About Ararat
Ararat is a rocky mountain range in Armenia (2 Kings 19:37; Isaiah 37:38).
Ararat is located just south of the Black Sea and between it and the Caspian Sea. The range extends into eastern Turkey, southern Georgia, and northern Iran. According to the Bible, Noah's ark landed on these mountains when the flood waters began to go down (Genesis 8:4). Many people have searched this remote area, hoping to find the ark.
