Andrew Jones, founder of Noah’s Ark Scans, traces his interest back to Ron Wyatt. As a teenager, he used directory assistance to find Wyatt’s number and called him with questions. Jones recalls that his father complained about the phone bill. #NoahsArk #History

Cenker Atila, an archaeologist at Sivas Cumhuriyet University, directs the Durupınar research project in cooperation with Noah’s Ark Scans. Earlier work includes the Bergama Archaeology Museum and the excavations at Phokaia. He is pictured here with Andrew Jones and Sarihan #NoahsArk #Archaeology

Filmmaker Cem Sertesen said his Noah’s Ark documentary took 22 years to complete. It premiered in Turkey in 2017. Among the people he tracked down and interviewed were İlhan Durupınar and photographer Ara Güler. #NoahsArk #History

Geologist Lorence Collins was Fasold’s co-author. He examined a supposed iron fitting from Durupınar, and his analysis identified a natural mineral concretion, not a forged ship component. #NoahsArk #Geology

David Fasold, a supporter of Wyatt. published a book in 1988 that argued for Durupinar as the Ark’s location. 8 years later, he coauthored a paper concluding that it was a natural formation. The same investigator helped make the case for the “Ark” and later campaigned against it. #NoahsArk #Geology

Geophysicist John Baumgardner investigated Durupınar with radar and attempted core drilling in the 1980s. The recent scans are nothing new - they follow decades of efforts to see beneath the formation’s surface. #NoahsArk #Geology

Ron Wyatt, a nurse anesthetist, became one of Durupınar’s best-known advocates. A photograph in the LIFE magazine article in 1960 sparked his interest. He first visited the site in 1977, taking his two teenage sons with him. #NoahsArk #History

William Shea, a physician who later earned a PhD in Near Eastern Studies, proposed a different explanation for Durupınar in 1976: maybe Noah’s Ark had left an impression in mud that later hardened. So, not the Ark, but the Ark’s footprint. #NoahsArk #History

Creationist geologist Clifford Burdick visited Durupınar in 1973 and concluded that it was a natural formation. William Shea’s 1976 article (see next post!) preserves his assessment. #NoahsArk #Geology

Photographer Ara Güler helped bring Durupınar to an international audience. His official biography says Magnum distributed his Noah’s Ark photo-report to more than 100 publications. He also photographed Picasso and Dalí. #NoahsArk #History

Archaeologist Siegfried Horn, who objected when the 1960 Durupınar team proposed using dynamite. He was outvoted. According to George Vandeman, nine sticks were used on the formation—and still no archaeological remains appeared. #NoahsArk #Archaeology

George Vandeman, the television evangelist behind “It Is Written,” helped organize the 1960 Durupınar expedition. His account says the team found no boat and saw no reason for a full excavation. The excavation was mentioned in the September 5 issue of LIFE magazine that year. #NoahsArk #History

Ohio State’s Arthur Brandenberger joined the captain on the 1960 Durupınar expedition. His specialty: measuring terrain from photographs. The captain’s brother, Ahmet Tayfur Durupınar, was studying with Brandenberger at the time, according to the university newspaper. #NoahsArk #History

Let’s start with Turkish army Captain İlhan Durupınar. He was making maps when he noticed a boat-shaped outline in an aerial photograph in 1959. This geological formation now bears his name. The following year, he would join an expedition to the site. #NoahsArk #History

I’m researching Durupinar, which is back in the news as the supposed remains of Noah’s Ark. It has quite a cast of characters! Throughout today, I’ll introduce some of them—from the captain who spotted it in an aerial photograph to the folks behind Noah’s Ark Scans. #NoahsArk

What if they REALLY found Noah’s Ark?

I’m skeptical, but I’d absolutely love for it to be real. The Durupınar formation.
