(FOX NEWS) – A group of international researchers say they’re
getting closer and closer to identifying the possible remains of
Noah’s Ark – and new test results are promising.

The focus of the research, the Durupinar site in eastern Turkey,
was first identified in the 1950s.

For decades, it’s been speculated that the boat-shaped site
once harbored Noah’s Ark, but no definitive proof has emerged.

Now, an organization called Noah’s Ark Scans believes that
recent soil samples point toward the site once housing "ancient
wood."

Researchers collected soil samples from the site last September
and analyzed them through this winter. The results "show
significantly higher levels of organic matter and potassium
compared to surrounding areas."

According to a recent statement from the organization,
"[The results] provide compelling evidence of a unique,
potentially man-made structure beneath the surface, distinct
from the surrounding mudflow."

The statement added, "these findings suggest the presence of
decayed wood or other organic materials, consistent with a large,
ancient structure preserved within the mudflow."

(FOX NEWS) – Pope Francis died Monday of a stroke and cardiac arrest, according to an announcement from the Vatican. He was 88.

(FOX NEWS) – Archaeologists recently unveiled a series of
strange, centuries-old inscriptions at the site believed to
be the location of the Last Supper – just in time for Easter.

The Room of the Last Supper, also known as the Cenacle,
is located on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. The hall was built
by the Crusaders in the 12th century, though pilgrims have
venerated the site as early as the 4th century.

The recent discovery was announced by the Austrian
Academy of Science (OeAW) on April 16, with the help
of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA).

Archaeologists identified some 40 elements of graffiti,
including five coats of arms.
