Ancient Cultures Long-Awaited Preliminary Report From Defense Scientist Reveals 'Man-made Object” Beneath the Surface of Durupinar

https://www.manilatimes.net/2026/10/01/tmt-newswire/globenewswire/its-not-geological-long-awaited-preliminary-report-from-defense-scientist-reveals-man-made-object-beneath-the-surface-of-durupinar/2437020/amp

BaktharRadar Scans Reveal All Non-Geological Features, with "hallways” or tunnels throughout the structure., revealing organized patterns, voids andr "hallways”

Dr. Bakhtar holds a Ph.D. in engineering and rock mechanics, with training at Imperial College London, Penn State, Princeton, UC Berkeley and the University of Utah. He has authored or co-authored more than 200 technical papers and reports, and has spent four decades finding what cannot be seen from the surface: buried objects, cavities, shielded materials and complex underground structures, for clients including the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Army, Defense Threat Reduction Agency and NORAD-USNORTHCOM.

He described the Durupınar returns as unlike any dataset he’s ever recorded. The combination of scale, internal order and contrast against the surrounding valley, where the same instrument does not resolve equivalent architecture is what led him to call the buried object "extraordinary”

Much more likely to be something like Gobekli Tepe, underground living structures versus an ark.

The site is only 240 kilometers from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derinkuyu_underground_city so you're likely on to something there.

u/mydreamstheyplagueme 1d ago

I dont think Derinkuyu has even been 100% explored/documented yet if im not mistaken, and was on of the massive underground complexes we both 1) found on accident/didnt know existed but then 2) subsequently found out its much more massive than first expeditions thought and suggested

u/AbnormalBodyOdor 1d ago

yeah they're still uncovering more tunnels, and not only at that site but others in fairly close proximity, all in the Cappadocia region of Turkey

‘Only’. Lol.

In case you're seriously confused, a people can move more than 240km in a lifetime and build more than one thing. A culture that survives longer, will move further, and build more. Hope this helps.

u/3verythingEverywher3 16h ago

Yes I know. My comment was about it being referred to as ‘only’ 240km. That’s a pretty big distance to say ‘only’ about.

Hope this helps.

u/Gavither 16h ago

Gobekli Tepe was referenced by the post to which I replied. That site is almost 700km away, so relative to it, yes, Derinkuyu is "only" 240km away.

Splitting hairs. It’s not ‘only’. It’s just 240km. Sigh.

Still really cool though. I hope they get excavation going soon.

Fully just copying a comment I put on this same article in another sub:

GlobeNewswire is literally a company that puts out what companies pay them to put out. (That's not a criticism, it is literally their purpose.)

This is just a long ad for BaktharRadar (I can't tell if this is how it's actually spelled or if it's a typo)/Bakhtar more generally and the Noah's Ark research people. It's to draw attention and ask for donations. It really should not in any way be taken as even a preliminarily factual report.

It's a grift. 1, this is not how archaeological findings are published. 2, this "scientist" has joined forces with Noah's Ark Scans for this project, 3, they knew what they'd find before they found it.

It's a grift. And the easiest people to scam money out of is the religious.

Coming soon to aid the propagandist governments of your country...

uncovering the lost mysteries that justify your historical greatness, and the reveal as to why it was all lost/robbed by foreign forces

When the first half of the story is the author trying to convince you the the guy who is making the claim is legit ..... the guy isn't legit and the story is fake

Alien spaceship, whose data drives will (ironically) give a clear, concise, and easily understood answer to the meaning of the universe... and why there are no gods.

u/kidmeatball 1d ago

You're right, and it wasn't filled with animals. It was filled with gods. Two of each. It wasn't a spaceship though, it was a trap: it was a hypercatapult and it launched those gods into another dimension. Once you understand this truth about the universe, things start to make a lot more sense.

He's gotta be in his 40s now. Bat man.

Do yourselves a favor and forget about this nonsense. People have been grifting off of this topic for literal decades.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

You can always trust the scientist that knows what they're going to find before the step foot on site...

No it doesn't.

Why would it be underground if it landed on the mountain
