Noah’s Ark Researcher Reveals DEATH Threats, Stunning New Radar Findings
As we reported here, Andrew Jones came to CBN News a week ago to ask the doubters of his Noah's Ark project for patience. His new interview is a much darker conversation.
Jones, the founder of Noah's Ark Scans, describes what happened after his team announced it had secured a permit to investigate the Durupinar formation, the boat-shaped outcrop in eastern Turkey that lies south of Mount Ararat. Strangers pounded on his door in the middle of the night and threatened to kill him. He left the apartment, and when he returned it had been burglarized, with equipment and drives taken. Who was behind it is not clear, and the video's own description says so plainly.
The second half moves from the apartment to the ground. Jones walks through new radar results from the site, underground anomalies that, according to the description, researchers see falling into organized patterns. He also explains why he thinks the latest scans cut against the view that the formation is simply solid rock. Geologists who studied the site in earlier decades have largely called it a natural formation, and that is exactly the question his team's scans are meant to test.
The site has been part of the Ark search for a long time. Ron Wyatt, an American amateur archaeologist, promoted it from the late 1970s on. His name runs all through the comments, where several viewers point out that people were calling this formation the Ark decades ago. The most liked comments, though, are prayers for Jones's safety.
The interview passed 200,000 views in its first nine hours. A new CBN News video usually ends its whole first day near 23,000. In the same nine hours it drew close to six hundred comments, against about thirty on a typical first day. The channel's two reports on the FlyDubai flight plot, posted the same day, also ran well ahead of the usual. Even so, the Ark drew the biggest crowd of CBN's day.
