Depiction of Noah's ark landing on the "mountains of Ararat", from the North French Hebrew Miscellany (13th century). In the Book of Genesis, the mountains of Ararat (Biblical Hebrew הָרֵי אֲרָרָט , Tiberian hārê ’Ǎrārāṭ, Septuagint: τὰ ὄρη τὰ Ἀραράτ) [1] is the term used to designate the region in which Noah's Ark comes to rest after the Great Flood.

Picture of the Ararat anomaly taken by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1949 1973 Keyhole-9 image with Ararat anomaly circled in red. The Ararat anomaly is an alleged structure appearing on photographs of the snowfields near the summit of Mount Ararat, Turkey, and advanced by some Christian believers as the remains of Noah's Ark.
The structure of the Ark (and the chronology of the flood) is homologous with the Jewish Temple and with Temple worship. [9] Accordingly, Noah's instructions are given to him by God (Genesis 6:14–16): the ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high (approximately 134×22×13 m or 440×72×43 ft). [10]
In 1940 the article "Noah's Ark Found" appeared in a special edition of New Eden, one of several booklets published in Los Angeles by Floyd M. Gurley. The article was credited to "Vladimir Roskovitsky", and contained his account of discovering Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat circa 1917, "just before the Russian revolution."
Nevertheless, Ararat is traditionally considered the resting-place of Noah's Ark, [98] and, thus, regarded as a biblical mountain. [99] [100] Mount Ararat has been associated with the Genesis account since the 11th century, [95] and Armenians began to identify it as the ark's landing place during that time. [101] F. C.
