Every now and then, a bold scientific claim emerges that stops everyone in their tracks. Today, an American researcher has announced a discovery that might just be the find of a lifetime — they believe they’ve uncovered the long-lost remains of Noah’s Ark.

Most of us know the story: a devastating flood wiped out nearly all life on Earth, except for those aboard Noah’s legendary ship. According to the Bible, the Ark was massive — roughly half the width of a football field. For centuries, the question has been: where did it end up?
Now, Andrew Jones, an independent American researcher, says he and his team may have pinpointed the Ark’s final resting place — buried for centuries beneath the mountains of Eastern Turkey. Using cutting-edge ground-penetrating radar, Jones’s team discovered a boat-shaped formation roughly 18 miles south of Mount Ararat, the very spot biblical texts identify as the Ark’s last stop.
The site, known as Durupinar, stretches about 538 feet — eerily matching the Ark’s biblical dimensions. The radar scans revealed a 13-foot tunnel running through its center, with layers beneath and corridors resembling decks, just like Noah’s multi-level vessel described in Genesis.
But the evidence doesn’t stop there. Jones points out something fascinating about the site’s vegetation: “The grass growing inside the boat-shaped formation is a different color than outside.” Tests revealed that the soil inside had a lower pH and elevated potassium levels — signs consistent with decayed wood buried underground.
William Crabtree, a soil scientist on the team, explains, “If this was a wooden boat rotting over time, we’d expect to see changes in potassium, organic matter, and pH levels — exactly what we’re finding here.”
While they don’t expect to unearth giant wooden beams or clear artifacts — only chemical imprints and traces of ancient wood — Jones insists the formation is not just a random rock or mudflow. “This looks like something man-made,” he says.
Next steps? The team hopes to conduct drilling surveys to get a clearer picture and possibly confirm this groundbreaking discovery.
If proven true, this could be one of the most extraordinary finds bridging faith and science.
