Biblical Archaeology Researchers Say Recent Discovery Of Lost Underwater City In Lake Van In Turkey Challenges Timeline For Noah’s Ark Account

Researchers say an ancient underwater city beneath Lake Van in Turkey could potentially reveal secrets that challenge the origins of Noah’s Ark

A number of years ago, we published an article against the day that researchers would discover the ‘bones of Jesus’ and what your response as a Bible believer should be. The article you are reading right now is a confirmation that that day is indeed coming. Biblical archaeologists have found the remains of an underwater city in Lake Van in Turkey, not too far from Mt. Ararat where Noah’s Ark is believed to have landed. Those researchers are very excited to get you to doubt the biblical account of what happened back in Genesis 6, and you need to make sure you don’t fall for it.

“And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.” Genesis 6:13,17 (KJB)

One thing I have learned about the King James Bible over the last 34+ years of reading it, is that it is never wrong, not even once. Beginning all the way back to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 launched by Roman Catholics to stop the King James Bible, all the way up to the present day, the KJV 1611 has withstood and beaten back all comers, up to and including every one of the 450 ‘modern versions’ created to supplant it. The King James Bible is always right and will always be many steps ahead of you. So when it talks about the timeline of Noah’s Ark, you can rest assured it’s right, no matter what 21st century researchers want you to believe. All that said, there’s some good stuff below about the underwater city of Lake Van that lies of the shadow of Mt. Ararat. Eat the meat, spit out the bones.

Vast underwater city discovered near ‘resting place of Noah’s Ark’ rewrites Bible story known to millions

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The sprawling ruins lie 85 feet below the surface near the town of Gevaş, just 150 miles from Mount Ararat, the mountain traditionally believed to be the final resting place of the biblical boat. Geological evidence suggests that the ruins were submerged 12,000 to 14,500 years ago, when a Mount Nemrut eruption blocked the Mirat River, and caused massive flooding during the Younger Dryas, a period of extreme climate upheaval.

While mainstream scholars dismiss the theory, many independent researchers believe this disaster wiped out an advanced civilization, one so ancient that it may have inspired the earliest versions of the Great Flood story.

‘As far as I’m aware, any civilizations in the last 6,000 years did not have the technological means to create the type of stonework we’re seeing here,’ said independent researcher Matt LaCroix, who spoke about the discovery on the Matt Beall Limitless podcast.

LaCroix and an international dive team are preparing to explore the site in September using advanced imaging tools to map the ruins, which he believes could help rewrite humanity’s timeline. The underwater complex spans more than half a mile, featuring a stone fortress flanked by circular temples with precisely carved masonry. There is also a capstone engraved with a six-spoked ‘Flower of Life’ symbol, an ancient motif also found at sacred sites in Peru and Bolivia. Discovered in 1997 by Turkish underwater filmmaker Tossen Salin while studying Lake Van’s unusual micro-invertebrates, the ruins have remained largely unknown to the public.

While archaeologists confirm the structures exist, many attribute them to the Urartian period around 3,000 years ago, or even to the medieval era. But they have admitted that the site has yet to be fully studied or definitively dated. LaCroix, however, said in a July episode of the podcast that geological data told a different story. He explained how soil sampling and analysis of Mount Nemrut show clear evidence of a massive eruption around 12,000 years ago. As a result, Lake Van’s water level rose dramatically, over 100 feet, according to some estimates.

Because stone cannot be carbon-dated, researchers hope to find organic material, such as sediment layers or artifacts, which could confirm the age of the ruins. But collecting such evidence underwater poses major challenges. The site’s sophisticated stonework, with tightly interlocking blocks, angular joints, and no visible binding agents, appears to rival the engineering seen in megalithic sites like Sacsayhuamán in Peru.

Scholars have long acknowledged that the biblical flood story likely evolved from earlier Mesopotamian texts. Ancient cuneiform tablets from Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian cultures, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Atrahasis, and the Eridu Genesis, describe a massive flood sent to destroy early civilization, and a chosen man who builds a vessel to save life on Earth. In these tales, the survivor is called Ziusudra or Utnapishtim, names predating Noah by thousands of years. READ MORE
