(Worthy Insights) – Excitement is mounting in the archaeological community following recent revelations at the 7th International Symposium on Mount Ararat and Noah’s Ark, held in eastern Turkey.
A collaboration of experts from Istanbul Technical University, Agri Ibrahim Cecen University, and Andrews University in the United States has been working since 2021 under the banner of the Mount Ararat and Noah’s Ark Research Team. The team has focused its efforts on the Durupinar formation, a 538-foot geological structure composed of limonite and located approximately 30 kilometers south of the summit of Mount Ararat, near the Turkey-Iran border in the Doğubayazıt district of Ağrı.
The Durupinar formation has long captivated researchers and explorers due to its ship-like shape and dimensions that mirror the biblical description of Noah’s Ark. According to the Bible, the Ark’s dimensions were “a length of three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.” The structure’s measurements, approximately 150 meters in length, align with this account.
