Deep beneath the mysterious boat-shaped Durupanar formation in eastern Turkey, researchers investigating the possible remains of Noah’s Ark have lowered a camera into a narrow bore hole, searching for evidence of what they believe could be the vessel’s outer hull.
The research team reports encountering a possible underground cavity approximately 15 to 16 ft below the surface with water detected deeper inside the bore hole.
Now, Above the Norm News has obtained the full 8-minute recording directly from the Noah’s Ark Scans team, and we’re going to show it to you completely unedited.
The footage is difficult to interpret.
This is a camera looking down a narrow drill hole, not a clear view of a large underground chamber, but it offers a rare opportunity to see exactly what investigators were examining beneath the formation.
[music] Researchers believe the surrounding material could be connected to an unusual outer layer detected during their underground surveys.
Whether that layer is geological or part of an [music] ancient structure remains to be determined.
What you’re about to see is the original footage without cuts, enhancements, or added effects.
Here is the full 8-minute borehole inspection from the Durupanar investigation.
Words count.
Yeah.
[music] So, here we go.
So, you ready?
We can go do it a couple times, but Ready?
Yeah.
Okay, we’re going to go.
So, this hole here, we actually hit a void full of mud and water.
Okay.
Yeah.
And so, the the the reason we went into this one drilled at this location is because on the ERT scans, we had the a really distinct layer different from the surrounding soil that Larson, the New Zealand guy who did the ERT scans in 2014, [music] he thought could be the halt.
It was coming up through this area, right?
Kind of angled up and so it was capturing mud and water.
Yeah.
So something here that we wanted to sample with our core drilling.
It was the easiest access without spending a lot of money on through charge per meter.
Sure.
To get to those layers.
So yeah, I got to try to do this without getting dirty airport.
Slowly go down.
So we we’re down uh not counting this area here, we’re down 3.3 ft.
Yep.
I can see the Oh, look at that.
Light of color.
Four.
There you go.
46.
Yeah, [music] the bowels of the ship.
There you go.
And we’ll give you this file so you can integrate it.
Oh, look at that.
So, there’s little bit of a shimmer there.
Is that water?
Yeah, that’s what I was wondering.
6 ft.
Well, it’s waterproof.
It’s a sewer camera.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We’ll go into the water and see if we Well, yeah.
I see a shimmer down below down there.
Yeah.
Further.
Let’s see how far we get before we hit the water.
Yep.
Almost 7 ft.
[music] So, I can move.
Only bad thing at this design of this camera, you can’t tilt the head, right?
Hangs with gravity.
[music and singing] Yeah.
It’s really strong cable.
So, we can’t I wanted [music] to try to get to the other side, but I can turn it a little bit.
Not really.
Okay.
Hang it to that side to slowly go down.
I haven’t done this with this hole.
This is the first time I’ve seen they’ve used the other camera from uh Carlson, [music] but uh not with mine, so this is good.
[music] Try to go slower so we get a better view of the Wow.
About 9 ft.
9 ft down.
The water is still down there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It’s getting close to that water.
Yeah.
Oh, there it is.
Like 10 10 ft about 3 m.
I don’t know.
Not yet.
This is crazy.
It’s 11 11.5.
Look at the There’s some grass that’s falling in.
Yeah.
[music] That is a ways down there.
12.2 cuz the circle’s really small for the water.
[music] Okay.
Okay.
I thought it was closer to the surface, but here we go.
Look at that sight [music] stuff on the sides.
Yeah.
Hop over that.
There we go.
There we go.
13 and 1/2 ft.
Got the LED lights illuminating it.
[music] It’s pretty deep in the side.
We got down to 15 ft, guys.
15.6.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Look at this area.
Kind of opens up right here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can see it opens to the left.
Yeah.
Oh, I wish I could turn the head.
It opens in this way.
There’s a cavity.
Well, I don’t know which way, actually.
I assume it’s this way, but maybe it’s that way.
I don’t know what the angle is.
[music] Wow.
Oh, wow.
So, that is Yeah.
It opens up.
I I can’t turn the camera into it.
I didn’t know that.
[music] That’s 16 ft down.
Yeah.
Okay.
Does it keep going?
[music] I wish we could turn that camera.
Oh gosh.
So, there was a [music] void somewhere.
Yeah.
At the 15 ft.
16 ft.
So, we’re past the void.
And now we’re really getting close to this water source.
There it is.
There.
Yeah.
[music] Wow.
There it is.
It looks kind of uh fily like Yeah, it does look like oily film or something.
Yeah, but I know we got some samples of the mud so I’m not you [music] know I don’t Yeah, who knows what it is but it might just be debris on the surface.
Yes.
Yeah.
Or the water.
But uh I don’t want to I could put the camera in the water.
I guess it’s supposed to be waterproof.
I think should [music] we try it?
Yeah.
Here we go, guys.
A sewer cam.
So now Oh yeah, but she fish [laughter] now fish bone would be interesting.
So that’s 19 ft through the water.
Wow.
We’re going to find what’s at the bottom of this.
Look at that.
Okay, let’s get [music] past.
I’m trying to go slow so I don’t create uh mud.
What would you call it?
Yeah, silt in the water.
[music] It’s almost 20 ft now.
You know what?
That might be the end.
I I don’t remember.
I’ve looked at the notes what [music] the uh C Yeah, just over 20.
You’re hitting bottom.
Yeah, it feels like [music] it’s hitting Well, no.
Might just be mud.
Oh, look at that.
There’s a cloud of materials creating there.
We can get past it.
You know, obviously it’s going to be water all the way through, but Mhm.
[music] We’re down 21 ft.
Still going.
[music] The silt system is Okay, there it won’t go anymore.
Oh, no.
Jeez.
I don’t know how deep they drilled here.
22 1/2 ft.
I thought it was uh 15 m to be 45 ft.
It might have been less.
Okay, you got it.
Yeah.
25 mud.
Yeah.
Wow.
25 ft.
Wow.
Down.
That’s into the this mountain side.
Okay.
Uh Andrew, you said you drilled down there and this is where you found the cavity full of water.
Yeah.
Right.
We’re in the water right now.
Water.
Yeah.
And that that’s where we’re at right here as well.
This is the one that has the water.
Okay.
Yeah, I was reading about that.
Let me go do that.
Yeah.
So, but before we got to the water, there was a cavity that went I’m assuming this way, but you can’t tell with the camera.
It opened up on one of the sides.
Wow.
Uh so, if you had that um the other systems for the military, it would actually give you the orientation and the direction.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh this one won’t.
So, we’re going to now uh just pull it back up.
It’s going to be muddy, but that’s okay.
And when you eventually be able to send the the robot down this hole and expand or will different No, we actually expanded um a number of holes already for the robot, but it didn’t hit a cavity like this one.
Oh, okay.
So, we put the robot into a side cavity that was natural.
Okay, we’re out of the water.
Out of the water.
Yeah.
14 ft.
That goes a lot faster going up.
[music] So that cavity was what?
Remember was that silent?
No, I think we pissed missed it.
The cavity.
Yeah, passed it.
That’s dirty.
The camera.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We don’t we’re not seeing much.
There it is.
The end.
[music] Hello guys.
Wow.
We’ll have to clean the in the back of the visitor center.
Yeah, I’ll put this so it doesn’t unhook.
I’ll turn off.
That is really wild.
[music] There we go.
Hit off.
Turn off record.
