🚨 Noah’s Ark update from Mount Ararat
2026 research at the Durupınar Formation is complete.
Prof. Dr. Cenker Atila’s team found possible pre-Flood pottery, radar voids that look like corridors, and elevated organic material inside.
No full dig yet — just radar, mapping & core samples. ~1,000 soil samples are now in Ankara labs.
Winter results will reveal if it’s a ship (wood + carbon dating). Major excavation only if the data supports it.

What a year for the Noah’s Ark Scans team! From groundbreaking radar scans and soil sampling to core drilling at the site, none of this would have been possible without your support.
Despite threats, opposition, and countless obstacles, God continued to open doors and make a way forward. The story has now reached millions around the world, and the evidence continues to draw international attention.
To everyone who prayed, donated, volunteered, and stood beside us through it all: THANK YOU. We couldn’t have done this without you, and we’re just getting started!
BREAKING: Wood sent for lab testing from Noah’s Ark Durupinar Site.
We’re excited to finally share this official update from the lead archeological professor Dr. Cenker Atila:
Multiple pieces of wood have been recovered from the Noah’s Ark Durupinar Site and are now in the lab for carbon-14 dating.
The wood is damaged and charred. This could be from an attempt to set fire to the ark at some point in history, or from volcanic activity in the area long ago.
While the depth at which it was recovered indicates it is very old, Dr. Cenker is clear: this is not proof that it is Noah’s Ark until the carbon-14 results are in.
One interesting note: charred wood decomposes far more slowly than uncharred wood, especially when buried in soil.
Wood has officially entered the conversation.
More details and images coming in the days ahead. Stay tuned.

“This is the most significant finding in my 40 year career, I have never seen anything like this…and it’s not geological, because we masked all the geological features. ”
-Dr. Khrosrow Bakhtar PHD describing the results of his preliminary report after leading the subsurface survey at the Noah’s Ark Site.
With over 40 years in rock mechanics and defense tech, Dr. Bakhtar has led over 25 major U.S. Department of Defense projects for agencies like the Air Force, Navy, and DTRA. He has authored over 200 technical papers and developed advanced imaging systems like BakhtarRadar and Forced-Resonance Imaging (FRI) for detecting underground structures.
In short: America’s top rock expert says the Durupinar Formation is not a natural rock formation, and that an “extraordinary structure” lies beneath the surface.
What theory and excuses will our opposition come up with next?
U.S. defense scientist and rock mechanics expert Dr. Khosrow Bakhtar is drawing attention to intriguing radar findings beneath the Durupınar formation in eastern Turkey—a site long believed by some researchers to be the possible remains of Noah’s Ark.
With decades of experience in rock mechanics and subsurface analysis, Dr. Bakhtar has described the findings as potentially among the most significant of his career.
The radar surveys have reportedly identified unusual subsurface features that researchers are continuing to investigate.
Could these discoveries help solve one of the greatest mysteries in biblical archaeology?
The evidence is still being examined, and further investigation is needed to determine what these structures actually represent.
Could we be closer than ever to uncovering the truth about Noah’s Ark?
👇 What do you think?
In October 2019, Noah’s Ark Scans conducted a major ground-penetrating radar survey of the Durupınar formation, filmed in part by the Science Channel with both 100 MHz and 250 MHz antennas.
American geophysicist Dr. Dan Bigman of Bigman Geophysical in Georgia first processed the data and identified right-angles, linear features, and other anomalies several meters down.
Andrew Jones later sent the raw data to an independent American geophysicist with 30 years of experience who ran her own company and had no connection to the project.
She reviewed the data over a period of six months. In 2023 she shared her findings, asked if we had dug a tunnel beneath the formation (we did not), and found a massive hallway-like tunnel roughly 4 meters down running through the dead center of the formation, along with voids, corridors, chambers, a larger central cavity, and parallel linear patterns.
In 2026, Dr. Khrosrow Bakhtar and BakhtarRadar confirmed this same massive tunnel that runs dead center through the formation, with organized patterns, corridors, and 3 layers. He said the structure beneath the surface was “extraordinary”
Every day the evidence leads us closer and closer to Noah’s Ark. Help us see this mission to completion with third party lab testing. If you can’t support financially, please leave a prayer on our prayer board in the Donation link below. We read every single one.

