THE 2014 SUBSURFACE IMAGING PROJECT

OF NOAH'S ARK

 

THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY SCANS OF NOAH'S ARK (2014).

 

On the 11th September 1959, while studying around 10000 aerial photographs, Captain Ilhan Durupinar from the Turkish army, noticed an object which was shaped like a boat, in a photograph which had been taken from above the Ararat Mountains in Eastern Turkey. (Fig. 1). He believed that the shape of the object could not have been formed by nature, and after calculating the length and the width, he concluded that the boat shape was possibly the remains of Noah's ark.

THE 1960 EXPEDITION

An expedition was sent into the Ararat Mountains the following year, and the boat shaped object which had been identified in the aerial photograph was located. The report of their findings was later published in Life Magazine on the 5th September 1960.

According to the Life Magazine article the Turkish Army used dynamite to explode a section of the ship. The article then states that:

"small bits of wood but no large chunks were found". (Life Magazine, Sept 5, 1960).
