Mount Ararat

The belief in mount ararat as the resting place of the art comes from a kind of loose interpretation of biblical description. The bible mentions a place called ratu, an ancient kingdom in modern day eastern turkey. Nobody associated that mountain with the ark until the tenth century b c. There's no geological evidence for mass flood ind turkey round four thousand years ago. And we do know that a lot of things believed to be mythological or fictional are proven eventually to be real things.
