Deciphering A 3,000-Year-Old Map Has Led Scientists To Believe They Have Discovered The “Location Of Noah’s Ark”

Hurrah! The animals went in two by two—a memory from long ago, right?

While Noah’s Ark may seem like an ancient story or nursery rhyme, new findings suggest a modern twist. Experts, after decoding a 3,000-year-old Babylonian map on a clay tablet, believe they’ve located the Ark’s resting place.

The map, called the Imago Mundi, provides directions to “Urartu,” an ancient name corresponding to “Ararat,” the mountain where Noah’s Ark supposedly landed. Dr. Irving Finkel of the British Museum says it confirms the story’s roots in Babylonian history and describes how a massive vessel, or Ark, could be found along this route.
