Then they would come to Mount Ararat, take pictures and on the way back say, "We couldn't find it this time, but next time, definitely. After the debacle of Mount Ararat, foreigners headed for Mount Judi.

Withhold thy rain! The Ark rested on Mount Judi, and the word went forth: 'Away with those who do wrong! Quranic commentaries concur that Judi is a mountain near Mosul. Even literally, Islamic scholars praise this mountain for humbly taking on the ship. While describing the flood, the Babylonian priest Berossos, who lived around B. These mountains are located on the southwest shores of Lake Van. And it is where Mount Judi stands. Just north of Mesopotamia, where the Prophet Noah lived, it is the only high mountain, with an altitude of 2, meters, the most suitable for a ship to land on.

The dove, which was sent to see if the flood was over, returned with an olive branch in its mouth. On the skirts of Mount Ararat, which is 5, meters tall, neither olive nor any other trees grow because of the cold while the southwest of Judi is an olive grove.

As both mountains are in eastern Anatolia, there is no reason why Mount Judi should not be considered a part of the Ararat Mountains mentioned in the Torah. As mentioned in a verse of the Quran, "And the people of Noah, when they rejected the messengers, We drowned them, and We made them as a sign for humanity" Surah Al-Furqan: Some tafsir exegesis scholars concluded that the remains of the ship would not be lost.

It is narrated that the Prophet Muhammad once said, "There is something left behind from Noah's Ark, where the first of this ummah Muslims will catch up.

The Durupinar site is approximately 30 km south of that mountain. In , a cartographer named Ilhan Durupinar discovered a boat-shaped footprint on top of a mountain in the Dogubayazit region in Turkey. Now, American researchers and Turkish scientists of Noah's Ark Discovered Project claim that they have proof that the biblical relic lies beneath the surface of Durupinar.

Using 3D scans of GPR and ERT technology, the researchers claim that they uncovered a man-made boat structure beneath the ground, before beginning any excavation. The text carries specific descriptions regarding the size and structure of the vessel: length cubits, breadth 50 cubits, and height 30 cubits. The Torah further tells us that the Ark landed on the hills of Mt.

The Durupinar site is approximately 30 km south of the mountain. Researcher Andrew Jones and lead scientist Dr. However, the scientific world is not keen to accept their assumption. In the s through to the s, American researcher Ron Wyatt studied the site and published his discoveries, which geologist Lorence Collins then systematically refuted in in the Journal of Geosciences Education, dismissing the findings as natural rock formation with an unusual structure.

The spikes and wanes in public and academic interest were enough to lead the Turkish Ministry of Culture to place the site under national protection and label it a national park, but no official excavation projects have been approved.

Several independent teams are studying the site simultaneously, both Turkish and foreign. Even after the original discovery was deemed superficial and a natural phenomenon, some never gave up on the belief that the original Ark lies beneath its surface. Perhaps the findings by Noah's Ark Scans, making use of technology that didn't exist during previous expeditions, could sway the verdict regarding deeper examination of the location that could potentially be hiding one of the most significant relics in history.
