Noah's Ark Found? Andrew Jones on Durupinar, Core Drilling & Stolen Hard Drives | NDS

Is the Durupinar formation in the mountains of Ararat really Noah's Ark? Andrew Jones, the American "guardian of the Ark" and founder of Noah's Ark Scans, joins TopLobsta and David Lee Corbo "The Raven" on Nephilim Death Squad from Eastern Turkey, where he lives a few miles from the boat-shaped site.

Andrew has been going to Durupinar since 1997 and moved to Turkey in 2020 to push the project forward. He walks through 30 years of scans at the site: the 2014 ERT survey that reached 38 meters and showed layers he says look like three decks, the digital radar that found right angles about 20 feet down, and this year's expedition, which Turkish officials unanimously approved, with core drilling that he says went down 60 feet without hitting bedrock or a solid block of rock. Just dirt.

He explains why the formation is 515 feet long, which he says equals 300 royal Egyptian cubits, why declassified satellite photos from 1955 to 1984 show the boat shape holding together while the mudflow around it keeps moving, and why the Bible says the "mountains of Ararat," not the volcano on Mount Ararat itself. The guys also get into the geology critics, Ron Wyatt's old radar work, whether the animals could fit, and the theories that it's a Roman replica or a Mongolian fort.

Then the story turns dark. Andrew describes two nights of men pounding on his apartment door at 2 AM and threatening to kill him, and the morning a friend video-called to show him the metal door kicked in and every hard drive in his office gone, while his clothes and kitchen were left alone. He talks about who might not want this research done, the rumor in Turkey that the core samples were stolen and sent to America, the hunt for ancient DNA, what irrefutable proof would look like, and the giant skeletons local villagers say they dug up near the Ark and buried again.
