Here's What Nobody Told You About Noah's Ark (7060 hits)

The story of Noah's ark is one of the most beloved Old Testament tales. Noah built that ark for a long time, then there was the great flood, and all the animals boarded two by two and so on. But what's the real story of the ark? Here's the untold truth of Noah's ark.

One of the most famous supposedly-Noah's-ark sites is the admittedly very boat-looking Durupinar site in Turkey. According to Atlas Obscura, the site was exposed in the late 1940s after a series of earthquakes and storms.

What's odd about this place is how long it has persisted as "the remnants of Noah's ark" when it was excluded as a possible resting place for the famed ship during the first initial investigation in 1960. No evidence has been found that there is any ship there, nor has any actual petrified wood been located there, with the exception of a few fragments that probably arrived in a mudslide.

The boat-shaped formation is actually just rock and hardened mud. It appears boat-like but contains no evidence of the timbers or iron fastenings that would have been used in a large boat's construction. Oh, and all that petrified animal poop on the site really doesn't prove anything, either, because of the whole "animals have been roaming the world for millions of years" problem.

Watch the video to find out more on what nobody told you about Noah's Ark.
