According to Genesis, on which mountain range does Noah’s Ark come to rest after the flood?

According to Genesis, Noah’s Ark comes to rest on the mountains of Ararat. Genesis 8:4 uses the plural phrase “mountains of Ararat,” rather than naming one individual peak.

Ararat is associated with a region known in ancient sources as Urartu, generally connected with areas around eastern Turkey, Armenia, and nearby lands. The biblical wording identifies a mountain region, not necessarily the modern summit called Mount Ararat. This distinction matters because later traditions often narrowed the location to that prominent volcano.

Numerous expeditions and claimed discoveries have sought the ark in the Ararat region, but no discovery has been scientifically accepted as the biblical vessel. The Genesis passage itself supplies a regional description and does not provide coordinates, construction remains, or a modern geological identification.
