"This project is one big charade designed to swindle gullible Christians out of their money". A #DurupinarScam, you mean? Sounds about right to me, they've no idea how to do (or spell) archaeology, let alone how to publish it properly. Dilettantes and charlatans.
Your white lines you superimposed on Bakhtar's scan aren't there in the original scan or real life and only serve to deceive. The "heat map" "lines" aren't lines at all--they're squiggles that seriously deviate from a true line at the end of those imposed white lines, which means your "man-made corridor" isn't a corridor at all. The middle line happens to follow the meandering fault line actual geologists have known is there for decades. The adjacent curved lines you're pretending are indicative of a ship's hull are simply the crease lines along the layers of the plunging syncline, aka unconformities along the syncline.
The increased organic material isn't an indication of Noah's Ark either; the formation is a natural catchment bowl that traps and collects organic material over time.
This project is one big charade designed to swindle gullible Christians out of their money.
So, what does "Turkey's lead archaeologist" (really?) - a pottery specialist - say about the pre-Noahchite pottery you reported? Tell us please. xitter.cf/LaurenWitzkeDE/status/…
It’s officially official.
This weekend Turkeys lead archeologist Dr. Cenker Atila reviewed and confirmed that Dr Bakhtar’s Report become an official and key development in the study at Noah’s Ark.
Dr. Bakhtar is America’s top rock mechanics expert, a 40 year defense scientist, and inventor of DOD’s Bakhtar Radar, and he just proved that the Durupinar Formation is NOT geological, and that there is a 3 tiered manmade structure beneath the surface with organized hallways, chambers, and corridors.
The hallways run over 4 meters high.
The “It’s just a pile of rocks” theory by armchair archeologists has just been completely destroyed.
Ahhh I’m so excited! It’s all real!!
Hormuz was an ancient kingdom, well before a place named America even existed. iranologie.com/the-history-p… and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdo…

"God, 12 missed calls. Mom, I'm working."
President Zelenskyy says his mother still calls him every single day and keeps dialing until he picks up. She asks how he is, how the kids are, and when Putin is going to end the war.

Why is the "tridactyl" in this depiction of a rape scene white, when we are told by those who are promoting these things that the white kaolin coating was a mummification process (which, allegedly is why they "cannot remove it" to revel the joins beneath)? xitter.cf/joismantilla/status/21…
#exclusivo Un #tridáctilo de Nazca, muerto por múltiples proyectiles! Tomografías revelan hasta 6 orificios de entrada y salida de 1 cm. que atraviezan columna vertebral, pecho, hígado y costillas ¿Esto implica que se vieron las caras con colonos #españoles?
Information about these holes is in marginal media such as ndtv.com/world-news/in-start… where it is suggested that the human tissues handled here were assembled from the remains of murder victims, which raises for the Peruvian University uncomfortable questions of supply and demand.
Come on Trump, put your money where your mouth is, you challenged the British media, now it is time for you to stop behaving like a child and coward, to stand up and be a MAN and as part of the process just explain a few things to the court you yourself turned to, on the record.
And the rapist? By the same retarded Judeo-biblical-patriarchal laws, he should be forced by law to be 100% personally financially responsible for the child and its mother (monthly payments until that child reaches majority), but with zero parental rights. Why not, Republicans?
Is the policeman that did this suspended or still on active duty, paid from the public purse to be out among the public with his gun?
If he had any honour, he'd already have resigned and found a job where people don't have to look at his face and those ridiculous tattoos.

🚨 KUSHNER IS COOKED: His iPhone was hacked and the details and bank accounts tell the entire story.
He is not an elected official. He’s a nepotistic con man who is in this purely to grift off of us, just like his in-laws.
Democrats, you know what to do come January.

