A research team says it has found new underground “anomalies” beneath a boat-shaped formation in eastern Turkey after conducting updated radar scans. The group interprets the readings as possible organized structures, which it says could be consistent with its long-running theory that remains associated with Noah’s Ark are buried at the site.
The claims center on the Durupinar Formation near the town of Ararat, a location that has attracted attention for decades because of the alleged resemblance to a biblical vessel. Both outlets report that the team’s new findings are based on interpretations of radar data rather than direct excavation or verification. The story remains controversial, with the broader scientific community not universally accepting the underlying premise that the feature is human-made. Instead, alternative explanations for the formation have been discussed in the past, and the radar results do not, by themselves, confirm the identity of any structure below ground.
