The first problem with the report is that no one involved within the team is a formal archaeologist, and therefore, their findings are based not on expertise of how to go about proving their findings but hobbyist speculation. This is not an appeal to authority, this is an appeal to the evidence and the proper means to analyze it. There is something to say for the fact that if you haven’t been trained in stratigraphy you don’t know what you don’t know. This is shown in how they’ve derived their data with the use of ground penetrating radar. GPR in archaeology is heavily limited by soil composition, environmental factors, and interpretation challenges. It works poorly in clay, silt, or waterlogged soils due to signal attenuation. The process cannot identify materials and the images presented cannot differentiate rocks, water, unusual soil formations, or plant root systems. You simply don’t know what you’re looking at with GPR alone. While the ark site has produced wood claimed to date to thousands of years ago, none of these tests meets scientific standards, and the only formal tests show the wood instead appears to belong to the 7th century AD. This discrepancy between claimed age and actual dating undermines the credibility of physical evidence. According to Genesis 8:4, Noah’s Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. But the modern site of Mount Ararat has only been called that since the 13th century, whereas early Christian and Jewish tradition instead pointed to Mount Qardu (now called Jabal Judi). The broader issue is that the precise location of Ararat remains unknown, making any specific claim about physical remains inherently speculative. Without independent archaeological corroboration and reliable dating methods, sites like Durupınar cannot be definitively established as authentic ark remains. The boat-like physical formation isn’t even an unusual feature on modern Ararat and many of these almond shaped convex structure can be found in the region. “It looks like a boat to me” just doesn’t amount to real evidence. Also, I am aware this is the site Ron Wyatt was reporting as the Ark decades ago. Believe me, I watched more than I should have from his VHS series in the 90s and ‘00s. I’m going to be as kind as I possibly can with this one: with as much respect as I can muster, Ron Wyatt was not an archaeologist, Ron Wyatt was a conman.

So this whole Noah’s Ark discovery… yah it’s not legit. If we could deal with reality for just a moment and suspend what a lot of people *want* to be true rather than what is true — pretty much everything about the facts coming out of this story are embroiled in sensationalism and non-credible archeology. I believe there was a Noah and an Ark. But the formation in the Anatolian Mountains is almost certainly not the remains of that.

@noahsarkscans @WesleyLHuff Mount Lubar is identified in the second-century BCE apocryphal Book of Jubilees as the specific peak within the "mountains of Ararat". Noah planted his first vineyard on Mount Lubar, and was buried there. His son Shem built a city close to his father on the same mountain.

Hello Wes! It appears you are coping by compiling bad information and incorrect information and attributing it to our work at Noah’s Ark Scans. -We have never claimed to have found wood “from thousands of years ago” our soil samples confirmed high levels of organic matter and potassium, 100% consistent with decomposed lumber. -The GPR scans prove this is not just a “geological anomaly.” Our scans revealed a 250 ft corridor, chambers, perfect right angles, and even a possible atrium beneath the soil. -LiDAR scans of the site show its length is the exact length Genesis 6:15 states the Ark was, 300 cubits -You are mistaken when referring to the site in SE Turkey, down by the Iraq border known as “Cudi Dagi”. The Bible said the Ark landed in the "Mountains" of Ararat (Urartu). Which is: A region of an ancient kingdom covering this area including the Durupinar site. Mount Ararat itself is a post-flood stratovolcano- which we have never claimed the Ark to be there, but 19 miles south. - We are independent team completely unaffiliated with Ron Wyatt, so to attribute his research to ours is also misguided.

@noahsarkscans @WesleyLHuff Plus this: Josephus identified Baris as the specific mountain where the Ark came to rest, located within the BROADER REGION known as Gordyene, an area situated in what is now southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq, what was southern Armenia before the fall of the Ottoman empire.

@WesleyLHuff Thanks for your "kind attack" on Ron. It was all the proof of your motives I needed. One of the most persecuted Christians by Christians I have seen in my lifetime. x.com/jsisco26/statu…
Sisco@jsisco26

@RealDonKeith The late Ron Wyatt, an amateur archaeologist, popularized the Durupınar Formation in eastern Turkey as the possible resting place of Noah’s Ark back in the late 1970s and endured merciless mocking for the remainder of his life. June 2, 1933 – August 4, 1999

Dr. Salih Bayraktutan, retired professor of geology from Igdir University's Geotechnical Engineering Department in Turkey isn’t a geologist? I met him in Turkey in August and he went over the new data. He believes the site is a credible candidate and he’s studied it more than almost anyone.

First, the site has a name and a history, and both should give you pause. The location is called Durupınar, in eastern Turkey. It was popularized in the 1970s by an amateur explorer named Ron Wyatt — the same man who claimed to have discovered the Ark of the Covenant beneath Jerusalem, the chariot wheels of Pharaoh’s army in the Red Sea, and the literal blood of Jesus Christ dripped from the cross onto the Mercy Seat. Wyatt had no archaeological training. No excavation experience. No peer-reviewed publications. None. His claims have been rejected by every credentialed archaeologist — Christian and secular alike — who has examined them.

@_jeremiahj @WesleyLHuff 🤔You should consider writing a book on the Durupınar site. Remember how you rejected the Shroud of Turin until you decided to write a best-selling book?

I understand the excitement. I really do. I have spent my career as a New Testament scholar tracing the archaeological footprints of the Bible — from the Shroud of Turin in Italy to the Pilate Stone in Caesarea Maritima to the Dead Sea Scrolls in the Shrine of the Book. I *want* the Ark to be found. Every Christian does. But this isn’t it. It has never been it. And every time we share these stories before verifying them, we hand our skeptical neighbors a loaded weapon to use against the faith.

@WesleyLHuff The rejection comes from the "established narrative". It's no different than how the folks dug into their TRADITIONS continue to reject the mountain of Moses being in Saudi Arabia not the traditional Egypt.🤷‍♂️

@MKnowlesShow I wasn't convinced of the Durupınar site being the site of Noah's Ark but what I am now convinced of is that "the doc doth protest too much, methinks", which only nudges me closer to thinking that the Durupınar site may be the real deal. 🤷‍♂️

@CryptidPolitics No credible reports or evidence suggest that Donalds has an open marriage agreement with his wife, Erika Donalds. The recent attention surrounding the couple stems from revelations about the timing of their relationship, not the nature of their current marital agreement.

Ron DeSantis was right about Byron Donalds: “He just hasn't been a part of any of the victories that we've had here over the left over these last years.” It was just reported Donalds may have an open marriage agreement with his wife. 👀

@joekent16jan19 That's your forgone conclusion. Many freedom loving Iranians hate the IRGC and want regime change and if they rise up by the millions, the U.S. and Israel will assist them. That will become Trump's objective if it isn't already.

Interesting that Jay Collins is name-dropping DeSantis right now even though DeSantis won’t endorse him or share a stage with him. Does DeSantis still believe Collins is “day one ready”? He avoids Collins like The Plague.
