Does anyone ever take into consideration that the Bible originally doesn’t actually say the ark landed on ‘Mount Ararat’ but the ‘Mountains of Urartu’ (ie the entire range, not the specific mountain named Ararat (the Turks actually name it Agri Dagi.)

The name we call Ararat in the English translation of the Bible was assumed because the original text from the early copy said rrt and they made the association with the Ararat.

Well I've pointed this out before, but nobody takes any notice, so the answer to your question is "no".

Note location of Cudi Dagh, an alternative candidate for ArkWreck. Also consider to the people of Mesopotania, the 'Mountains of Urartu’ would be those where the Tigris River rises
