Ancient Underwater City Found Near Noah's Ark Site

Mysterious ruins of a lost city have been discovered beneath the waters of Lake Van in Turkey, with estimates suggesting the site is at least 11,700 years old. Divers recently captured footage of a substantial circular stone structure, an interlocking brick wall, and a causeway approximately 150 feet long.

These underwater findings are located roughly 90 miles from the Durupınar site on Mount Tendürek, a location some researchers associate with Noah's Ark. The ancient stonework suggests a civilization with advanced building capabilities.

While some archaeologists date the ruins to the Urartian or medieval periods, the dive team's geological estimates point to a much older origin. This discovery could represent a small portion of a much larger ancient complex.

The site was initially found by underwater filmmaker Tahsin Ceylan in 2017, but recent expeditions have revealed the full extent of the remarkable stonework.
