Hunting for Noah's Ark in 2026 (E391)
Noah’s Ark has been discovered. Again. This time, the claim involves underground scans, a boat-shaped formation in Turkey, and a publicity campaign promising evidence that could vindicate Genesis.
Travis, Jake, and Julian investigate Andrew Jones and Noah’s Ark Scans, the latest effort to establish the Durupınar formation near Mount Ararat as the remains of the biblical vessel. Jones’s fascination began with the extraordinary claims of amateur archaeologist Ron Wyatt, who also claimed to discover the Ark of the Covenant, Goliath’s sword, and the dried blood of Jesus. Today, Andrew Jones is trying to find the Ark with modern surveying equipment and help spreading the word from Lauren Witzke and Edward Szall.
Along the way, we examine the flexible measurements used to make the formation fit the description of the Ark in the Book of Genesis, why this crew is so invested in finding physical proof of the Ark, and whether the Bible even says that the final resting place of the Ark is Mount Ararat.

0,00002 percent of people saying they are biblical litteralists would be a problematicly high number. You amerikans are lost☹️
Former archaeologist, current paleontologist, thank you for making me mad 😡🤣
Loved this episode. I attended a pentecostal literalist church in my youth and went off to university intending to become a biblical archaeologist. Feels like a fever dream now 😂
Genuinely incredible that he effectively says; “Realizing that our vote for pedophile hitler caused the world to fall into chaos, we felt uncomfortable. Instead of confronting that, we chose to escape into a childish fantasy and hunt for big magic boat.”
Noah's ark scams. (Sorry)
Julian, stop picking on/derailing Travis, I mean it 😠
The animated movie “Spriggan” is about an agent from a secret organisation trying to stop the military from finding Noah’s Ark. I feel like Jake would get a kick out of it.
Man...a nice simple idiot ep is really a relief. I can just relax in the glow of a bunch of morons out i turkey wasting their lives.
The Literature&History podcast has some great episode about the Mesopotamian origins of the flood myth and they are so much weirder than the old testament ones.
American Christians have such a weird relationship with biblical literalism especially now that lines of denominations blur a lot. I grew up in a seventh day adventist church (an admittedly very progressive one) and I was never taught that biblical stories were anything other than allegory for the purpose of teaching. I also grew up around many southern baptists and Methodists that shouldn’t have been literalists given their denominations that absolutely were. The actually theological arguments that created all these different sects basically don’t matter anymore.
Oh no no you misheard me, my company is Noah’s Ark *Scams*
what a great episode and what a great day to be raised by young earth creationists! i'm totally normal now thanks!
The poop situation on the Ark is even worse than what the popular telling would imply, because the Bible says that there weren’t just 2 pairs of each animal– there were 7 pairs of ritually clean animals and 2 pairs of the ritually unclean ones, so that Noah would have enough ritually clean animals to make a burnt offering after the waters of the flood subsided. Unfortunately, we don’t know if the criteria for clean/unclean animals were the same pre-Flood as they were post-Flood so there’s uncertainty in the amount of extra poop, but I think we can assume it was significant. Also, these bozos and their certainty that the Ark was boat-shaped: it is literally described as an “Ark”, a box-like container for sacred objects, like the very Ark of the Covenant mentioned. We have many examples of arks from real archaeological digs from all around the Middle East! They insist on a literal reading of their scriptures and ignore what it is telling them in plain language when it conflicts with the ideas they picked up from popular media. Also also, we have no idea what the “gopher wood”, out of which the Ark was supposedly constructed, actually was
Why is "it's ship shaped" so funny
Mount Ararat is about five miles from my house in NE Pennsylvania. Gonna do some ark huntin this weekend.
Well, how did it go?
The phrase “god laid it on their heart” is so fascinating. It’s like “no, this annoying hyperfixation manic episode is actually god speaking through me, and if you’re not 100% into it, you’re actually fighting the lord his-self”. I would like to ask these people if god is the source of all thoughts or just some of them? How do you know when god has laid something on your heart or if you’re experiencing schizophrenia?
What was the audio from the auto que taken from? I have a vague memory of a melted show on the history channel.

It's chill, it's fresh, it's Noah's Arcade.
By the way, there are way more interesting archaeological sites in Turkey. Anyone else heard of Göbekli Tepe ? Genuinely worth investigating from a serious perspective as inevitably the ancient alien grifters such as GramCock are on to it .🧐
I’m pretty sure the guys have covered this in previous episodes about ancient aliens. TBH, I doubt there’s a conspiracy theory they haven’t covered in their 8 year history.
Jake is 7 ft what? Is he one of the nephilim ?! 😃
Great episode again as well ,folks ! 👍
They're digging in the wrong place!
If you still did Jake stories, he could have done a riff on The Thing set at the Ark site.
I was obsessed with books at my crizzo primary school with the niche subgenre of pre-flood Christian sci-fi lol loved this episode
PLEASE write a story about giant spiders in Noah's Ark!
The Michael Flynn voice returns! Do we need a sequel Jake story about Flynn hunting for the Ark?
I’m surprised the ancient alieners never claimed Noah’s ark. Pulling the ark scenario off would be a lot more implausible than building the pyramids.
Unicorn threesome? Good to hear Jules is playing Witcher 3 again
A unicorn is slang for the third in a threesome a swinger couple picks up lol
"the feces of 12 thousand species" did not get enough recognition
as someone who produces a morning show, you are better but we're not as bad as you may think
The ultimate irony of this episode is that the recent Indiana Jones game has a direct connection to Noah's Ark so Jake missed out on a video game episode.
Was literally putting this on asking, "What game could Jake possibly compare this to?"
This whole thing is very reminiscent or creationists looking for dinosaurs in the Congo due to a presumption at finding a living dinosaur will disproved evolution.
I’m shorry boy
😁😆😂
🤣❤️🤣❤️ this had me cackling like a witch ❤️🤣❤️🤣
Welcome back General Flynn 🦅🇺🇲🫡🇺🇲🦅
I swear every time y'all said "Ark Hunting" I heard "our cunting". Now it's the same in my head. I got kicked out of Bible School in the early 90s because I asked too many questions about the logistics of Noah's Ark
I read that as "out cunting"
At least we got the 80s anime film, Angel's Egg out of the Noah's Ark story
Most of the US Christians aren’t biblical literalists because they can’t read.
Classic Trio Ep
Hell yeah
