Unveiling Noah's Ark: A Remarkable Discovery

I. Quranic Revelation vs. Scientific Findings

Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that Noah's Ark settled on Mount Judi instead of Mount Ararat.

This revelation aligns with Quran 11:44, where the Ark is described as resting on Mount Judi, while Genesis 8:4 in the Bible mentions the "mountain of Ararat."

II. The Astounding Discovery

British historian Martin Wroe, writing in The Observer (London) on January 16, 1994, reported that the Ark was discovered near the Turkish-Iranian border, approximately 32 kilometers from Mount Ararat, directly beneath the mountain of Al-Judy.

The Turkish government has recognized the significance of this discovery, designating the site as one of special archaeological interest and approving plans for excavation.

III. Unveiling the Ark

The site, situated at an altitude of 2,300 meters, contains a buried structure resembling a ship, measuring 170 meters in length and 45 meters in width, closely matching the dimensions of Noah's Ark as described in Genesis 6.

Researchers have identified large stones with carved holes, believed to be ancient drogue-stones used to stabilize ships, as well as unusual iron-oxide distribution detected by radar soundings.

IV. Expert Insights

Salih Bayraktutan, head of geology at Turkey’s Ataturk University, estimates the age of the structure to be over 100,000 years, affirming its man-made origin and its alignment with the Quranic account of Noah's Ark resting place.

David Fasold, an American shipwreck specialist leading the investigation, has reported clear radar imagery of the site, suggesting the presence of fossilized remains and indicating the possible absence of the original reed substructure.

V. Prophetic Precision

The Quranic description of the Ark's resting place, referring to Mount Judi specifically, stands in contrast to the Bible's mention of the "mountain of Ararat."

This remarkable alignment between Quranic teachings and archaeological findings underscores the significance of Mount Judi as the true resting place of Noah's Ark, as elucidated in Quranic scripture.

"Indeed, this Quran guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward."
