Durupinar: Perbedaan antara revisi

[[FileBerkas:The Structure Claimed to be the Noah's Ark near the Mount Ararat in Turkey.jpg|thumbjmpl|400px|Foto situs Durupınar pada tahun 2007.]]

Keunikan ukuran dan bentuk struktur ini menyebabkan sejumlah orang meyakininya sebagai bekas [[Bahtera Nuh]] yang asli. Meskipun, ada ilmuwan<ref>[http://www.andrews.edu/archaeology/archive/merling/newpage21.htm Noah's Ark]</ref> dan penganut kreasionisme,<ref>Andrew Snelling ( Special report: Amazing ‘Ark’ exposé]" ''Creation ex nihilo'' 14:4</ref> yang menganggap struktur ini hanyalah formasi alamiah yang menarik. Tempat ini terletak dekat beberapa puncak yang tidak memiliki nama resmi, meskipun penduduk setempat menyebut salah satu puncak dengan nama "'''[[Gunung Judi]]'''" (bahasa Turki: ''Cudi Dağı'', [[bahasa Kurdi]] ''Çîyaye Cûdî''), sama dengan nama gunung yang disebutkan dalam [[Al Qur'an]] sebagai tempat terakhir terdamparnya Bahtera Nuh.<ref>Fasold, di antara peneliti lain, mencatat bahwa orang Kurdi setempat menyebut salah satu puncak di dekat sana sebagai Cudi, lihat {{cite book | last = Fasold | first = David | authorlink = | title = The Ark of Noah | publisher = Wynwood | year = 1988 | location = New York | pages = 92–93 [https://archive.org/details/arkofnoah00faso/page/92 92]–93| url = https://archive.org/details/arkofnoah00faso| doi = | id = | isbn = 0-922066-10-8}} Qur'an Sura 11:044 diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Inggris oleh [[Marmaduke Pickthall]] sebagai: "And it was said: O earth! Swallow thy water and, O sky! be cleared of clouds! And the water was made to subside. And the commandment was fulfilled. And it (the ship) came to rest upon (the mount) al '''Cudi''' and it was said: A far removal for wrongdoing folk!"</ref>

Situs ini diabaikan sampai tahun 1977, ketika ditemukan kembali dan dipromosikan oleh arkeolog dan petualang amatir [[Ron Wyatt]]. Selama tahun 1980-an Wyatt berulangkali mencoba menarik perhatian orang pada situs ini, termasuk bekas [[astronotastronaut]] [[James Irwin]] dan penganut kreasionisme, [[John D. Morris]], tetapi keduanya tidak yakin struktur ini adalah Bahtera Nuh.<ref>''The Ark of Noah'', [http://www.noahsarksearch.com/durupinar.htm "Durupınar Site" from NoahsArkSearch.com], June Dawes, ''Noah's Ark: Adrift in Dark Waters'', (Belrose, NSW: Noahide, 2000).</ref>

Pada tahun 1985, Wyatt ditemani oleh David Fasold dan sarjana geofisik [[John Baumgardner]] melakukan ekspedisi yang kemudian dicatat dalam buku Fasold "''The Ark of Noah''". Segera setelah Fasold melihat situs itu, ia menyatakannya sebagai bekas kapal yang terdampar.<ref>''The Ark of Noah'', p. 7.</ref> Fasold membawa serta peralatan radar pelacak tanah modern dan generator frekuensi, yang diset untuk mencari besi, dan meneliti adanya besi pada formasi tersebut.<ref>John D. Morris (1990) "That Boat-Shaped Rock … Is it Noah’s Ark?" ''Creation ex nihilo'' 12:4</ref> Radar penetrasi tanah menghasilkan struktur internal teratur yang tercatat dalam laporan kepada pemerintah Turki. Fasold dan timnya mengukur panjang formasi tersebut yaitu {{convert|538|ft|m|0|abbr=on}}, dekat dengan ukuran 300 [[hasta]] (157 m, 515&nbsp;ft) [[Bahtera Nuh]] menurut catatan [[Alkitab]] jika menggunakan ukuran hasta [[Mesir kuno]] yang panjangnya 20,6&nbsp;inci (0,52 m).<ref>''The Ark of Noah'', pp. 15-22 and others.</ref><ref name =Pockley/> Fasold percaya bahwa timnya menemukan bagian dek atas yang menjadi fosil dan substruktur kayu aslinya sudah menghilang. Di sebuah desa, Kazan (dulunya bernama Arzap) di dekat sana, ditemukan juga batu-batu besar berbentuk khusus yang diduga merupakan batu jangkar (''drogue stones'' atau ''anchor stones''), yang pernah digunakan dengan diikatkan pada bahtera supaya stabil mengapung di atas permukaan air.

Meskipun dikabarkan kemudian pernah meragukan bahwa formasi Durupınar adalah Bahtera Nuh,<ref name =Pockley>{{Cite news | last = Pockley | first = Peter | author-link = | last2 = | first2 = | author2-link = | title = Theory blown out of the water | newspaper = Australian Sun-Herald | pages = | date = 6 November 1994 | url = }}</ref><ref name =CF>Collins, L.

'''Batu-batu jangkar Arzap''' ({{lang-en|The Arzap Drogue Stones}} adalah sejumlah batu-batu besar yang berdiri tegak, ditemukan di dekat situs Durupınar oleh arkeolog amatir [[Ron Wyatt]] dibantu oleh David Fasold dan lain-lain. Fasold menafsirkan artefak-artefak ini sebagai "batu jangkar" ({{lang-en|drogue}}), yaitu batu pemberat yang digunakan untuk membuat kapal lebih stabil dalam goncangan lautan yang berombak keras. Cirinya adalah adanya lubang besar di bagian atasnya yang sengaja dibuat untuk mengikatkan tali pada batu tersebut,<ref name="Fasold 1988">{{cite book | first = David | last = Fasold | year = 1988 | title = The Ark of Noah |url = https://archive.org/details/arkofnoah00faso|publisher = Wynwood Press | location = New York | isbn = 0-922066-10-8}}</ref> dan karena adanya batu-batu tersebut diindikasikan dari pembacaannya pada kisah "[[Mitos air bah Gilgames]]", yaitu catatan kuno Babilonia mengenai air bah.<ref>http://www.noahsark-naxuan.com/turkmap.htm {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120207101619/http://www.noahsark-naxuan.com/turkmap.htm |date=2012-02-07 }} (accessed 6 Sept. 2006)</ref>

Penelitian geologis dari contoh batuan, yang diterbitkan oleh geolog [[:en:Lorence G. Collins|Lorence Collins]] bersama dengan salah satu penemunya, David Fasold, menunjukkan bahwa batu-batu ini dibentuk dari batu setempat, dan nampaknyatampaknya tidak tidak mungkin dipindahkan dari lokasi di [[Mesopotamia]], di mana menurut kepercayaan, Bahtera itu berasal.<ref>{{cite journal | author= Lorence D.
