Researchers have begun drilling into a boat-shaped formation in eastern Turkey as part of a new effort to determine whether the site could be linked to the biblical story of Noah's Ark. The Durupinar formation near Mount Ararat has attracted researchers and Ark enthusiasts for decades, but there is no archaeological evidence confirming that it is the remains of a ship. The latest expedition is using drilling and underground technology to investigate what lies beneath the surface, with Turkish universities involved in the research. The formation was first identified in 1959 and has remained highly controversial, with geologists generally describing it as a natural feature shaped by erosion. #noahsark #news #turkey #bible #science
