Episode Details

Many people have looked for Noah’s ark on Mount Ararat in modern day Turkey. But is this even the right place to look?

Well, Genesis says the ark landed “on the mountains of Ararat,” not specifically on Mt. Ararat. Actually, that specific mountain isn’t even a good candidate.

Underneath the mount are thousands of feet of flood sediments which were, of course, laid down during the flood. But Mt. Ararat is a volcano that wasn’t formed until after the floods so it’s very unlikely this is the mount the ark landed on. And, even if it was, the ark would be buried under volcanic ash.

So where is the ark? Stay tuned this week!
