35 Scientists Searching for Noah’s Ark Arrives at Sinop

However, Prof. Onder Bilgi, a faculty member of Istanbul University, claims that Ballard and his team are not after Noah’s Flood but natural sources. A member of the search team, Frederic Hiebert of the University of Pennsylvania, told the press that the team would be searching at depths of nearly 300 to 400 meters to find the foundation of a building that had disappeared about 7,600 years ago, the estimated time of the Flood.

Bilgi argues that the team’s claims are contrary to scientific data. He said that foreigners coming to the region at a time when oil searches were in progress in Sinop raised all sorts of suspicions.
