Thanks for the info and the map.

I don't see how it makes sense for Noah's Ark to be on Mount Ararat. Do you? It seems ridiculous in that there could never have been enough water to raise the water level to all thouse thousands of feet.

Well, If the Ark is ever found on Mount Arafat, I have an explanation.

During the Ice Age, the Mediterranean was isolated from the world's oceans ( I have a map that shows it in three different sections) and it partially dried out, after a point, the water level stabilized at a much reduced level and stayed that way for thousands of years.
Then the 'plug' at Gilbralter broke and the Mediterranean began to flood creating many refugees...and the same would occur in the Mediterranean as each of the three seperations were breached. Refugees were streaming everywhere with stories about flooding and everyone was convinced that the whole world was flooding.

Noah heard these stories and not knowing how much time he had to build the Ark, built it up on the heights of Mt. Ararat. The plug at the Black Sea broke, convincing everyone that Noah had been warned by God. If the Ark is ever found, it will be found on Mt. Arafat where Noah built it.

I think Biblical scholars trace it to the Mountains of Ararat. Since the Noah flood epic is based on older Mesopotamian mythologies probably it is linked to the melting of the ice caps at the end of the ice age and to heavy rain flow and or the over flowing of the Black Sea which fed the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These rivers begin in Anatolia and flow down from the Caucuses mountains, either that or people that survived the flood fled to higher land-the Ararat mountain ranges perhaps? and came down once the flood was done-probably they took with them their livestock herd.

It is probably no accident that the Sumerians started to build zigguruts to emulate mountains-the thing that may have saved their ancestors from the flood and thus a holy place? It was remembered of course cause the rivers contonued to overflow so it was a constant reminder ofthe big one?
