Ancient CivilizationsWhat the Tunnels Beneath Mount Ararat Reveal — and What They Don’t Posted on May 11, 2026 by Administrator A boat-shaped geological formation in eastern Turkey is making headlines again, and for many Christians the very idea sends a familiar current of hope through the soul. Researchers from the California-based group Noah’s Ark Scans claim that ground-penetrating radar surveys of the Durupınar Formation — a 157-meter-long mound located about 18 miles south of Mount Ararat — have revealed what appear to be interior corridors, angular subterranean structures, and a central tunnel large enough, they say, to walk through. The secular press, predictably, oscillates between breathless wonder and performative skepticism. Neither reaction quite serves the truth.
