Noah's Ark Project Cites 3-Fold Organic Matter at Turkey Site as Evidence of Man-Made Origin

Summary
Soil samples collected in 2024 at Turkey's Durupinar formation showed three times more organic matter inside the boat-shaped site than outside, according to researchers arguing it may contain Noah's Ark remains.
The team said the interior also had 38% more potassium and an eight-times pH difference, patterns they say fit decayed wood, resin or animal matter in a chemically distinct "closed system."
Andrew Jones of Noah's Ark Scans called the results the strongest evidence yet for a man-made structure and said earlier scans also indicated tunnels about 4 meters down and 2 meters high.
The findings are likely to intensify a long-running dispute over the site, which has been studied since the 1950s and was described in a 1996 peer-reviewed paper as a natural rock formation.
Researchers are now seeking Turkish-led core drilling and advanced 3-D mapping to test whether the buried structure is geological or artificial.
