Their intentions may be good but I'm guessing they are wasting their time looking here. For one, the mountain was named long after the fact, for the biblical name, not the other way around, and for another, the description in Genesis says 'mountains of Ararat', which is pretty generalized. Toss in the likelyhood that the flood was much further away in the Tarim basin, and we have the trappings of a boondoggle.

When do you think this flood occurred in the Tarim Basin. Was the Turpan Basin affected too?
