About 1959 an object, in shape very suggestive of a ship was discovered during routine examination of aerial photographs of parts of Eastern Turkey. The shape, in fact this object is not very far from Mount Ararat, naturally leading to the suggestion that the object might be the Ark. Subsequent examination on the ground, however, showed that the object was a formation in clay, not an artifact of wood. The author suggests here that, while the formation is not the Ark itself, it may be the resting-place of the Ark. For the Ark might have left its impression in mud, which later hardened into clay.
