Ararat (Noah's Ark)

Mount Ararat is a snow-capped volcano located in Eastern Turkey and is traditionally believed to be the resting place of Noah's Ark, according to the Bible. The story of Noah's Ark describes how Noah built an ark to save his family and pairs of animals from a great flood. After the flood receded, the ark came to rest on a mountain, which many associate with Mount Ararat. This mountain has captured the interest of historians, archaeologists, and explorers, and it remains a symbol of hope and renewal in various cultures and religious traditions.
