The Bible tells us that Abraham came from the city of UR of the Chaldeans. Does not specify that he was born there, from what I remember. So is this village that claims to be the birth place of Abraham moslem?
And if this hill top is in Southern Turkey, wouldn’t that be near to where the Mountains of Ararat, and therefore near where Noah landed?
I know it is not acceptable to link current digs to the bible, but it is curious that the villages claim and being in the area where Noah may have landed is interesting.
When Abraham lived in Ur, it was a seaside town. Today, that location is 100 miles inland.
"And if this hill top is in Southern Turkey, wouldn’t that be near to where the Mountains of Ararat, and therefore near where Noah landed?"
Yes.
"I know it is not acceptable to link current digs to the bible, but it is curious that the villages claim and being in the area where Noah may have landed is interesting. "
It is. I'm suprised at the 11,600 year old date. The Black Sea was still a landlocked fresh water lake at that time and about 500 feet lower than it is today.
