Genesis 8:4
King James Version (KJV)

4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

It says the “mountains of Ararat” NOT nessarily on THE Mt Ararat.

Yes, I understand it says “mountainssssssss of Ararat” and not Mount Ararat itself. The mountains of Ararat don’t extend that far out to Iraq or Iran. From documentaries that I have watched in the past about Noah’s ark there are towns near Mt. Ararat and the mountains of Ararat that indicate that Noah did land close by.

What the linguists are saying about the Turkic origins of the Indo-European languages indirectly supports that story from the Torah (aka the Bible).
