An ancient underwater city lies 85 feet below Turkey's Lake Van, near Gevaş, and may offer insights into Noah's Ark's origins. The ruins, submerged 12,000 to 14,500 years ago, could reflect the demise of an advanced civilization, possibly influencing the Great Flood story. Independent researcher Matt LaCroix argues that the sophisticated stonework suggests a civilization older than 6,000 years. The site features extensive ruins including a fortress and circular temples, yet remains largely unexplored and misattributed to known historical periods. A dive team is set to investigate the site for further insights.
LaCroix and an international dive team are preparing to explore the site in September using advanced imaging tools to map the ruins, which he believes could help rewrite humanity's timeline.
The sprawling ruins lie 85 feet below the surface near the town of Gevaş, just 150 miles from Mount Ararat, the mountain traditionally believed to be the final resting place of the biblical boat.
Geological evidence suggests that the ruins were submerged 12,000 to 14,500 years ago, when a Mount Nemrut eruption blocked the Mirat River, and caused massive flooding during the Younger Dryas, a period of extreme climate upheaval.
'As far as I'm aware, any civilizations in the last 6,000 years did not have the technological means to create the type of stonework we're seeing here,' said independent researcher Matt LaCroix.
