Claim

Giant anchor stones found in the Durupinar area of the Middle East are too large and too far from water to have been transported by normal means. They are evidence for Noah's Ark.

Responses

  1. The Bible never mentions the Ark needing anchor stones, or Noah being told to procure stones for anchors.
  2. The Bible stated that Noah's Ark was carried off by the floodwaters, and given as how it would be deposited on dry land when the Flood ended, it's not exactly clear why the Ark would need anchor stones.
  3. The anchor stones, assuming they were actually authenticated as such, would need to have some evidence to connect them with the Ark; otherwise they could have served any purpose.
  4. Mountainous areas tend to have a littering of stones and boulders; some of which could easily appear to be like anchor stones
  5. Large stones with holes in the top which appear be anchor stone were actually used in Turkish pagan rituals.
