Understand that without a few words in Genesis this would be another slump block amoung millions world wide. Great promotioal effort tnough. in a world in which every false hope is been revitalized for your enjoyment.
wood that old almost evaporates into the air. special conditions need to be applied to preserve.
more seriously, the Ark report is likely of a gravity ship that took folks out of harms way along with a bio bank not unlike our seed banks. And think two thousand colonists to launch a new society. also think at least six locales on earth. The craft was big enough.
Drill Bit Snaps on Layer ‘Harder Than Limestone’ at Possible ‘Noah’s Ark’ Site, Crew Including ‘Died Suddenly’ Producer Now Testing for Petrified Wood

An international team working the boat-shaped Durupınar formation near Mount Ararat says permitted core drilling has begun both inside and outside the outline of what some believe is Noah’s Ark, and that a hole inside the area that would be the hull stopped when the bit broke on a layer harder than limestone.
Typically, petrified wood is harder than limestone.
Durupınar is a 157-meter, 515-foot boat-shaped mound first spotted in 1959 by Turkish Army Capt. İlhan Durupınar.
The group investigating, Noah’s Ark Scans, is partnered with Sivas Cumhuriyet University and says this is the first deep, dry, permitted core program in the site’s recorded history.

Noah’s Ark Scans describes itself as an “international research initiative investigating the Durupınar formation in eastern Türkiye through permitted geophysical survey, soil science, core drilling, and targeted interior imaging.”
A custom borehole drone named Gopher is being prepared for voids the team mapped with radar.
In a press release about the expedition, first provided to The Gateway Pundit, the team explained:
For more than six decades, researchers have debated whether the outline is a natural landform or the buried remains of a large wooden vessel.
Until now, work at the site has been limited largely to surface observation, photography, and geophysical scanning. A 1988 drilling attempt reached only a few holes and a fraction of the depth now being sampled. The 1988 core samples were ultimately corrupted with water used to cool the core drilling bit.
The 2026 expedition is the first program authorized to carry out a non-destructive, permitted scientific investigation that includes deep core recovery inside and outside the formation.The project’s immediate goals are twofold.

First, the team is collecting continuous cores for laboratory analysis this winter, including compositional, organic, and stratigraphic testing. Second, researchers plan to insert the custom-built GOPHER underground exploration drone into voids, tunnels, and corridors previously mapped by ground-penetrating radar, electrical resistivity tomography, and related surveys. GOPHER, named for the “gopher wood” of Genesis, is equipped with a high-resolution camera, designed to enter narrow borehole access points without opening large excavation trenches.
Andrew Jones, Vice President of the Noah’s Ark Research Project, explained, “For the first time in history, we are performing an extensive, permitted deep core drilling survey inside and outside the Durupınar Noah’s Ark site, recovering samples from depths of up to 18 meters, nearly 60 feet. So far, we have recovered layers of rich organic material that we believe could be the decayed top-tier remains of the Ark. We are encountering multiple cavities, including one filled with mud and water. No bedrock or solid limestone has so far been identified in the holes drilled inside the formation. These current findings challenge claims that this is simply a natural shape made of limestone or bedrock.”
Geologists have long argued the shape is a natural landslide or limestone block.
Jones says the new holes disprove that.
“In one of the holes drilled inside the boat, approximately 4–5 meters below the surface, the drilling system had already penetrated the overlying material, but at this layer, the operation stopped as we struck a layer so hard that the drill bit broke. Petrified or highly mineralized wood are both a possibility we want to investigate through third-party lab testing.”
Jones added, “I believe this is Noah’s Ark, that’s why I’m putting the Durupinar site through the most rigorous testing possible.”
