Scientists claim to have found Noah’s Ark
According to the Bible, Noah’s Ark saved humanity and all the animals from certain annihilation during an ancient flood.
Now, 5,000 years after those floodwaters supposedly receded, scientists claim to have discovered the location of the famous boat.
An international team of researchers claims that a boat-shaped mound 18 miles (30km) south of Mount Ararat in Turkey is actually the fossilized remains of a wooden vessel.
The Durupinar Formation is a 163-metre (538ft) geological structure made of a type of iron ore called limonite.
It has long captivated researchers due to the fact that its shape and structure almost match those given for the Ark in the Bible.
New evidence shows that the mound really did experience a devastating flood 5,000 years ago.
This supports the biblical account of a flood covering the region between 3000 and 5500 BC.
‘Our studies show that this region harboured life in that period and that, at some point, it was covered by water, which reinforces the possibility that a catastrophic event of great magnitude occurred,’ the researchers said.
