Ararat is the tallest peak in Turkey at 16,854 feet. The mountain's nickname is the Mountain of Pain and because of volcanic activity the Mountain of Fire. The mountain is ten miles west of Iran and twenty miles south of Armenia.
Where in the bible is Ararat?. Genesis 8:4 says ' and the ark rested in the seventh month on the seventeenth day of the month upon the mountains of Ararat.
The mountain has been ruled by Armenians, Romans, Persians, Mongols, Ottomans and Russians. Since 1923, the mountain has been considered part of Turkey.
Since 2001, explorers, geologists and Bible scholars have searched for the remains of Noah's Ark.
The mountain will always be associated with Noah.
