Pottery fragments discovered near the alleged resting place of Noah’s Ark on Turkey’s Mount Ararat have reignited interest in the site’s archaeological significance. Prof. Dr. Faruk Kaya reported that these ceramics, dating from 5500 BC to 3000 BC, suggest human activity during the time traditionally linked to Noah.

Calls for protection of the site have increased due to concerns about tourists removing materials, potentially harming its archaeological value.
