A 16th-Century Map May Reveal the Location of Noah’s Ark
Archaeologists and researchers have drawn attention to an unusual detail on a 440-year-old world map – a planisphere created in 1587 by Italian cartographer Urbano Monte.
The map consists of 60 hand-drawn sheets that can be assembled into a circle nearly three meters wide. It is considered one of the largest early world maps and features illustrations of continents, distant lands, ships, and mythical creatures.
What has attracted the most interest is an image that some researchers believe marks the location where Noah’s Ark came to rest after the Great Flood. On the map, the object appears in the region of Mount Ararat in modern-day Turkey.
Independent researcher Jimmy Corsetti has claimed that the location shown on the map matches the site of the Durupinar Formation – a boat-shaped geological formation near Mount Ararat. Some enthusiasts believe this could be the final resting place of Noah’s Ark.
According to Genesis 8:4, the Ark came to rest on the “mountains of Ararat” after 150 days of flooding. Researchers note that the dimensions of the Durupinar Formation roughly match the biblical description of the Ark – 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.
The region has been studied for decades. Recently, the Noah’s Ark Scans team conducted surveys using ground-penetrating radar. According to the researchers, they detected subsurface features resembling corridors and internal chambers leading to a central cavity.
The team argues that the layout of these anomalies appears consistent with the biblical description of a three-deck vessel intended for Noah, his family, and the animals.

Soil analyses were also carried out. In 2024, researchers collected 88 samples from inside and outside the boat-shaped formation. Their findings showed that the soil within the structure contained roughly three times more organic matter and 38% more potassium than the surrounding area.
According to members of the project, these results could be consistent with the long-term decomposition of organic material such as wood. Researchers also observed differences in vegetation, noting that grass growing within the formation displays a different color than grass outside it.
Additional interest was generated by the discovery of fossilized marine organisms, including coral and seashells, near the site. Some researchers believe these findings could be evidence of an ancient flood.
However, geologists point out that such marine fossils can also be explained by tectonic processes that lifted the area thousands of feet above sea level over geological time.
Despite the new findings, there is still no conclusive evidence that the Durupinar Formation is actually Noah’s Ark. Most archaeologists and geologists continue to regard it as a natural geological formation, although investigations of the site are ongoing.
