The Ararat anomaly is a aerial photographs of Mount Ararat (Turkey) visible structure on the snowfields near the summit, keep some people for the last remains of Noah's ark. A similar, named after the Air Force Captain İlhan Durupınar rock formation that is also held for the Ark, located 30 km to the south.

In the published photo is the " anomaly " a several hundred meters large dark spot on the northwest corner of the Western Plateau, about 2.2 km west of the 5137 m high summit, on the edge of a cliff. It was recorded for the first time during a U.S. Air Force aerial reconnaissance mission in 1949 - the Ararat massif is located on the former Turkish- Soviet border, and was thus of military interest. The file was saved from the aerial reconnaissance of the Air Force in 1949 under the heading " Ararat Anomaly ".

Six images from 1949 in 1995 issued to the private scholar Porcher Taylor under the Freedom of Information Act, a teacher for paralegal assistants at the University of Richmond. Taylor hopes to have found the ark, and since then collects all aerial photography accessible to the region.

2000 was on Taylor operate the magazine Insight on the News of the company Space Imaging (now GeoEye ) the order to go with the satellite IKONOS, taken on 5 August and 13 September 2000. GeoEye generated from the images of a CGI video that the " anomaly " is pointing to about half the runtime. 2006 prompted Taylor recordings of commercial sensing satellite Quickbird.

Individuals have often tried in vain to find the alleged remains of the Ark on the spot. An exploration at the site of the " anomaly " but has so far not taken place.

The presence of remnants of Noah's Ark is for those churches of importance the Bible literally interpreted (see: fundamentalism, evangelicalism ). This seen in the proof of the existence of the Ark as proof of the veracity of the Bible understood as a history book. Why was the American millionaire Daniel McGivern, not from archaeological interest, in 2006 satellite photos in order. He wants to explore the supposed wreck on Ararat with a Turkish archaeologist.

The specialists interviewed by Insight include built man-made structure not but believe that the anomaly geological origin. Also, a ZDF documentary from 2009 stated that that is only a rock formation.
