There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Like I said, this topic is dependent on archaeology (hence tombs or graves) and theories, so here are additional graves or tombs of interest, and note how long they are:

1) Habil (Abel, the son of Adam and Eve who was murdered by his brother Qabil (Cain) in Abrahamic belief), in the area of Wadi Baradah in Syria (northwest of Damascus, near the border with Lebanon): https://www.arabamerica.com/searching-en...bels-tomb/https://www.islamiclandmarks.com/syria/tomb-of-habil

2) Shayth (Seth, who was born after the murder of his brother Abel, and succeeded Adam as the leader of his family), in the village of Al-Nabi Shayth (النبي شيث, meaning "The Prophet Seth"), in Beqa' Valley and Ba'albek District (eastern Lebanon, near the border with Syria):

There is more to it than just graves (which have to be analysed). Mount Tendürek (or Al-Judiy, credit: M. Fikret Yilmaz, 22nd of August 2007) in the Ağrı and Van provinces of eastern Turkey, close to the borders with Iran, has a large aggregate (thus natural) structure in the shape of a ship, known as the "Durupınar site": https://noahsfloodnoahsark.wordpress.com...ount-judi/

*This image is copyright of its original author


Obviously, this is not a ship (hence it is not Noah's ark, contrary to what people have said), and despite the fact that there are no archaeological remains which point to a ship having been there (like wooden bits), an issue which Lorence G. Collins of the Department of Geological Sciences, California State University (Northridge), had mentioned in Page 2 is the fact that it is shaped like like a boat, besides that it measures about 515 feet (156.972 m, a bit like what the Book of Genesis (6: 14–16) in the Old Testament Bible said about Noah's Ark): http://www.csun.edu/~vcgeo005/Sutton%20Hoo%2014.pdf

So the question is:

Why is this natural rock formation in the shape of a ship, with measurements that more or less correspond to the Biblical description of Noah's Ark, as if a ship of such dimensions had once been there, despite the lack of objects (like wooden parts of a boat) which could have served as archaeological evidence for the ship's presence?

However, as mentioned by this wordpress, the Durupınar site on Mount Tendürek is not the only site that was considered to be the resting-place of Noah's Ark (if not being the ark itself). Another eastern Turkish volcano to the north which was emphasised by Christians, that is Mount Ararat, has a large, ship-like anomaly (when viewed from a certain angle), and with a length-to-width ration of 6:1 (which is like what the Bible depicts about the ratio for the ark), but about twice as long as the Durupınar site, measuring 1,015 feet (309 metres) across, according to Rod Franz of SunTek Media Group / RiteImage, Inc. (located in Henderson, Nevada): https://www.livescience.com/611-satellit...stery.html

A panoramic image of Mount Ararat, with the anomaly circled in red by researcher Porcher Taylor, and taken on December 20, 1973, by the CIA's KH-9 Hexagon (a.k.a. Keyhole-9) satellite and since declassified:
