Scientists Say They’ve Pinpointed Noah’s Ark’s Exact Location With Stunning New Scans

Published on May 15, 2025

Using previously unheard-of radar scans, scientists say they have pinpointed the precise location of Noah’s Ark.

The Bible’s Book of Genesis, which describes a massive flood that threatens to destroy the entire planet and all living things except for those who are spared on Noah’s enormous homemade ship, brings the story of Noah’s Ark to life.

God only knows (literally) how Noah was able to fit two of every animal species on Earth into the Ark, which is estimated by Ark believers to have been the length of one and a half football fields.

However, after ground-penetrating radar equipment discovered the potential remains of the Ark imbedded in the ground in Turkey, American researchers say they have finally solved the puzzle.

Independent researcher Andrew Jones, who worked on the project, told the Christian Broadcasting Network: “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.”

Jones and his group collaborate with Noah’s Ark Scans, a “loose organisation” of individuals “interested in pursuing scientific work” on the location of the ark, according to Jones.

When the scientists made the breakthrough discovery, they started looking at the highlands in eastern Turkey, some eighteen miles south of Mount Ararat, which makes sense because the Bible indicates that this is where the boat ends.

According to the New York Post, the location is actually the Durupinar site, which is 538 feet long and resembles a boat-shaped mound. These measurements are identical to those of the famed ark that saved humanity and the animal kingdom approximately 4,300 years ago.

According to the Daily Mail, the radar seemed to detect a 13-foot “tunnel” that was moving through the middle of the building, in addition to below layers and “central and side corridors or hallways running through.”

The group believes that this is consistent with Genesis 6:16, which states that Noah was told to build “lower, second, and third decks.”

Curiously, the researchers also found angular buildings around 20 feet below the surface, which they speculate might have been the quarters beneath the deck.

Furthermore, they claim that their theory is supported by the organic stuff that is growing on the site.

Jones stated, “We noticed that the grass growing within the boat-shaped formation is a different colour compared to the area just outside it.”

After testing, they discovered that its pH levels were lower than those of the soil immediately outside the formation, which they claim is “consistent with rotting wood” and suggests a human touch.

Another Noah’s Ark Scans participant, William Crabtree, made the following observation: “If you understand soil chemistry, as I do, you’ll realise that decomposing organic matter can affect pH, organic matter, and potassium levels.”

“If this was a wooden boat and the wood had rotted over time, we would expect to see elevated levels of potassium, changes in pH, and higher organic content — and that’s exactly what we’re finding.”

Jones asserts that the remains simply act as a “chemical imprint” of “pieces of wood and in the ground,” despite their apparent preservation, and that he does not anticipate discovering anything tangible beneath the grassy and rocky environment.

Still, Jones surmised: “This is not what you’d expect to see if the site were simply a solid block of rock or the result of random mudflow debris,” instead saying he believed it squared up with the Biblical description of the legendary vessel.

To “give us a much clearer picture of whether this is truly something man-made,” Jones continued, the team then stated that they would like to do a core drilling survey.
