In the Genesis account of Noah’s Ark, where did the Ark come to rest?

In Genesis, Noah’s Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

Genesis 8:4 uses the plural phrase “mountains of Ararat,” rather than naming one particular summit. Ararat was the biblical name for a region associated with Urartu, an ancient kingdom in the Armenian Highlands and surrounding areas.

The passage does not explicitly say that the Ark landed on the modern peak called Mount Ararat. That mountain became the most famous proposed location because it is a prominent summit in the region, but the biblical wording refers more broadly to mountains.

Numerous expeditions and claimed discoveries have focused on Mount Ararat and nearby sites. Archaeologists and historians have not established verified physical evidence for the Ark, so proposed locations remain matters of tradition, interpretation, and speculation.
