Is This Noah's Ark? Boat-Shaped Mound Found in Turkey

Excitement surrounds a recent discovery in Turkey's Durupinar Formation, where researchers believe they may have found the fossil of Noah's Ark. This boat-shaped mound, submerged during a catastrophic flood approximately 5,000 years ago, has drawn the attention of an international team, including experts from Istanbul Technical University and Agri Ibrahim Cecen University, who have been studying the site since 2021. The mound's dimensions, roughly 150 metres in length, align with the biblical description of the Ark. Preliminary analysis of nearly 30 soil and rock samples revealed clay-like materials and marine deposits, dating back to the Chalcolithic period, which corresponds with the timeline of the biblical flood. Lead researcher Professor Dr. Faruk Kaya confirmed evidence of human activity in the region during this period, prompting plans for further investigation in the surrounding areas of Cudi and Ararat. sources

Union Minister Reveals Tamil Nadu's Letter on PM SHRI Schools

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has defended his statements regarding the establishment of PM SHRI Schools in Tamil Nadu, after the ruling DMK accused him of misleading Parliament.

Savarkar, 'Chhaava', Abu Azmi: Aurangzeb's Legacy 300 Years Later

The Bollywood film *Chhaava*, which depicts the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji, son of Maratha ruler Shivaji Maharaj, has reignited discussions about Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, over 300 years after his death.

This sentiment has historical roots, with figures like Jyotiba Phule and Bal Thackeray voicing similar criticisms. The ongoing discourse around Aurangzeb highlights the complex interplay of history, politics, and cultural identity in contemporary India. sources
