Enigmatic "underground corridors" have been unearthed at a site in Turkey thought to be the resting place of Noah's Ark. The find came after American specialist Dr Khosrow Bakhtar, a seasoned scientist who previously served with the Department of Defense, deployed his cutting-edge subsurface scanner at the renowned Durupinar formation in Turkey.
Utilising his "BakhtarRadar" technology, which eliminates geological interference such as rocks and soil, Dr Bakhtar claimed to have identified a series of unnatural, structured patterns buried deep below the surface. According to Dr Bakhtar, the findings also comprise vast underground corridors and chambers running through the 515-foot boat-shaped mound near the Mountains of Ararat.
Significant finding in 40-year career
"This is the most significant finding for 40 years of my career. I have never seen this kind of anomaly before," he said. Other scientists, however, have previously dismissed the Durupinar formation as a natural geological phenomenon.
"If the anomalies were not important, we would not have seen them at all," Dr Bakhtar said, reports the Express. "But the fact that they showed so clearly indicates that they come from something. I am a hundred per cent sure that they come from the same original object."
Repeated anomalies form corridors
He further stated: "As we entered the boat, we identified a very strong interface, which is a very dark line going all the way down. If you look at the strength of the signature, it doesn't matter what depth you're looking at, they all have the same strength. We can quantify the repeated anomalies that, when you connect them, form corridors. Because of that, I think all the anomalies are related to one particular object."
The findings were published by the research collective Noah's Ark Scans, which boldly proclaimed the site to be "100% not geological." Dr Bakhtar, however, stated he keeps an open mind regarding what actually created the puzzling outline.
International expedition and laboratory tests
His remarks followed an international expedition, jointly sanctioned by the Turkish authorities, which has stepped up physical investigations at the location. Scientists have commenced coring and drilling into the formation to extract soil and rock samples for analysis in laboratories.
Yet geologists maintain that extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof, leaving the world on tenterhooks awaiting the laboratory findings to determine whether Dr Bakhtar's enigmatic "corridors" truly are the remnants of Noah's Ark.
