Expedition Debunked What does “Debunked” mean?
Wyatt, Fasold and Baumgardner survey Durupınar with radar
· by Ron Wyatt, David Fasold
Ron Wyatt, David Fasold and geophysicist John Baumgardner surveyed the formation with ground-penetrating radar and a "frequency generator", reporting a regular internal structure.
What is claimed
Radar showed a regular internal structure and a length of 538 ft, close to 300 royal Egyptian cubits; nearby stones were drogue anchors.
What is established
Creationist geologist Andrew Snelling said the frequency generator was used like divining rods; Collins and Fasold (1996) found the anchor stones were local andesite and the supposed iron fittings natural minerals, and Fasold testified to his doubts in 1997.
Details
Status refers to the specific 1985 claims (internal structure, iron fittings, drogue stones). Per Wikipedia's David Fasold article, researchers David Allen Deal and Robert Michelson and biographer June Dawes reported that before his 1998 death Fasold again said the site was the Ark.
