Scientists have recently unlocked the secrets of the world’s oldest map, a 3,000-year-old clay tablet known as the Imago Mundi, which is believed to show the location of Noah’s Ark. The ancient Babylonian artifact, etched with cuneiform—a script using wedge-shaped symbols—has puzzled archaeologists for centuries. Discovered in what is now Iraq in 1882, the tablet is housed at the British Museum, where it has become one of its famous collections.

The Imago Mundi depicts a circular world map, illustrating early Babylonian ideas about the world’s creation. The map is thought to show the entire known world at the time, with Mesopotamia at the bottom center.

This ancient Babylonian artifact deeply puzzled researchers for many years.

But now the code has been cracked, and the reverse side of the artifact contains incredibly stunning information…

On the reverse side of the artifact, passages reportedly provide a guide describing what a traveler would encounter on their journey, including a path to “Urartu” and specific instructions on how to get there. One passage says: “To the fourth, to which you must travel seven leagues.” Another passage reportedly instructs those on the journey to go through “seven leagues to see something that is thick as a parsiktu-vessel.”

The term “parsiktu” appears on other ancient Babylonian tablets, referencing the scale of a vessel meant to withstand the legendary Great Flood. Researchers believe that Urartu, also known as Ararat, is linked to an ancient Mesopotamian poem recounting a family who, like Noah, landed their ark to preserve life following the 150-day flood. As the flooding ended, they were safely stationed at one of the peaks of Urartu, which aligns with “Ararat,” the Hebrew term for the mountain where Noah’s Ark is said to have come to rest after the flood.

I was floored when I first saw this.

According to Dr. Finkel, there is no doubt that Ararat “is the Hebrew equivalent of the Assyrian ‘Urartu’”…

“The first place you come to is called ‘Urartu’, it’s drawn on the map. Now, the interesting thing about that is that in the Bible Noah, in his Ark, landed on a mountain where the name is ‘Ararat’ and ‘Ararat’ is the Hebrew equivalent of the Assyrian ‘Urartu’. That’s quite a meaty thing, quite an interesting thing to think about because it shows that the story was the same, and of course that one led to the other but also, that from the Babylonian point of view, this was a matter of fact thing,” said Finkel.

He added, “If you did go on this journey, you would see the remnants of this historic boat which saved all the life of the world for the long-term future.”

This is one of the biggest archaeological bombshells in history, and the British Museum has released a video in which Dr. Finkel shares more details about this remarkable discovery.

So if Noah’s Ark really did come to rest in Urartu, is it still there?

If you go to that region today, there is a geological formation that matches the exact dimensions of Noah’s Ark that we are given in the Bible almost perfectly…

It’s hard to ignore the striking shape of the Durupinar formation. From the ground, the site appears as an enormous, 538-foot-long mound, tapering to a point much like the bow of a ship.

For decades, this feature alone has drawn adventurers, scientists, and Ark enthusiasts to the region, hoping that this natural wonder could be the key to unlocking the truth behind one of the Bible’s most enduring stories.

The physical characteristics of the site align closely with the biblical description of the Ark: “A length of three hundred cubits, a width of fifty cubits, and a height of thirty cubits.”

In order to determine the approximate age of the formation, scientists tested nearly 30 samples of rock and soil that were gathered from the site…

Was it merely a natural formation, or could it truly be the petrified remains of the legendary Ark?

In order to answer this, the researchers began collecting nearly 30 samples of soil and rock from the site, each carefully chosen to help unlock the geological secrets of the mound.

The scientific tests determined that the samples of rock and soil were “between 3,500 and 5,000 years old”, and this matches what we would expect if Noah’s Ark really is sitting inside the Durupinar formation…

Their analysis, conducted at Istanbul Technical University, aimed to determine the formation’s age and composition, focusing on identifying signs of ancient human presence or evidence suggesting the area had once been submerged underwater.

The samples’ initial dating places them between 3,500 and 5,000 years old, coinciding with the biblical timeline of Noah’s flood, according to the report. The team also discovered clay-like substances and marine materials within the soil.

