Scientists uncover ancient map pointing to Noah's Ark location in Turkey

Scientists have deciphered a 3,000-year-old Babylonian tablet, revealing a map that points to the location of 'Noah's Ark' on a mountain in Turkey. This ancient artifact, known as the Imago Mundi, features wedge-shaped symbols and descriptions of the world. The tablet includes instructions for travelers, indicating they must pass through 'seven leagues' to find a vessel described as a 'parsiktu.' This term relates to the size of a boat needed to survive a great flood, similar to the Biblical account. Researchers suggest the map leads to 'Urartu,' the Assyrian equivalent of 'Ararat,' where the ark is said to have landed. The findings connect Babylonian and Biblical flood narratives, although interpretations of the ark's existence vary among scholars.
