· by Ancient Origins
An Ancient Origins fact-check rated as unverified the idea that wood sent for carbon dating from Durupınar will show the formation is Noah's Ark, while rating as established that fragments were sent to labs.
Details
The piece, by Aris Manus, says reports conflict on whether the wood is charred or petrified and give no confirmed location or depth, that a radiocarbon date shows only when an organism died, and that whether the formation is natural rock remains disputed.
