Did Ron Wyatt Find Noah’s Ark?
Did Ron Wyatt actually find the remains of Noah’s Ark?
With renewed attention surrounding the Durupınar site in eastern Turkey, Scott and John sit down with Mary Nell Wyatt Lee, who worked alongside her late husband, biblical archaeology researcher Ron Wyatt, to hear the story of the investigation from someone who witnessed much of it firsthand.
Mary Nell takes us through decades of research at the unusual boat-shaped formation near Mount Ararat and presents the evidence that convinced Ron he had located the remains of the biblical Ark. From the dimensions of the formation and massive drogue stones to metal detector readings, subsurface radar, material samples, possible fossilized timbers, rivets, and later electrical-resistivity scans, the findings raise fascinating questions about what may still lie beneath the ground.
Mary Nell also addresses the renewed investigation taking place at Durupınar today, her concerns about excavation and drilling at the site, and why she believes Ron’s original research is important to understanding the discoveries now receiving worldwide attention.
Most importantly, the discussion returns to Scripture. Genesis tells us the Ark rested upon the “mountains of Ararat”(Genesis 8:4), and Jesus Himself pointed believers back to the days of Noah when describing the time surrounding His return.
“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
— Matthew 24:37 KJV
Could God have preserved physical evidence of the Flood for this generation to see?