Now would be a good time to remind everyone of these Trump facts, because apparently some people still need the refresher.
Please meet the President of the United States:
Flew on Epstein’s plane at least seven times. Just friends, I guess.
Pleaded the Fifth more than 400 times in a single deposition. Nothing says “innocent” like refusing to answer a single question about your own business.
34 felony convictions. A record most people would call disqualifying. And 91 criminal charges.
Accused of sexual misconduct or assault by at least 26 women. But sure, tell me again how he’s a great guy.
6 corporate bankruptcies. The self proclaimed greatest businessman alive somehow keeps running out of money.
5 draft deferments. Funny how the toughest guy in the room never actually showed up for duty.
4 criminal indictments. Not two. Not three. Four.
2 impeachments. A club of exactly one president.
2 of his own companies convicted of criminal tax fraud. Convicted. Not accused. Convicted.
1 fake university shut down. 1 fake charity shut down.
Even his charity was a grift.
Paid 25 million dollars to settle the Trump University fraud lawsuit because scamming people who believed in you costs money eventually.
Ordered to pay 5 million dollars in the first E Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict, then hit with 83.3 million more in the second.
A jury said it twice so nobody could pretend it was a fluke.
Ordered to pay 2 million dollars for looting his own so called charity.
Stealing from a charity with his own name on it.
Found liable for business fraud and originally slapped with a penalty topping 450 million dollars, later thrown out on appeal while the fraud finding itself stuck to him anyway.
First president in modern history to increase the deficit every single year of a full term. Fiscal responsibility, apparently, was always just a talking point.
Kept the debt to GDP ratio above 100 percent for his entire first term.
Presided over the largest single day point drop in Dow Jones history at the time. So much for the guy who claimed to be a genius with money.
Set the record for the longest government shutdown in US history in his first term at 35 days, then couldn’t resist beating his own miserable record in his second term with a 43 day shutdown, followed by yet another shutdown just months later. Encore nobody asked for.
Added roughly 2.25 trillion dollars to the national debt in his first year back in office alone, pushing the debt past 39 trillion dollars.
Somebody remind me who the party of fiscal discipline is again.
Pushed through the largest defense budget increase since World War Two while the debt kept climbing anyway.
Purged more than 300,000 federal employees in his first year back.
Efficient, if your goal is chaos.
Pardoned nearly 1,600 January 6 Capitol rioters.
At least 40 of those pardoned rioters have already been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for new crimes since walking free. Shocking absolutely nobody.
His family’s crypto ventures, including a meme coin and World Liberty Financial, pulled in more than 1.4 billion dollars in disclosed earnings while he sat in the Oval Office.
Draining the swamp was apparently code for filling his own pockets.
Sent the National Guard into American cities at a cost of nearly 500 million taxpayer dollars in 2025 alone.
His own tariffs are projected to cost the average American household more than 2,500 dollars this year.
You’re paying for this. Not China. You.
No more foreign wars. Peace deal with Russia and Ukraine on Day One.
None of this is a conspiracy theory, a rumor, or something you saw in a group chat.
It is the actual, documented record, sitting in plain sight for anyone willing to look.
So the next time someone tells you to relax and give him a chance, ask them how many more indictments, judgments, and shutdown records he needs to rack up before that chance runs out.

BREAKING: The Mississippi Free Press has obtained bodycam footage from the Senatobia police officer who fired the fatal shot that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.
The footage shows he was standing on the side of the car when he fired into it, hitting the child.
Trump wants to stop Ukrainians from defending their country from a Russian invasion because of the casualties, but in Gaza in 2026, 77000 people are believed to have died under US-supported genocidal attacks - so let him make the same efforst to stop that one at the same time.

“Why do some British people dislike Donald Trump?”
Nate White, an eloquent and witty English writer, gave this magnificent answer:
Trump lacks certain qualities that the British traditionally value.
He has no nobility, no charm, no composure, no gravitas, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour, and no grace — qualities with which, strangely enough, his predecessor, Mr Obama, was abundantly blessed.
Although Trump may be ridiculous, he has never said anything ironic, amusing, or even remotely funny — not once, ever. I do not mean this rhetorically. I mean it literally: never. To the British, a lack of humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it is a fact. He does not even seem to understand what a joke is. To him, a joke is a crude remark, an illiterate insult, an act of casual cruelty.
Trump is like a troll: he never laughs or enjoys himself; he merely squeals with delight or derision.
And the most frightening thing is that he does not merely utter crude and stupid insults: he actually means them. His mind is nothing more than a robotic algorithm of petty prejudices and instinctive malice.
There is no irony in him, no complexity, no subtlety, no depth. Everything is superficial. What we see is a man without an inner world, without a soul.
In Britain, we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are courageous underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.
Trump is neither courageous nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite.
He is not even merely a spoiled rich boy or a greedy fat cat. He is more like a giant white slug, a privileged Jabba the Hutt.
And, worse still, he is a bully.
When he finds himself among other bullies, he suddenly becomes a whining lackey.
He punches down — something a gentleman should never, could never, and must never do — and every blow he delivers is below the belt. He particularly enjoys attacking the vulnerable or the voiceless, and he kicks them when they are down.
That is why the fact that a substantial minority — perhaps a third — of Americans watch what he does, listen to what he says, and then think, “Yes, he seems like my kind of guy,” is a source of bewilderment and profound distress to the British.
After all, it is impossible to read a single tweet of his or hear him utter a sentence or two without staring into the abyss. He turns shallowness into an art form. He is the Picasso of pettiness, the Shakespeare of shit. His flaws are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on to infinity.
There have always been stupid people in the world, and villains have never been in short supply either. But rarely has stupidity been so evil, or evil so stupid.
He makes Nixon seem trustworthy and George W. Bush seem intelligent.
If Frankenstein had decided to create a monster composed entirely of human flaws, he would have created Trump, and the remorseful Dr Frankenstein would have cried out in despair, “My God, what have I created?”
If an idiot were a television show, Trump would be the entire set.
Shame on you all. America cannot be "great again" under leaders who aren't man enough to stand up for what is right, to defend the vulnerable and own up to what they've done. Cowardly pussies the lot of them. Watch on Nov 1st.
NEW EPISODE: Ukraine’s military Starshield terminals suddenly lost connectivity above 100 mph as Russian strikes killed at least 10 people and left 600,000 without power. Elon Musk blamed the U.S. government. Trump denied involvement.
Rubio offered conflicting explanations. Then came the reporting: Reuters traced the decision to the White House, The Telegraph reported Musk proposed it and Trump approved, and the Wall Street Journal reported Musk ordered the slowdown.
