‘Noah’s Ark’ site in Turkey shows evidence of human activity dating back to biblical era

One doesn’t need to be religious to recognize the well-known biblical tale of Noah and his ark, who preserved pairs of every animal species from the flood. Noah’s story shares many similarities with those of ancient neighboring civilizations, which also included themes of a global flood sent by divine forces for different purposes.

Over the years, there have been many debates and attempts to interpret the story of the animals preserved from the floods and the man who saved them, and recently, in an extraordinary find with potential biblical implications, researchers have been exploring the enigmatic location that could be Noah’s Ark in the eastern mountains of Turkey.

This discovery made people wonder if the age-old legend would finally be unlocked.

The legend about Noah and his ark crosses cultural boundaries, holding significance in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. However, validating its authenticity has posed an ongoing challenge for scientists.

The first study on the before-mentioned location in Turkey was done in December 2022 under a project carried by three Turkish and American universities known as Mount Ararat and Noah’s Ark Research Team. Situated in the Doğubayazıt district of Ağrı, Turkey, the Durupinar formation has captivated attention since its unearthing in 1956.

Analysis of rock and soil samples taken from the site show that they date back to between 3500 and 5000 years ago, corresponding to 3000 B.C., a timeframe aligning with the biblical narrative of the Great Flood.