Of course that is not all of the evidence that we have that this really could be the resting place of Noah’s Ark.

Ground-penetrating radar has revealed “intriguing angular structures” that are “not typically associated with natural geological formations”…

In the period between the 1970s to the mid-1990s, interest in this peculiar site surged, thanks in large part to the exploration and research efforts of American adventurer and researcher, Ron Wyatt, and a team of Turkish scientists. More recent investigations carried out in 2014 and 2019 by independent private geophysical survey teams have further contributed to the intrigue surrounding the Durupinar formation. These studies, using ground-penetrating radar (GPR), unveiled subterranean layers and intriguing angular structures, characteristics not typically associated with natural geological formations.

To me, the images that ground-penetrating radar have produced are quite conclusive.

And we know that large amounts of petrified wood are inside the Durupinar formation.

In fact, I personally know someone that made a journey to the Durupinar formation many years ago and touched the petrified wood of the Ark with his own hands.

I very much hope that the Durupinar formation will be carefully excavated during the years ahead, because I want the whole world to see that the Ark really is there.

Needless to say, so many other historical accounts in the Bible have also been confirmed by archaeologists in recent years.  In fact, as I point out in my new book, archaeology and the Bible have never contradicted one another…

In our time, archaeologists have made all sorts of amazing discoveries in the Middle East, but none of those discoveries has ever contradicted any information that we have in the Bible.  Archaeologist Dr. Nelson Glueck once stated that “no archaeological discovery has ever controverted a Biblical reference”, and he was one of the most highly regarded archaeologists on the entire planet.

Another very highly regarded archaeologist, Dr. John Ora Kinnaman, also had a tremendous amount of respect for the accuracy of the Bible.  He once said that “of the hundreds of thousands of artifacts found by the archeologists, not one has ever been discovered that contradicts or denies one word, phrase, clause, or sentence of the Bible, but always confirms and verifies the facts of the biblical record”.

What will it take for the skeptics to finally admit the truth?

When the Bible speaks on matters of history, it is always accurate.

As for Noah’s Ark, it still exists and it is waiting to be excavated.

Please pray that an excavation will be allowed by the appropriate authorities before it is too late.

In fact, I come across nonsense all the time that is flat out false.  In this day and age, deception is coming at us from all angles, and it is so important to think critically.  Just because someone says that something is true does not make it true.  And just because someone says that something is false does not make it false.

Ultimately, we all need to do our own research and come to our own conclusions.  In this article, I will discuss 3 “conspiracy theories” which have just been confirmed.

#1 Mainstream Media Organizations Really Did Use Video Footage And Photographs From Reporters That Were Embedded With Hamas On October 7th

There were “photojournalists” that were embedded with Hamas forces during the October 7th terror attacks, and major news organizations in the United States used “footage and photos” from those “photojournalists” in their coverage of the events…

The latest ghoulish development following the slaughter of 1,400 Jews in the Oct. 7 Israeli attack on Israel is quite a shocker.

The AP, CNN, Reuters, and The New York Times used footage and photos from reporters embedded with Hamas terrorists during their slaughter of hundreds of Jews.

These Western media outlets then posted the photos in their coverage of this horrendous surprise attack on Israel.

Just when it seems like the mainstream media can’t sink any lower, somehow they find a way to do so.

So did any of these news organizations have advance knowledge that the attacks were going to take place?

Now that this story has gotten out, the Israeli government “is demanding answers”…

The Israeli government is demanding answers from western media outlets including CNN, Reuters, The Associated Press and The New York Times following a media watchdog report that suggested freelance photographers they each hired may have been embedded with Hamas on October 7th.

The issue – highlighted by Honest Reporting – concerns four freelance photographers from Gaza whose works have been published by the media outlets.

One of the “photojournalists” that has been identified is a man named Hassan Eslaiah.

In one video, he can be seen riding toward the site of a massacre with a grenade in his hand…

There is now video of Hassan Eslaiah riding the back of a bike on the way to a kibbutz massacre.

Eslaiah is seen carrying a grenade.

