Drupinar / Sevkit Kurtis Photograph

This is a large section of the actual 1959 Turkish Air Force mapping photograph taken by Air Force pilot Sevkit Kurtis. The purple arrows represent a path of mud flows ending in a circle representing the ark area. The upper, white plateau section is Iran and below the escarpment (shadow of cliffs) is Turkey. Down in the lower, right-hand section in convergence of several mudflows, is seen the elliptical Ark remains. Nearly as long as two football fields the ark seems small in this photo but the distance from top to bottom of the image is nearly two miles. For a size comparison (click here) and you will see the ark of Noah compared to the RMS Titanic.
