American researchers recently made a discovery to map the potential remains of Noah's Ark, potentially proving the Biblical story to be correct.
“It is exactly what you’d expect to find if this were a man-made boat, consistent with the biblical specifications of Noah’s Ark,” said Andrew Jones, an independent researcher, while revealing the groundbreaking results on the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), while revealing the groundbreaking results of his multi-year project.
Jones works with Noah's Ark Scans, which he said is a “loose organization of individuals interested in pursuing scientific work and promoting” the site of the famous ark in the Biblical tale.
The team attempted to solve whether the vessel was buried in the mountains of eastern Turkey, located about 18 miles south of Mount Ararat, which is said to be the boat's final resting place in the Bible. The exact spot is the Durupinar site, which is a 538-foot, boat-shaped mound described in the Book of Genesis as having saved humanity and animals from a catastrophic flood that occurred more than 4,300 years ago.
The concept of the mound housing a life-raft, which is an object central to Christianity, Judaism and Islam, has been debated, however, recent scans made by Jones using ground-penetrating radar prove it could've been the case. The radar showed what appeared to be a 13-foot tunnel traversing the center of the formation and captured three subterranean layers that perfectly aligned with the Bible's description of the boat's three decks.
New analysis of the radar data allegedly revealed “central and side corridors or hallways running through the boat," though, Jones said he didn't expect to find anything "fully preserved" given the age of the ship and added that the findings showed a “chemical imprint, pieces of wood and in the ground, the shape of a hall."
