Questions for the Durupinar 'Expedition'

@peterpeccavi has some excellent questions for the Durupinar Expedition team who have just prematurely announced the results of their fieldwork

Meanwhile another comment to the team seems to me just as perceptive...

The Ethiopian Bible Scam

 

Matt Whitman, 'Amazon is Selling Fake Bibles (The Ethiopian Bible Scam)',   Aug 26, 2026

"Fake AI slop Ethiopian Bibles on Amazon's bestselling Bible charts. If you have interest in books that aren't a part of the core-66 biblical canon, don't get tricked by scammers".

 Good point:  

The US Durupinar Expedition's "Rock Scanner" Finds "Petrified Wood" Rock

"Died Suddenly" (@DiedSuddenly_ 15/9/2016) writes

" Died Suddenly is proud to be an official partner of this world-shaking scientific study".

 But, ah, ... "This one came back as haematite", uh-oh. Guess they don't learn much about rocks in US schools...

So the US expedition's off to a good start, with full MAGA-professionalism. 

US Biblical Literalists Go to Turkey to Sit on a Rock and Fantasise.

This stridently racist, xenophobic MAGA-christin lady seems to've bought new blue jeans and a new Meryka-meryka top to join an archaeological project in Turkey: (@LaurenWitzkeDE 15 Sept 2026)

Earlier this year in a landmark decision, Turkish officials voted unanimously to give a group of American Christians permits to study the remains of Noah’s Ark.

It’s been the greatest pleasure of my life to be a part of one of the most important scientific expeditions in world history (sic). American exploration in the Mountains of Ararat where creation (sic) began anew.

It’s been so surreal. The evidence is overwhelming. It’s all real. The Bible is real, the global catastrophic flood happened… and the researchers and scientists at Noah’s Ark Scans are going to prove it to the world.

The Durupınar investigation is a joint project between Noah’s Ark Scans and Prof. Dr. Cenker Atila, Professor of Archaeology at Sivas Cumhuriyet University in Turkey, who serves as President of the project./

GPR and ERT scans are finding organized corridors and patterns, and what appears to be a massive vessel beneath the surface with 3 tiers or layers.

Soil samples consistent with decomposing wood.

This is NOT a rock formation. Keep in mind it’s over 4000 years old and buried in mudflow.

Please consider chipping in to help us make the evidence irrefutable, and bring down the demonic teachings of evolution and Darwinism.

"GPR and ERT scans are finding organized corridors and patterns..." No, they are not. They are more likely finding fissures in a rock slab. Drawing outlines on a printout with a sharpie does not change the evidence - just the extent of your self-delusion. Duh.

"....and what appears to be a massive vessel beneath the surface with 3 tiers or layers", er, n-o-o-o.... It shows a slab of rock.

"Soil samples consistent with decomposing wood". Or donkey shit, bat shit, decomposing dead grass, actually anything with organic carbon in it [actually READ the report with the understanding high school sciences gave you]. 

"This is NOT a rock formation"  It sure as hell is not wood.

"Keep in mind it’s over 4000 years old and buried in mudflow". That all-American 'dating' comes from what?

Her illustration of this bowl-shaped round-bottomed vessel with no keel is from 2017 not a 2026 expedition:

Note the research agenda "to make the evidence irrefutable, and bring down the demonic teachings of evolution and Darwinism". The Noah's Ark story is related to neither of those things. What do they teach them in US schools? Critical thinking apparently not a lot.

It's the Fault of the Illuminati and their Bicycles?

Guess which site this is about?
I_Am_CyberSmith ( @I_Am_CyberSmith 6:13 PM Sep 9, 2026)

The Turkish government has closed part of the site off.

The Illuminati don't want us to learn about the Previous Cycles.

If we knew how they did It before, we might stop them from doing It again.

Archaeologists used to be independently wealthy aristocrats, answerable to nobody. But now, they are people like @internet_hottie with modest means, dependent on grant money, in a field that doesn't directly produce any revenue. This makes them vulnerable to institutional capture.

They know they will lose funding if they tell us the truth about Atlantis, Nephilim, and the Mudfloods that buried Tartaria.

Where could one even begin to address this?

Another Pseudoarchaeology get-together

Quest for Ancient Civilizations Austin 2026 "The Quest for the Future — The Future is Ancient".

Quest for Ancient Civilizations brings together researchers, authors, and explorers in a 3-day conference on lost civilizations, forbidden archaeology, and the questions mainstream research won't touch — in one room, with an audience that actually wants the answers (Austin, Texas USA, October 16–18, 2026). "Featuring the voices rewriting history: David Hatcher Childress; Randall Carlson; Billy Carson; Dan Richards (DeDunker); Hugh Newman; JJ Ainsworth; Drew Brophy; Duncan Trussell; Kurt Metzger; Tyler Engle; Dr. Heather Lynn; Brent Pella; Enrique Chaug; James Vieria + More TBA".
