Jones Finds Ark

Researchers assert that tunnels beneath Turkey’s Durupinar Formation correspond to the interior layout of Noah’s Ark.
Andrew Jones and his Noah’s Ark Scans team detected corridors at the Durupinar Formation near Mount Ararat using ground-penetrating radar.
Infrared thermography and soil samples revealed a ship-shaped hull, elevated potassium and lower pH.
The team will deploy a remote-controlled robot to explore tunnels and install cameras next season.

Jones Confirms Ark

Andrew Jones asserts the Durupinar Formation’s length is precisely 515 feet, identical to the Ark size described in Genesis.
The team employed ground-penetrating radar and infrared thermography to map ship-shaped tunnels beneath the Turkish formation, confirming an atrium cavity.
Soil inside the hull showed 38 percent higher potassium and increased organic matter versus surrounding ground.
Jones cites fossil coral and seashell fragments as evidence, while geologists point to tectonic uplift.
