Who are the self-appointed "Guardians of the Ark" "Noahs Ark Scans"?

My social media feeds are being swamped by incessant posts of a group calling themselves "Noahs Ark Scans" who claim to be "Guardians of the Ark".

It seems these irritating people belong to "Noah's Ark Scans", an independent, collaborative research organization dedicated to promoting the Durupınar site in ****** in eastern Turkey, which they believe is the final resting place of the biblical Noah's Ark. Often referred to in media as an American-Turkish research team, apart from maintining a media presence, they claim to be using technology like Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) and soil analysis to map potential man-made structures buried at the site. The group operates the official Noah's Ark Scans website and the popular Discovered Media YouTube channel. Their headquarters is next to the "Line-it-up" Barber shop in at 440 N Barranca Ave #3132, Covina, CA 91723, USA, some ugly urban sprawl on the northern outskirts of Los Angeles.

According to their media material, the group consists of a mix of independent researchers, technical experts, and university-affiliated scientists. Andrew Jones (Project Lead): An independent archaeological researcher (described as "archaeological", but no credentials cited) who has worked for years to bring global attention to the site. He is credited with leading the GPR studies that identified subterranean "corridors" and "rooms" consistent with a large vessel.

Dr. Salih Bayraktutan: A prominent Turkish geologist and professor who has collaborated on studies at the Durupınar site for decades. His team from Ataturk University has been instrumental in gathering and analyzing soil and rock samples from the formation.

William Crabtree: A member of the group identified as a soil scientist. He analyzes potassium levels, organic matter, and pH at the site to find evidence of decaying organic material (such as ancient wood).

Assist. Prof. Dr. Fethi Yuksel: A geophysical engineer from Istanbul University who joined the group's surveys to provide technical expertise in subsurface mapping.

Reportedly, the team partners with academics from Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University and other Turkish universities to ensure their work meets scientific standards before moving toward potential excavation.

What They Have "Found" Their primary research centers on 3D GPR scans of the 515-foot-long boat-shaped mound. They claim these scans reveal:
"Three distinct levels, matching the biblical description of the Ark's decks".
Internal angular structures and a central cavity referred to as the "atrium".
Organic material in soil samples, which they interpret as potential remains of ancient petrified or rotted wood.
While their findings have been featured by major outlets like the New York Post and CBN News, the broader scientific community remains skeptical, it is quite obvious that "the Durupınar formation" is just part of a natural geological structure created by complex folding and faulting.
