(OPINION) A giant shape claimed to match the Biblical description of Noah’s Ark has been found by researchers using 3D scans. Biblical archaeologists used ground-penetrating radar to study the boat-like formation on Mount Tendürek which has long been rumored to be the location of the legendary vessel from the Book of Genesis.
US and Turkish investigators have boasted the initial scans are promising and suggest a manmade object heading beneath the mountain – and they remain hopeful it may be the Ark. Creationists have long claimed that Noah’s legendary ship is real and was buried beneath the rocky spot, known as the Durupınar, in the east of Turkey.
Geologists on the other hand claim the mountainous lump, which was discovered half a century ago, in eastern Turkey is simply an unusual rock formation. But the team led by long-time ark hunter Andrew Jones believes they have images of what resembles Noah’s Ark.
The ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys were conducted at the site by the Oregon-based Topa 3D – who were surprised at the results. Mr. Jones told Sun Online: “This is not what you would expect to see if this site is just a solid block of rock or an accumulation of random debris from a mudflow. “But these results are what you would expect to see if this is a man-made boat matching the Biblical requirements of Noah’s Ark.” FULL STORY
