A find of biblical proportions<\/h2>\n

Scientists claim they’ve found the exact spot of Noah’s Ark site in unprecedented radar scans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The story of Noah’s Ark comes to life in the\u00a0Bible’s<\/a>\u00a0Book of Genesis, during which there’s a ginormous\u00a0flood<\/a>\u00a0that threatens to wipe out the world and all living creatures, aside from those spared on Noah’s large homemade ship.<\/p>\n

Believers of the Ark guestimate it would’ve spanned the equivalent of one and a half\u00a0football<\/a>\u00a0fields in length, so God only knows (literally) how Noah managed to cram a pair of every animal species on\u00a0Earth<\/a>\u00a0in there.<\/p>\n

Now, however,\u00a0American<\/a>\u00a0researchers claim to have cracked the code of the mystery, after ground-penetrating radar\u00a0technology<\/a>\u00a0unearthed the possible remains of the Ark embedded in the ground in Turkey.<\/p>\n

Speaking<\/a>\u00a0to the Christian Broadcasting Network, Andrew Jones, an independent researcher who worked on the project, said: “It is exactly what you\u2019d expect to find if this were a man-made boat, consistent with the biblical specifications of Noah\u2019s Ark.”<\/p>\n

Jones and his team work with Noah’s Ark Scans, which he said is a ‘loose organization’ of people ‘interested in pursuing scientific work’ on the ark’s site.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0scientists<\/a>\u00a0began scanning the\u00a0mountains<\/a>\u00a0of eastern Turkey, roughly 18 miles south of Mount Ararat, which makes sense as this is where the Bible pinpoints the boat’s end point, when they made the eureka discovery.<\/p>\n

The specific spot is actually the Durupinar site, which not only looks like a boat-shaped mound but measures up 538 feet long – the same dimensions of the infamous ark that saved humanity and the\u00a0animal<\/a>\u00a0kingdom some 4,300 years ago,\u00a0reports<\/a>\u00a0New York Post.<\/p>\n

The radar appeared to pick-up a 13-foot ‘tunnel’ roaming through the center of the structure, the Daily Mail\u00a0added<\/a>, as well as subterranean layers plus ‘central and side corridors or hallways running through.’<\/p>\n

The team thinks this corroborates with the Book of Genesis 6:16 which revealed Noah was instructed to make ‘lower, second and third decks’.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, angular structures some 20 feet below the surface were also discovered, which the team ponder could’ve been the quarters beneath the deck.<\/p>\n

And that’s not all, as they say even the organic matter growing on the site lends to their theory.<\/p>\n

Jones said: “We noticed that the grass growing within the boat-shaped formation is a different color compared to the area just outside it.”<\/p>\n

Once tested, they found it had lower pH levels than the soil just beyond the formation, which they say is ‘consistent with rotting wood’ and indicates a human touch.<\/p>\n

William Crabtree, another member of Noah\u2019s Ark Scans, commented: “If you know soil science \u2014 as I\u2019m a soil scientist \u2014 you\u2019ll understand that potassium levels, organic matter, and pH can all be influenced by decaying organic material.<\/p>\n

“If this was a wooden boat and the wood had rotted over time, we would expect to see elevated levels of potassium, changes in pH, and higher organic content \u2014 and that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re finding.”<\/p>\n

Yet despite its apparent preservation, Jones doesn’t expect to find anything concrete beneath the grassy and mountainous terrain, claiming that the remains only serve as a ‘chemical imprint’ of ‘pieces of wood and in the ground’.<\/p>\n

Still, Jones surmised: “This is not what you\u2019d expect to see if the site were simply a solid block of rock or the result of random mudflow debris,” instead saying he believed it squared up with the Biblical description of the legendary vessel.<\/p>\n

Next, the team say they want to carry out a core drilling survey to ‘give us a much clearer picture of whether this is truly something man-made,’ Jones added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
