Researcher Claims New Evidence Supports Noah’s Ark Remains

Andrew Jones, a researcher with Noah’s Ark Scans, has presented new data supporting his belief that the remains of Noah’s Ark may lie buried in Turkey. Appearing on “Fox & Friends,” he discussed findings from the Durupinar site, a location under study since the 1950s.

According to Jones, recent soil analysis at Durupinar suggests the presence of decayed organic material. This data contrasts with the long-standing view of some geologists who consider the site’s formation to be natural. A 1996 paper in the Journal of Geoscience Education supported this natural formation theory.

The soil analysis indicated that organic matter inside the boat-like structure was three times more prevalent than in the surrounding soil.

Jones argues that the organic matter concentration implies a “massive concentration of decayed carbon-based material,” which could include wood, resin, or animal remains. He noted that potassium levels inside the formation were significantly higher, suggesting wood ash remnants, and the pH level showed an eightfold difference from the surrounding soil.

Further analysis and testing are needed to substantiate these claims. Jones urged Turkish scientists to conduct core drilling and advanced 3-D mapping to gather more evidence. He emphasized that the subterranean features identified by scans have led his team to explore “tunnels about four meters down and two meters high” within the formation.

New findings from this site are likely to fuel ongoing debates about the nature of the Durupinar formation. Researchers have moved from the question of its appearance to investigating why the site exhibits a complex structure aligned with biblical descriptions of Noah’s Ark.
