    Was this a MISTAKE? 🇹🇷Turning back is no option |S8, E13



    In this episode, I ride my 1987 Yamaha Ténéré to the Black Sea coast of Turkey. I follow the course of the Euphrates river, but to do so, I have to enter one dark tunnel after the other, there is just no end to these tunnels…

      Hello Noraly, I rarely write comments, but this route really blew me away. Incredible route along the river, with unsecured viewpoints in the tunnels with a direct drop into the river. At the top, there are viewpoints with a realistic view and amazing landscapes. That gives you a touch of freedom. Thank you for taking me along and sharing. Best wishes, Uli

      If you pass through Rize, do not go without eating Muhlama. I also recommend you to eat at Şahin Tepesi restaurant in Rize 😉 I wish you accident-free driving

      I worked as a police officer in Malatya city center for 5 years. I saw the places you visited for the first time. You visit very beautiful places. Greetings from Adana/Kozan.

      I don’t care about the thumbnail, the title or the description. All that matters is that Noraly has posted a video and I must watch it. And that’s is how myself and 2.43 million other viewers feel. What an adventure that we are invited to vicariously experience.

      Thanks for the breakdown! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

      Noraly, you make me nervous!! Please be careful out there! You are an absolute "legend"!! 🙂
      Did you know… you're fairly close to what is believed by many to be the remains of Noah's Ark!

      THE DURUPINAR SITE IS a natural but controversial rock formation in Turkey, just a few miles north of Iran, located near several unnamed mountain peaks in the Ağrı Province. The Durupınar site (Turkish: Durupınar sitesi) is a geological formation of 164 metres (538 feet) made of limonite on Mount Tendürek, adjacent to the village of Üzengili in eastern Anatolia or Turkey. The site is 3 km (1.9 miles) north of the Iranian border, 16 km (9.9 miles) southeast of Doğubayazıt in the Ağrı Province, and 29 kilometres (18 miles) south of the Greater Mount Ararat summit, at an elevation of 1,966 to 2,004 m (6,450 to 6,575 ft) above sea level.

      The size and shape of the formation led to its promotion by some believers as the petrified ruins of the original Noah's Ark. Geologists assert that it is an entirely natural formation but have nominated it as (geological) heritage. The site is near several officially unnamed peaks, though locals call one of the nearby peaks Cudi Dağı in Turkish, which salvage expert David Fasold linked to Al Cudi, the place named in the Quran as the final resting place of Noah's Ark.

      Locals claim that a nearby mountain is Mount Judi which is listed in the Qur’an as being the final resting place of Noah’s Ark, an interesting coincidence given that this rock formation is in the shape of a giant boat. Controversy surrounds whether this site, known as the Durupınar Formation, is a natural rock formation or a divine relic. Situated near Mount Tendürek, just 29 kilometers from Mount Ağrı’s peak, the boat-like formation aligns closely with the dimensions of the ark. Some believe it to be remnants of Noah’s Ark, while skeptics, including (some) geologists, argue that natural processes shaped the structure.

      Extra interesting evidence: About 15 miles from the ark is the village of Arzep, formerly known as the Village of Eight, where the sea anchor stones were cut off the ark and landed underwater in this area. Arzep is its old Armenian name, but the Turks have a more contemporary name of Siglaksulu. We like to use the Arzep older name. Arzep is also the area where Noah's family lived after the Flood. (8 family members – Village of Eight)

      The region around the ark has a rich history of evidence identifying this area as the correct landing place for the ark.
      The valley below the ark is interpreted as The Valley of Eight.
      The name for the mountain where the ark rests is interpreted as Doomsday mountain.
      The village where the majority of the anchor stones are found is called Arzep or The Place of Eight.

      The ride was fun for you but its scary for me, ha,ha,ha… You have tons of guts to ride thru that long tunnel because i didn't see any vehicles except your bike. The drone footage shots was spectacular. I enjoyed your travel thru armchair viewing. Take care and ride safe always.

      Great effort to travel such far places, plus wear and tear on the bike, let alone making awesome videos and story-line. Commend your spirit and the drive that keeps you going.
