)from article) New developments in the search for Noah’s Ark have experts confident that we will soon have definitive proof that Noah’s Ark is buried in Turkey.
In 1959, expert cartographer Captain İlhan Durupınar discovered an irregular formation in the mountains of Eastern Turkey that resembles a massive ship. For 60 years experts and the faithful have theorized that this is the famed spot of the landing of Noah’s Ark, a notion that has sparked debate in both scientific and religious communities.
In 2017, filmmaker Cem Sertesen released the documentary Noah’s Ark, which brought together 22 years of research into the area where many believe the great biblical vessel rests. Now, Sertesen is preparing a sequel, Noah’s Ark-2, which will focus on new developments in the investigation of this secluded mountain range.
Recently, computer engineer and archaeologist Andrew Jones and geophysicist John Larsen have made a study of the location, utilizing 3D imaging technology to scan under the ground.
While the images have yet to be released — as they will be with the release of the second documentary — the parties involved seem to be convinced that we are closer than ever to realizing this piece of our cultural history.

The Hurriyet Daily News reports that Sertesen said:
“These are the actual images of the Noah’s Ark. They are neither fake nor simulation. They show the entire ship buried underground.” Sertesen added, “It’s a ship, but it’s too early to call it Noah’s Ark. We have to do a lot of work. This can only be done with the support of universities and the Turkish state.”

Hi reece, thank you very much for the information, very impressive for sure!
But, if I may, and you probably would agree, I'm sure, I'd just like to add that the archaeological evidence does very little for me, as far as my convictions or faith goes towards the historical veracity of the Bible. For, as Christians who have ears and eyes to hear and perceive, we know that the God-given inspiration of the Bible is predominantly proven by the wisdom within. That is, we understand the purpose behind what God does to such an extent, that the means by which God does things are extremely incidental. For example, if Exodus said that Moses crossed the Red Sea with a hovercraft, I would believe it. Not necessarily because the Bible says so, or that the Bible states itself that its content is God-breathed, but because the history, law, characters and all the events recorded in the Bible, are arranged and purposed in such a way that clearly surpasses man's wisdom.
I say this because if we were to go on archaeological evidence alone, who would believe that the world or universe is only 6,000 to 10,000 years old, as the genealogies of the Bible would indicate? I wouldn't, and for the sake of rationality, I couldn't, for all the natural and material evidence proves otherwise (see Hugh Ross).
Thus, I truly believe that God added mystery into his creation to confound the wise and imprudent. i.e. I personally believe that he created an 'old' universe in 6 days.
reece, I just wanted to offer this so that Christians understand where the extent of their convictions should lie, in perceiving the wisdom and mystery of God. For our faith lies not in what is seen, but what is understood, and thus, acted upon despite the physical or superficial evidence, either declaring otherwise, or being lacking.
Thanks again reece, this definitely inspires either way, ...and again, please don't see this as a correction in any way, just as an a addition or supplement!
