Team Sends Robot into Türkiye Site Believed to Hold Noah's Ark
Researchers say radar found corridors and chambers beneath the mound, and core drilling has recovered organic material for lab testing.
- An international team led by Professor Cenker Atila began permitted deep core drilling at the Durupinar formation in eastern Türkiye on Tuesday, investigating the boat-shaped site for evidence of Noah's Ark.
- First identified in 1959, the 157-meter-long Durupinar formation has fueled decades of speculation about whether its ship-like outline is a natural geological landform or the buried remains of a wooden vessel.
- Researchers have collected soil samples from depths of 18 meters and plan to deploy a custom robotic device dubbed 'Gopher' to capture imagery from underground voids mapped by radar.
- While some team members claim the work has '100 percent confirmed' the site is man-made, no peer-reviewed studies have verified the underground features as human-built or confirmed the biblical account.
- Atila indicated that soil results and radar processing will inform a public scientific statement later this year, with additional field seasons planned for 2027 to continue the investigation.

Major Discovery at ‘Noah’s Ark’ Site
A team searching for Noah’s Ark in eastern Turkey says its drills found rich black soil instead of the solid bedrock its leader says critics expected. Andrew Jones, founder of Noah’s Ark Scans, said his team drilled at more than 12 locations within the boat-shaped Durupınar formation without encountering bedrock. The group’s next step is […]
