Noah's Ark '100% confirmed' as scientists make 'one of the greatest human discoveries in 4,300 years'

It's been revealed that scientists are now drilling into a mysterious boat-like structure located in the mountains of eastern Turkey.
Researchers have previously suggested that the use of an underground robot could help to uncover the answer to one of the Bible's biggest questions.
In fact, members of the Noah’s Ark Scans expedition say that the Durupinar formation, which is near Mount Ararat, may be the final resting place of the famous vessel from the Old Testament.
The discovery in Turkey could help to significant evidence for the existence of Noah's Ark, with the strange rock formation first being identified in 1959.
Andrew Jones, a researcher with Noah’s Ark Scans, and his team have conducted further research, suggesting through ground-penetrating radar scans and soil samples that there are 'corridors' underground.
Progress made by Noah's Ark Scans Expedition
The tunnels found in scans months ago lined up with dimensions of the Ark described in ancient texts, measuring 515 feet long, as some have claimed its site has been '100% confirmed'.
Of course, we're not necessarily endorsing that claim - we'll wait until that is totally confirmed, if at all, as there are some other scientists and archaeologists who think they know what it actually is.
An 'atrium' would be found in the centre of the structure, as tunnel-like structures ran along the inside edges of the formation.
Speaking in an update made on Tuesday (September 22), the project's marketing and fundraising director, Lauren Witzke, stated: “Good morning from the outer rims of Noah’s ark,
“Core drilling has begun, and the big bang evolutionists are already in damage control mode.”
The controversial religious voice said the Turkish government approved it, under the supervision of local universities.
She said that the 'most brilliant minds in the world' were part of the expedition, boldly claiming: “When we are done, university curricula will need to be rewritten, and Darwinism will be dismantled.”
The former Senate candidate, who is also a 'flat-earther' who described the COVID vaccine as a 'satanic plot', said that the formation is 'where creation began anew'.
Despite her public statement, the team includes specialist archaeologists and geologists from around the world.
This includes Project Director Dr. Cenker Atila, from Turkey’s Sivas Cumhuriyet University.
The group's fundraising page said they plan to 'drill narrow cores down into those spaces and send in Gopher, an underground robot built to go where a person cannot'.
History of the site
Discovered in 1959 when a Turkish Army captain captured it in an aerial photo while mapping the area, the Durupinar formation has been visited by several researchers ever since.
Local experts surveyed, dug up, and used dynamite on the area, but there was no archaeological evidence found.
Modern geologists agree that it is a natural anomaly, with the boat-shape being made of limestone and volcanic clay, shaped by erosion.
But when American salvage expert David Fasold used ground-penetrating radar on the site, he became convinced that the 164-meter-long formation was close to the 157-meter length of the ark quoted in the Bible.
Large carved stones in the northwest of the formation were believed to be ancient sea anchors, according to Fasold.
Further studies of the soil surrounding the site have revealed compelling evidence that the rock formation was intentionally shaped by human hands.
In 2024, Jones and his team collected 88 soil samples from both inside and outside the boat-shaped structure.
The samples revealed that the soil inside the formation contained three times more organic matter and 38 percent more potassium compared to the surrounding area.
