Archaeologists have revealed their plan to dig up the site where they believe Noah’s Ark is located after conducting numerous soil samples at the location. They believe the final resting place of the mythical giant boat is located around 18 miles south of the summit of Mount Ararat in Turkey.
The archaeologists with Noah’s Ark Scans recently explained to The Sun they have already made excavation plans at what is known as the Durupinar formation. The Durupinar site is a boat-shaped 538-foot-long geological formation that has measurements similar to those stated in the Bible for Noah’s Ark.
“The location lies in an active earth flow with harsh winters, so protecting the area is our top priority,” researcher Andrew Jones told The Sun. “Over the next few years, our Turkish university partners will conduct non-destructive tests like soil sampling, radar scans, and other methods to determine if the structures we’ve detected are truly man-made or simply natural formations. Only after we gather enough evidence and have a proper preservation plan in place will we consider excavating.”
Last year, 22 soil samples were taken at the site and were analyzed at Ataturk University in Erzurum. What the researchers found was that there was a lower pH, more potassium, and a higher volume of organic matter in the soil than had been anticipated. Changes that “are consistent with rotting wood,” the researchers said.
“We also plan to take core samples from across the formation, which should help us confirm whether the right angles and geometric patterns we see on the GPR scans are man-made structures or just natural formations,” said Jones. “So far, our results support our theories. The soil tests suggest this formation isn’t simply part of the surrounding mud flow – it’s a distinct object.”
Of course, the CIA knew all of this about Noah’s Ark decades ago as declassified documents recently revealed. Just like they knew the location of the Ark of the Covenant.
