Core Drilling at Suspected Noah’s Ark Site Commences

A team exploring the potential final resting place of Noah’s Ark has announced that core drilling has officially started.

The Noah’s Ark Scan team is focusing on a mound resembling a boat—known as the Durupinar formation—located in a remote area of Eastern Turkey, near Mount Ararat.

In a recent fundraising letter, the team asserted, “When we are done, university curriculums will need to be re-written, and Darwinism will be dismantled. This is the place where creation began anew.”

Despite skeptics dismissing the site for decades, the team claims that advanced BakhtarRadar scanning technology has suggested that this mound might not just be a rock formation.

On Tuesday, Lauren Witzke, who manages fundraising and marketing for the team, shared an update from the site, highlighting that the drilling process had kicked off.

“Core drilling has begun, and the Big Bang Evolutionists are already on damage control mode,” Witzke remarked.

She went on to elaborate that this drilling phase is crucial for uncovering what seem to be corridors, chambers, and even a hall extending 250 feet within the site.

Following the drilling efforts, a subterranean robot, referred to as the “Gopher,” will be deployed to investigate and document the underground findings indicated by the scans.

According to Witzke, the team is pioneering this exploration with official permits and is working in collaboration with Turkish universities.

“Some of the brightest minds globally are involved in this 2026 Expedition. This research is the only one that truly matters,” she asserted.

Witzke further stated, “Evidence of a global catastrophic flood can be found everywhere—from ocean fossils discovered on Mount Everest to sand dollars scattered across Eastern Turkey. Even the seashells on Mount Ararat haven’t fully fossilized yet.”

In a previous interview with the “Today” show last November, Andrew Jones, who founded the Noah’s Ark Scans team, elaborated on their belief that this could indeed be the legendary Ark from the Bible. He referenced Genesis chapter six, which describes a vessel measuring 300 cubits in length, approximately 515 feet or 157 meters in the Egyptian measure, mirroring the dimensions of the mound.

“Other researchers have previously indicated that there are three distinct layers beneath the surface, harmonizing with the biblical account of three decks described in Genesis,” Jones added.
