The story of Noah’s Ark is the forerunner of many mysteries. But, the story of the flood is not just strictly biblical; Armenian legends and the Babylonian “Epic of Gilgamesh”, both tell of a similar event. Because silt deposits have been found at Ur and other Sumerian cities, all of the legends have some truth to them. The different dates of the silt deposits bring about the conclusion that people were familiar with floods, and that supposedly led to the legend of the Great Flood.

In the bible, Noah constructed the ark and when the water resided, the ark was anchored on Mount Ararat. (A mountain that is located in the volcanic territory in the middle of the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.)

Many a researcher has climbed the 16,945-ft-high mountain to try and find the Ark. What they did find were remnants of timber that came from a tree which isn’t native to the entire area around the mountain. The remnants are from trees that are from the Mesopotamian plains. (Noah’s Homeland.) As far as archaeologists can tell, the remnants were cut more than 4,000 years ago. Further excavation would be too expensive to pursue, according to the researchers.

Is Mount Ararat in Turkey really the location of Noah’s Ark? Or are the researchers stumbling across something completely different? We won’t know until someone funds the research. Maybe God doesn’t want it to be found…
