During the 1980's and 90's Wyatt conducted multiple investigations at the site. The site was scanned with metal detectors by Ron Wyatt and claims of metal was found in the structure. The metal was said to be evenly spaced across the entire surface. According to Ron, the detectors were triggered by metal rivets, some of which were later discovered at the site.

Ron Wyatt tried to get the Turkish government to authorize the excavation of the site, but his request was denied. Instead, Ron conducted Radar scans that would help determine what was under the surface.

According to Ron, and hotly contested by Ark researchers, the radar scans showed large man-made objects beneath the earth's surface. Apparently, large rib timbers and bulk heads were also visible. These objects were evenly spaced throughout the entire structure. At many places they discovered large voids, or empty spaces, in the ground. Ron believed these to be rooms or empty chambers inside the boat.

Throughout the years many have contested Wyatt's claims that the site is the remains of Noah's Ark. The site, yet still not excavated after its original discovery in 1949, makes one wonder if it is indeed the remains of the world's most legendary vessel. Could the local Turkish government be milking the public for tourism dollars? One can only speculate.

If Noah's Ark was discovered what would you expect to find? I know that around two decades a picnic table, subjected to the all the elements, erodes to barely nothing. Is it possible that such a vessel could survive 4,300 years? Would it look like a mound of dirt in the shape of a boat with only several large beams still intact? One can only come to a final conclusion upon a proper and thorough excavation. It's time to discover what's under the dirt, if anything at all. It's time to excavate!
