  • Tomb of Noah in the city of Cizre, Turkey on the Tigris River, north of where Iraq, Turkey and Syria meet. The image shows the Tomb of Noah (Hz. Nuh Turbasi) mausoleum complex, located within the courtyard of the Nabi Nuh Mosque in the city center of Cizre, Sirnak Province, southeastern Turkey. The square structure features external blue-and-white tilework and is capped by a distinct metal conical dome roof over the subterranean vault. Local regional tradition holds this site to be the true final burial place of the biblical and Quranic patriarch Noah, given the city's close geographic proximity to Mount Judi (Cebel-i Cudi), where the Ark is traditionally believed to have finally rested after the great deluge.

  • Some believe Durupinar, a large aggregate structure in Mount Tendurek of eastern Turkey is the original Noah's Ark site. The image shows the Durupinar site, a large boat-shaped geological formation located in the Tendurek Mountains near the village of Uzengili, Dogubayazit District, Agri Province, eastern Turkey. Discovered in 1959 by Turkish army captain Ilhan Durupinar, the site gained international fame after amateur archaeologist Ron Wyatt and others promoted it as the petrified remains of Noah's Ark. It sits roughly 18 miles (29 km) south of the summit of Mount Ararat. Today, the area functions as a protected national park and features a small visitor center overlooking the formation.
