A group of explorers claim they know where the biblical ship Noah's Ark is. The Daily Star reports, in the Bible, God supposedly asked Noah to take two of every animal on board to save them from a great flood that he was planning to purge the Earth.

In Genesis 8:4, it's claimed the Ark came to land on Mount Ararat in modern-day Turkey after 150 days. Now a California-based "ark hunter" claims he has new evidence that the boat's remains are still up on the mountain.

Professor Raul Esperante from the Geoscience Research Institute is planning to visit sites around the mountain to look for new evidence.

Recently more than 100 researchers from across the world came together for a three-day conference on Noah's Ark in Ağrı in Turkey. Back in 2010 a group of evangelical Christians claimed they had found parts of the ship on the mountain. After a few weeks, the Chinese and Turkish team claimed to have found parts of the ark 13,000ft (4,000m) up Mount Ararat.

The team claimed carbon dating had proved the wood was 4,800 years old, matching the time when the ark was supposed to be afloat.

The professor has urged for investment for a full investigation, but admitted: "At this point it is too early to know what were are going to find."
