"We found black on white": Has the secret of Noah's Ark been solved?

An international team of researchers in the Noah's Ark Scans project reports findings at the ship-like site in eastern Turkey. Deep drilling conducted in collaboration with Sivas University revealed layers of black soil rich in organic material, contrary to critics' claims that it is natural rock. Final laboratory results are expected to be published in the winter.

An international team of researchers participating in the Noah's Ark Scans project reports a significant development in the investigation of the ship-like site in eastern Turkey, near Mount Ararat. Deep drilling recently conducted in collaboration with Sivas University revealed layers of black soil rich in organic material, contrary to the claims of critics and geologists over the years that it is a natural rock formation or a syncline. Andrew Jones, founder of the Noah's Ark Scans organization, emphasized that drilling in over 12 locations found no bedrock at all. According to him, as wood decomposes, increased organic material is found, and the findings match what would be expected from the remains of an ancient wooden ship. Additionally, a 2024 soil survey showed an organic material concentration three times higher inside the ship enclosure compared to samples outside it. Final laboratory results are expected to be published this coming winter.
