Is the Ark on Mount Ararat?

Many people have gone on expeditions to hunt for Noah’s ark. Most explorers search on Mount Ararat in modern-day Turkey. But is this the right place to look?

Well, Genesis says the ark landed “on the mountains of Ararat,” which is a wide area, not specifically on what we call Mount Ararat today. Now, underneath Mount Ararat are thousands of feet of sediment laid down during Noah’s flood.

Also, it’s a volcano, and it appears to have formed after the flood.

So, it’s very unlikely this is the mountain the ark landed on. And even if it was the right place, the ark would probably be buried under volcanic ash.

So where is the ark? Stay tuned!
