contain clay, marine and seafood materials.
According to the researchers, these results mean the presence of human activity on Earth The boat-shaped hill was built between 5500 and 3000 BC.
A team excavating a geological formation in Turkey has found ancient rock and soil samples that they believe contain the ruins of an ark, placing the site at the same time as the Bible’s Great Flood 5,000 years ago.
In the Bible, God commanded Noah to build a huge ark, the ark, capable of saving himself and his family and representing the animals of the world.
The Bible claims that the ark came to rest on the “Ararat Mountains” in Turkey after a 150-day flood that drowned the earth and every living thing on it that was not inside the wooden ark.
the The geological formation in the Doğubayazit area of Ağrı has been considered a potential site since its discovery in 1956.
The mountain is the highest peak in Turkey, standing at 16,500 feet and carved in the shape of a coffin.
The ship was said to measure “300 cubits, 50 cubits, by 30 cubits,” meaning it was 515 feet long, 86 feet wide, and 52 feet high.
A team of experts led by Istanbul Technical University (ITÜ), Andrew University, and Ağrı Ibrahim Çesin University (Aıçü) have been working at the site for nearly a year, collecting samples that they believe hold the key to confirming the biblical story.

The first part of their work began in December 2022, when they collected 30 samples of rock fragments and soil that the ITU laboratory analyzed. In the photo, the team walks inside the formation to collect rocks and soil

“According to the first results obtained from the studies, there have been human activities in the region since the Copper Age between 5500 and 3000 BC,” said University Vice President Professor Faruk Kaya.
It is known that the flood of the Prophet Noah dates back to five thousand years ago.
“In terms of dating, it is reported that there was life in this area as well. This has been revealed in laboratory results.
“It is not possible to say that the ship is here with history.” We need to work for a long time to uncover this.
The Bible claims that the ark came to rest on the “Ararat Mountains” in Turkey after a 150-day flood that drowned the earth and every living thing on it that was not inside the wooden ark.
However, Dr. Andrew Snelling, a young Earth creationist with a Ph.D. He from the University of Sydney had previously said that Mount Ararat could not be the location of the Ark because the mountain was not formed until after the flood waters receded.
Although it is considered a historical event, most scholars and archaeologists do not believe in interpreting the story of the ark literally.
In the Bible, God commanded Noah to build a huge ark, the Ark – capable of saving himself and his family and representing the animals of the world.
He pushed man’s evil and corruption into God’s vows to send a great cleansing flood.
God considered Noah the only good man worthy of salvation, so God commanded him to build a huge ark.
According to the Bible, when Noah completed his mission, and God sent “two of every kind” of animals into the ark, the waters of the flood rose until they covered all the mountains, destroying life (except fish).
