Researchers studying a boat-shaped rock formation in eastern Turkey have collected more than 400 ground samples

The Noah’s Ark Scans team obtained the samples through drilling at various depths within the Durupınar formation. Lauren Witzke, the project's communications and fundraising manager, stated in an interview with LifeSiteNews that Cumhuriyet University in Sivas and other laboratories are examining the samples. Final results have not yet been published.

The team used BaktharRadar technology to identify subsurface anomalies, which rock mechanics specialist Khrosrow Bakthar helped detect. Researchers interpret these findings as possible chambers, corridors, and organized levels. The team has performed drilling to depths of nearly 18 meters.
