A team of archaeologists and scientists has discovered a boat-shaped mound in eastern Turkey that closely resembles the biblical description of Noah's Ark. The formation, known as the Durupinar formation, was first discovered in 1948 but was not analyzed until 2021. Scientists collected soil and rock samples from the site and found that they were between 3,500 and 5,000 years old, coinciding with the biblical timeline of Noah's flood. The presence of clay-like substances and marine materials within the soil suggests that the formation may have been part of a marine environment thousands of years ago. While some experts remain skeptical, advanced scientific techniques offer new opportunities to test ancient sites for signs of human activity.
