Every once and a while, a scientist will make a claim that will stop most people in their tracks. Now, an American researcher is claiming to have discovered of a lifetime.

They are claiming they may have solved the mystery of where the remains of Noah’s Ark are.

The story of Noah’s Ark is well-known to most people. The story goes that a great flood threatened to wipe out the entire world, including all living creatures, except those that survived the flood by going aboard Noah’s ship.

Those who believe in the Ark think it would have been as wide as half a football field. And now, an American researcher is saying they have found where the ship’s remains have languished for centuries.

Andrew Jones, an independent researcher who has worked on the project, has shared, “It is exactly what you’d expect to find if this were a man-made boat, consistent with the biblical specifications of Noah’s Ark.” He claims to have found the remains in Turkey thanks to ground-penetrating radar technology.

He works with a team of people who he said are ‘interested in pursuing scientific work’ on the site itself.

The group started to look at the mountains in Eastern Turkey, roughly 18 miles south of Mount Ararat, which is where the Bible shows the boat’s final destination.

The spot they have pinpointed is the Durupinar site which from an aerial view looks like a boat-shaped mount. It measures about 538 feet in length – which is about the likely dimensions of the infamous ark found mentioned in the Bible.

The radar picked up a 13-foot ‘tunnel’ roaming through the center as well as subterranean layers, plus ‘central and side corridors or hallways running through.’

The team thinks this is similar to the structure revealed in the Book of Genesis 6:16 where Noah was instructed to make ‘lower, second, and third decks’. The structure revealed to have some 20 feet below the surface.

And according to the researcher, there is some organic matter that is growing on that specific piece of land which further helps their theory.

And that’s not all, as they say, even the organic matter growing on the site lends to their theory.

Jones shared his observation, “We noticed that the grass growing within the boat-shaped formation is a different color compared to the area just outside it.”

When they ran tests, they saw that it had lower pH levels than the soil that lies beyond the formation. This, the researchers argue, is ‘consistent with rotting wood’

William Crabtree, another person of the team says, “If you know soil science — as I’m a soil scientist — you’ll understand that potassium levels, organic matter, and pH can all be influenced by decaying organic material.”

He further added, “If this was a wooden boat and the wood had rotted over time, we would expect to see elevated levels of potassium, changes in pH, and higher organic content — and that’s exactly what we’re finding.”

However, despite all of this evidence, Jones says they do not expect to find something concrete beneath the mound, saying the remains are only a ‘chemical imprint’ of ‘pieces of wood and in the ground’.

Jones supported his theory by saying, “This is not what you’d expect to see if the site were simply a solid block of rock or the result of random mudflow debris.”

The team wants to carry out a drilling survey to ‘give us a much clearer picture of whether this is truly something man-made,’ according to Jones.

If this discovery is proven to be true, it could be a big day for both science and religion! What do you think of these researchers’ claims? Let us know in the comments below.
