Drilling begins at Noahs Ark site as researchers probe Turkeys controversial Durupinar formation

Researchers have begun drilling into a mysterious, boat-shaped formation in the mountains of eastern Turkey, hoping an underground robot will unearth the answer to one of biblical history’s biggest mysteries.Members of the Noah’s Ark Scans expedition believe the Durupinar formation, located in eastern Turkey near Mount Ararat, could mark the final resting place of the vessel described in Genesis.“Good morning from the outer rims of Noah’s ark,” the project’s marketing and fundraising director, divisive Christian activist Lauren Witzke, wrote in a Tuesday update.“Core drilling has begun and the big bang evolutionists are already in damage control mode,” she continued.Witzke said the expedition had Turkish government approval and oversight from local universities, with “some of the most brilliant minds in the world” taking part.She made the sensational claim that, “When we are done, university curricula will need to be rewritten, and Darwinism will be dismantled.”“This is the place where creation began anew,” she enthused.Witzke is a controversial figure in American politics.The former Senate candidate is a self-proclaimed “flat-earther,” has voiced support for the right-wing conspiracy theory QAnon, and once called the Covid vaccine a “satantic plot.”But while Witzke handles publicity for the team, it includes bona fide archaeologists and geologists from around the world, such as Project Director Dr.Cenker Atila, from Turkey’s Sivas Cumhuriyet University.A long line of researchers have visited the controversial “ark” over the years and drawn very different conclusions.The Durupinar formation was officially discovered in 1959, when a Turkish Army captain captured it in an aerial photo while mapping the area.Local researchers carried out surveying, digging and dynamiting, but couldn’t find any archaeological evidence and concluded that the formation was a natural anomaly.Modern geologists agree, widely viewing the site as a ...
