A new radar scan of a mysterious boat-shaped formation in Turkey has uncovered underground structures that researchers say could be linked to the remains of Noah's Ark. The latest findings come from the Durupinar formation in eastern Turkey, around 30 kilometres south of Mount Ararat, a site that has attracted Noah's Ark hunters for decades.

Using advanced three-dimensional ground-penetrating radar, researchers say they detected angular structures, corridors and interconnected spaces buried beneath the formation. The features were reportedly found as deep as around 6 metres below the surface and appear to form several levels inside the 157-metre-long structure.

Researchers also point to soil tests taken from the formation, saying they found substantially more organic material inside than in the surrounding area. They say the results could be consistent with decayed organic material, possibly ancient wood, though geologists remain skeptical.

Most scientists continue to regard the formation as a natural geological structure created by folded rock and erosion. The latest findings have not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal, leaving the debate open as researchers plan further investigations.
