A Turkish expert searching for Noah’s Ark insists he has managed to photograph the mysterious underground mass.
Fox News, citing Turkish media, reports that scientists have confirmed they were able to photograph a boat-shaped underground mass discovered half a century ago in eastern Turkey.
Earlier, scientists maintained that Noah’s Ark was buried beneath a rocky site known as Durupinar. However, geologists consider it to be simply a rock formation.
According to the Anadolu agency, the filming team, led by ark hunter Cem Sertesen, insists it has obtained an image.
The team announced that it will show the photographs in a future documentary about the ark, which were obtained “by sending electrical signals underground through cables.”
Durupinar is a popular destination for many searches. It is a large structure on Mount Tendürek in eastern Turkey.
A 3D scan could prove once and for all whether Durupinar is the place where the ark lies. The image was obtained thanks to computer architect and archaeologist Andrew Jones, as well as geophysicist John Larsen.
Jones and Larsen reported their findings to Sertesen, who is the director of the 2017 documentary “Noah’s Ark.” Sertesen admitted that the photograph may not show the ark, but something else.
“It is a boat, but it is too early to call it Noah’s Ark,” he said.
The site was first photographed in 1959 by captain and experienced cartographer Ilhan Durupinar. The first scientific investigation came only 26 years later, and researchers concluded that “it is possible that this underground mass is a boat.”
