Researchers recover charred wood from Durupinar site in Turkey

Researchers investigating the Durupinar Formation in eastern Turkey have recovered pieces of charred wood buried approximately 30 feet underground. The samples have been sent to a laboratory for carbon-14 dating to determine their age and potential connection to the biblical Noah’s Ark.

Noah’s Ark Scans reported that the wood is damaged and charred, which may have resulted from historical fires or regional volcanic activity. While the depth of the material suggests it could be very old, researchers have not yet confirmed its origin. Dr. Khosrow Bakhtar, a defense scientist using the BakhtarRadar system at the site, reported detecting organized patterns, chambers, and corridors within the boat-shaped geological structure, claiming these features are not geological in nature.

Dr. Cenker Atila, who directs archaeological research at the site, noted that the team is awaiting laboratory results before drawing definitive conclusions. The investigation continues at the formation, located about 18 miles south of Mount Ararat.
