The anomaly is located on the northwest corner of the Western Plateau of Mount Ararat (approximately 39°42′10″N 44°16′30″E) at about 15,500 ft (4,724 m), some 2.2 km (1.4 mi) west of the 16,854 ft (5,137 m) summit, on the edge of what appears from the photographs to be a steep downward slope.
Mount Ararat is a polygenic, compound stratovolcano. Covering an area of 1,100 km 2 (420 sq mi), it is the largest volcanic edifice within the region. Along its northwest–southeast trending long axis, Mount Ararat is about 45 kilometers (28 mi) long and is about 30 kilometers (19 mi) long along its short axis.

In 1997, William Ryan, Walter Pitman, Petko Dimitrov, and their colleagues first published the Black Sea deluge hypothesis. They proposed that a catastrophic inflow of Mediterranean seawater into the Black Sea freshwater lake occurred around 7,600 years ago, c. 5600 BCE. [3][4] As proposed, the Early Holocene Black Sea flood scenario describes ...

The present article includes some NPOV language, but the overall effect of giving this "topic" its own page is rather like giving a page to "Evidence George Bush is the devil"—even if you carefully balance pro- and anti-devil evidence, the article remains inherently ...
