Claim Disputed What does “Disputed” mean?
David Fasold publishes The Ark of Noah
· by David Fasold
David Fasold's book argued the Durupınar formation is the fossilised remains of the Ark and linked a nearby peak locally called Cudi to the Qur'an's al-Jūdī.
What is claimed
Durupınar is the fossilised Ark; nearby standing stones are drogue anchors; a nearby peak is the Qur'an's al-Jūdī.
What is established
Fasold co-authored a 1996 paper concluding the formation is natural and the stones local andesite.
Details
Wikipedia says the Cudi place-name link is controversial and not well supported by local toponymy.
