Occasionally a scientist will make a statement that will stop most people cold. An American researcher is now asserting that they have made a once-in-a-lifetime discovery.
They assert that they might have the answer to the riddle of where Noah’s Ark’s remnants lie.
Read on to find out more.
Most people are familiar with the narrative of Noah’s Ark. According to the myth, a massive flood threatened to destroy everything on Earth, including all living things, with the exception of those who managed to escape by boarding Noah’s ship.
The Ark would have been as wide as half a football field, according to those who believe in it. According to an American researcher, they have now located the location where the ship’s remnants had been for generations.
“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,” said Andrew Jones, an independent researcher who has contributed to the study. He said ground-penetrating radar equipment helped him locate the bones in Turkey.
He collaborates with a group of individuals who, according to him, are “interested in pursuing scientific work” on the actual location.
About eighteen miles south of Mount Ararat, which is where the Bible depicts the boat’s ultimate arrival, the group began to gaze at the Eastern Turkish mountains.
The location they have identified is the Durupinar site, which seems to be a boat-shaped mount from the air. It is roughly 538 feet long, which is roughly the same length as the notorious ark reported in the Bible.
In addition to underneath layers and a 13-foot “tunnel” that wandered through the center, the radar detected “central and side corridors or hallways running through.”
According to the researchers, this structure is comparable to the one described in Genesis 6:16, where Noah was told to build “lower, second, and third decks.” It was discovered that the construction was around 20 feet below the surface.
Additionally, the researcher claims that some organic matter is growing on that particular plot of ground, supporting their theory.
Furthermore, as they argue, their theory is supported by the organic stuff that is growing on the site.
“We noticed that the grass growing within the boat-shaped formation is a different color compared to the area just outside it,” Jones said of his findings.
Tests revealed that its pH levels were lower than those of the soil outside the formation. The researchers contend that this is “consistent with rotting wood.”
Another team member, William Crabtree, states, “If you know soil science — as I am a soil scientist — you will understand that decaying organic material can influence pH, organic matter, and potassium levels.”
“We would expect to see elevated levels of potassium, changes in pH, and higher organic content — and that’s exactly what we’re finding if this was a wooden boat and the wood had rotted over time,” he continued.
Nevertheless, Jones claims that despite all of this evidence, they do not anticipate seeing anything tangible beneath the mound and that the remains are merely a “chemical imprint” of “pieces of wood and in the ground.”
“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,” Jones said in support of his theory.
In order to “give us a much clearer picture of whether this is truly something man-made,” Jones said, the team plans to conduct a drilling survey.
It might be a significant day for both science and religion if this discovery turns out to be accurate! How do you feel about the assertions made by these researchers? Tell us in the comments section below.
