'''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 tampaknya tidak tidak mungkin dipindahkan dari lokasi di [[Mesopotamia]], di mana menurut kepercayaan, Bahtera itu berasal.<ref>{{cite journal | author= Lorence D.
