Turkish Archaeologists Find Anomalies Near Noah's Ark Search Site
Turkish archaeologists have detected anomalies, including voids and angular structures, in a rock formation near Mount Ararat, which resembles a giant ship and measures 164 meters—matching the biblical dimensions of Noah's Ark. Researchers are analyzing soil samples and await final results in two to three months to determine if the site contains remnants of the Ark.
