Many if not all arks in earlier Mesopotamian myths were circular, but Noah's was not.

And all of them came to rest on a prominent mountain in their area where Noah's does not.

Trying to change the story of Noah so it will fit with the story told by other cultures is a mistake.

Genesis does not say it came to rest on a mountain but on the mountains, iow in a region but not a specific mountain top.

Ararat is near the remains of an object that could very well be the ark. It was revealed in a localized earth tremor when Israel became a state again.

But it’s like an actual boat and not some obscenity against naval architecture as many proposed arks are.