It certainly appears that Hassan Eslaiah wasn’t just there to report on the attacks.

Needless to say, the mainstream news outlets that had worked with these “photojournalists” are denying any prior knowledge of the attacks and it is being reported that they have cut all ties with them…

All four outlets deny having any prior knowledge of the Hamas attack and insist they have cut ties with the reporters. The New York Times today hit out at Honest Reporting for its ‘vague insinuations’, defending the photographer it had hired.

But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other cabinet ministers are demanding more information.

Hopefully this story will not be brushed under the rug, because we definitely need more answers.

#2 When A Major Sex Trafficking Operation Gets Busted, None Of The Powerful Men That Paid For Sex Is Held Accountable

Have you noticed that none of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients was ever charged with anything?

Jeffrey Epstein arranged for very powerful men to sleep with underage girls for many years, and yet not a single one of those men has ever been held accountable by our courts. And of course Jeffrey Epstein is no longer around to point a finger at anyone. Well, now a similar case is making news.

Authorities have arrested three men that were running “high-end brothels” in Massachusetts and Virginia…

A network of “sophisticated” high-end brothels in greater Boston and eastern Virginia provided sex for pay to “elected officials, high tech and pharmaceutical executives, doctors, military officers, government contractors that possess security clearances, professors,” and others, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

“Pick a profession, they are probably represented in this case,” said acting U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Joshua Levy at a press conference announcing the arrests of three people in connection with operating the pricey sex shops.

During the investigation, it was discovered that all potential clients of the brothel were required to provide very specific identifying information…

Any potential “client” was required to complete a form on the websites with their names, email address, phone number and employer in a so-called verification process before proceeding. After verification and conversation with the brothel via phone, prosecutors say that the sex buyers agreed to meet at various places described as “Target Locations,” or high-end apartments.

Authorities now have all of this information, and they are telling us that the list of clients includes a lot of very powerful men…

Prosecutors say that the high-end brothel network serviced customers working in the following professions: “politicians, pharmaceutical executives, doctors, military officers, government contractors that possess security clearances, professors, lawyers, business executives, technology company executives, scientists, accountants, retail employees, and students.”

Do you know what this means? It means that the authorities know exactly who they are. But will any of them ever actually go to trial? I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one.

#3 The Location Of Noah’s Ark

For decades, we have known that the Durupinar formation contains the remains of Noah’s Ark.If you are not familiar with the Durupinar formation, you can read what Wikipedia has to say about it right here. The formation is the correct size and shape of Noah’s Ark according to the Bible, and scans of the formation have shown that the Ark is down there.

Now, a team of researchers from universities in the United States and Turkey are telling us what they discovered after they “spent roughly a year analyzing the rock and soil” in the area.

According to the researchers, their tests show that “humans were living at the site” approximately 5,000 years ago…

Scientists excavating a large boat-shaped mound in the eastern mountains of Turkey have announced their tests on the rock and soil samples they collected at the site indicate humans were living at the site 5,000 years ago—the same time frame that some biblical scholars link to the Great Flood from the Bible’s Old Testament book of Genesis.

The research team from three Turkish and American universities has been investigating the theory that the geologic formation is actually the ruins of Noah’s Ark.

According to the test results, there were human activities in the region from 5,550 to 3,000 BC, according to Arkeonews. The mound exists in the Ararat region which was known as Urartu in the ancient past.

My hope is that they will fully excavate the site as soon as possible.

But even if the remains of Noah’s Ark are fully unveiled for all the world to see, a lot of people will still refuse to believe that it is true. And that is because most people simply believe whatever they want to believe whether the evidence supports it or not.

In my brand new book entitled “Chaos”, I share some absolutely jaw-dropping research that shows that the God of the Bible really is the one true God that created all things. Some people will read the book and will be persuaded.

Others will go to great lengths to imagine reasons why what I have written cannot be true.

In the end, we all get to choose what we want to believe.

But whether you want to believe it or not, the truth is that God really has been orchestrating celestial events and the course of human history for thousands of years.