Noah’s Ark Symposium Day 1 was a huge success.
Project Director and archeological professor Dr. Cenker Atila presented defense scientist Dr. Khrosrow Bakhtar’s preliminary results to Turkish officials and to others in attendance as the room filled with awe and discussions between one another as he laid out his initial findings at the Durupinar Formation.
After, Noah’s Ark Scan’s founder, Andrew Jones, was honored and presented with an award.
After dedicating 30 years of his life to studying Noah’s Ark, finally, the fruits of Andrew’s labors will soon be shared with the world.
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us along the way. As soon as everything is verified by the experts, the 2026 results will be shared with the world.
I believe it's very plausible that the Durupinar Formation in Turkey could actually be Noah's Ark.
The evidence makes a strong case, and they haven't even finished the investigation.
1. The formation size matches the Bible. The formation is about 515 feet long, the same length the Bible gives for Noah’s Ark (300 cubits).
2. It literally looks like a giant boat. Not only does it have a clear boat shape (which couldn't be formed by geological forces the way it's shaped), but it also sits in the mountains of Ararat, exactly where the Bible says the Ark landed.
3. Advanced radar scans show a clearly organized structure underneath. The advanced radar they're using has never been used here before, and it ignores ordinary rock. Scans show shows straight lines, right angles, corridors, and open spaces deep inside - patterns that are clearly designed, not random geology.
4. It’s not solid rock and has organic material all around it. Soil samples from inside have much more organic content than the dirt outside, which is consistent with decayed wood. Drilling shows the formation isn’t just one solid rock mass, but has rooms & corridors throughout - exactly what we would expect from the Ark.
These are strong evidences that suggest this formation is not a natural rock formation, but more plausible the ancient remains of a giant wooden ship.
We live in an incredible time for Christianity.
Every year more discoveries prove the Bible's historical truth. Skeptics expect to find more data contradicting the Bible - but we actually find the opposite.
The more we uncover, the more confirmation we find that the Bible is Truly the Word of God.
Something weird is happening in Turkey.
For decades, people have claimed this enormous boat-shaped formation near Mount Ararat could actually be the remains of Noah’s Ark.
Most scientists dismissed it as a natural geological formation.
But recently, researchers scanned beneath it. And they say they detected strange linear and angular features underground.
Now, that does not mean they found a buried ship. Radar can pick up completely natural geological structures.
But this is where it gets interesting.
In 2026, an officially authorised research project involving Turkish academics and with the approval of the Turkish government began investigating the site.
And they've now drilled into it.
Physical samples have been taken from beneath the formation and sent for analysis.
If they find ordinary rock and sediment, this could finally settle the mystery.
But if they find ancient worked timber, artificial material, or evidence that those underground structures really are man-made...
Then we have a much bigger question.
Because even though that wouldn't prove this is Noah's Ark, it would mean something is buried underneath it.
And that could change history
The results should be published later this year - keep an eye out
🚨 THIS JUST HAPPENED 🚨
A full 3D scale model of the Ark — built from actual GPR data on site — is complete.
Not CGI. Not an artist’s guess.
This is the real data you can now walk around and see.
The shape. The scale. The way it sits in the ground.
History just got harder to ignore.

515 feet long, stretching across the mountains of eastern Turkey.
From above, the sheer size of the Durupınar formation is incredible to see.
Its unmistakable boat-like shape has drawn attention for decades, particularly because its length matches the biblical dimensions of Noah’s Ark.
And now, right there on the formation, you can see something that marks a major milestone in this investigation.
The core drill.
For the first time, our team is drilling beneath the surface, collecting material from deep within the formation to be examined in laboratories.
After decades of studying what we can see from above, we're finally investigating what's below.
This is a remarkable moment in the search for Noah’s Ark.
They called it just a rock for decades.
New radar, soil samples & deep drilling say otherwise.
515 ft long — exact match for Genesis’ 300 cubits.
Anomalies that look like chambers & corridors.
In the mountains of Ararat.
Could this be Noah’s Ark?
