The search for one of the most legendary boats of human history has made a potential breakthrough as multiple teams of scientists have zeroed in on a curious ship-shaped rise on Mt. Ararat in Turkey. The story of Noah\u2019s Ark and the great\u00a0flood<\/a>\u00a0that covered the earth, echoed in the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, has long fascinated archaeologists who have wondered if remnants of the boat are still to be found.<\/p>\n

Satellite images, radiocarbon dating, and most recently, 3D scans of the site known as Durup\u0131nar have all given hope to researchers that solid evidence of the Ark may soon be found.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a man-made object and it\u2019s a ship form,\u201d computer engineer and biblical researcher Andrew Jones told\u00a0WZTV<\/a>,<\/p>\n

As per the description of Genesis 8:4, \u201cAnd the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat,\u201d researchers have investigated the site, which lies around 2,000 meters (6,560 feet) above sea level and was first identified by a Turkish cartographer in 1959.<\/p>\n
