“And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.”

Is Noah’s Ark Really Being Found in Turkey?
A new investigation is generating renewed interest in one of history’s greatest archaeological mysteries: the possible discovery of Noah’s Ark in eastern Turkey.
The video examines the latest research surrounding the Durupınar formation, a large, boat-shaped geological structure near Üzengili in Ağrı Province, Turkey, approximately 18 miles (29 kilometers) south of Mount Ararat.
Researchers have recently conducted core drilling at the site, collecting samples from deep within the formation. Some samples have reportedly been taken from depths approaching 60 feet. Scientists are now examining the material for evidence that could help determine whether the formation is simply a natural geological structure—or something far more intriguing.
The Dimensions of Noah’s Ark
According to Genesis 6:15, God instructed Noah to build the Ark with these dimensions:
300 cubits long × 50 cubits wide × 30 cubits high.
Using a cubit of approximately 20.6 inches, those biblical measurements convert to:
- 300 cubits = approximately 515 feet long
- 50 cubits = approximately 86 feet wide
- 30 cubits = approximately 52 feet high
That means the biblical Ark would have been an enormous vessel—approximately 515 feet long, 86 feet wide and 52 feet high.
Interestingly, researchers investigating the Durupınar formation have pointed to dimensions and proportions that they say deserve further investigation.
The proposed site itself is approximately 515 feet (157 meters) in length, although measurements and interpretations of the formation vary, and the structure's identification as a ship remains disputed.
What Are Researchers Finding?
The latest investigation involves drilling into the formation and analyzing samples from beneath the surface. Researchers are looking for evidence such as ancient organic material, possible wood, unusual layers, cavities, and signs of human activity.
Pottery fragments and other archaeological material discovered in the surrounding region are also being investigated.
The big question is whether these discoveries represent evidence of an ancient vessel—or whether they can be explained by the area's natural geology.
At this point, Noah's Ark has not been scientifically confirmed to have been found. The Durupınar formation has been debated for decades, with some researchers arguing that it could represent the remains of the biblical Ark while others maintain that it is a natural geological formation.
Nevertheless, the new drilling and laboratory analysis could provide additional information about what lies beneath the surface.
If the biblical dimensions are correct—300 cubits, or roughly 515 feet, in length—the Ark would have been an enormous structure. And now, researchers are drilling into a mysterious 515-foot-long formation near Mount Ararat to find out what is actually buried inside.
Where is the investigation?

Absolutely. The construction instructions for Noah's Ark are found primarily in Genesis 6:14–16. Here they are in a clear format:
Noah's Ark — Biblical Construction Instructions
Genesis 6:14
“Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.”
Construction material:
- Gopher wood
- The Ark was to contain rooms/compartments
- It was to be waterproofed inside and outside with pitch
Genesis 6:15
“And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.”
Dimensions:
- Length: 300 cubits ≈ 515 feet
- Width: 50 cubits ≈ 86 feet
- Height: 30 cubits ≈ 52 feet
Genesis 6:16
“A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.”
This gives us several additional construction details:
- A window
- The window/opening was associated with one cubit
- One door, located in the side
- Three levels/stories
- Lower
- Second
- Third
Put together as a blueprint
ARK
Length: 300 cubits → ~515 ft
Width: 50 cubits → ~86 ft
Height: 30 cubits → ~52 ft
Construction:
- Gopher wood
- Internal rooms/compartments
- Pitch inside
- Pitch outside
- Window
- Door in the side
- Three stories/decks
Then Genesis 6:19–20 gives instructions concerning the animals that would enter the Ark, and Genesis 6:21 instructs Noah to bring food for himself, his family, and the animals.
One interesting thing is that Genesis actually provides enough information to make a basic proportional model of the Ark, even though it doesn't give detailed plans for the framing, ribs, beams, or exact shape of the hull.

As Sirian starseeds, we first arrived on Earth around 10,500 BCE, during a window named "zep tepi neteru," in the age of Leo..and were military and scientific contractors for the Hadarian elites, of pre-flood Atlantis....And granted cosmic entry, through the firmament border, by the Atlantean/Anunnaki protocols..So we were/are officially granted the "AN" (sky) status of "dingir," cuneiform:𒀭 which is the ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform sign and word, meaning "god" or "goddess."..aka; sky gods..(namely, advanced beings arriving on Earth, via the sky.)
Pertaining to all authorised visitors from off world, at that time...before the flood.
The Anunnaki did use the language described in this video, before Sumeria was ever officially founded, some 5000 BCE, many centuries later....
So, basically, like so many Earth languages, Sumerian possesses offworld roots and was taught to the people of southern Mesopotamia, by the Anunnaki themselves...

Question; did the weight of ice age glaciers effect earth quakes, as they melted and shrunk..??
Answer; yes and it's called Postglacial Rebound....AI provides a good summary here:
"• Unclamping Faults: Massive glaciers act as a heavy blanket that presses down on the Earth's crust and holds tectonic faults clamped shut.
• Crustal Uplift: As glaciers melt and shrink, the immense weight is lifted. The land bounces back—a process called postglacial rebound.
• Releasing Stress: This rapid unloading shifts stress onto fault lines, making it easier for them to slip and release pent-up energy as earthquakes.
• Meltwater Pressure: In addition to the weight loss, melting ice creates water that can seep deep into the ground, increasing underground pressure and reducing friction along faults"
However, the land topography was very different during and before Younger Dryas...The ice age proper...when sea levels could average about 400 feet lower, than now...In fact, Britain was connected to Europe by a land bridge, and there was a land mass in what is now the north sea...called Doggerland...So although Atlantis itself was a different place, located in the middle of the ocean, and rather like Australia, with the mid Atlantic trench running down it's centre, there were many similar sunken islands and flooded coastlines, around the world, too..So much meltwater from those sources added to sea levels and much as rain..
Doggerland being one of several globe-wide examples....
"It stretched from the eastern coast of England to the Netherlands, Germany, and the Danish peninsula of Jutland."

Pleistocene, to Holocene.
Of course, the Anunnaki themselves could not have summoned and possessed the manpower needed, to maintain the global rituals and organised priesthoods, to complete such work, even if the others in the council, listened to Enki's warnings about the importance..He was the scientist, the rest were administrators, warriors and bureaucratic...The Greek legends speak of differences between Gods and Titans and there is much truth behind the myths...with the Atlantean elites being in the latter camp..
In fact, when you observe the global map word, which is "atlas," note the titan called by that very name, as it is one and the same, with Atlantis' original King; Atlant, (gave his name to the continent) who was of the light...He set the Atlantean firmament duties, figuratively holding the entire world upon his shoulders....In the Greek legends, it's Atlas who completes the task, not Zeus, not Ares....These clues offer much for researchers and readers can make note of them...
I will state that there really was a global flood, which marked the end of Younger Dryas and several cultures, not in contact with each other, described the details....From Hebrews, to Mesopotamians, to Norsemen, to MesoAmericans, et al....
In modern times we have some excellent forensic sciences and scanning devices, which in many areas of biblical accounts, are beginning to find evidences which back the stories.....I do believe that the Hebrews who read the Babylonian records, added embelishments, making Noah centre stage...But I will always direct true investigators to Sumerian tablets and the flood stories surrounding Enki and long-lived and rewarded, King Ziusudra of Shuruppak..His very name meant "long-lived one" and the cuneiform 𒍣𒌓𒋤𒁺...A historical and pre-historical person and contactee of Enki, who was indeed an Anunnaki, ranked at 40...("Rain fell continuously for 40 days and 40 nights from the windows of heaven and the fountains of the deep.")
Enki's cuneiform name is 𒀭𒂗𒆠
