What mountain region does Genesis say Noah's Ark came to rest near?

Genesis says Noah's Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

Genesis 8:4 places the ark on the mountains of Ararat after the Flood waters recede. The wording is plural and refers to a mountainous region, not explicitly to one named summit. Ararat was an ancient geographical designation associated with the kingdom of Urartu, located around parts of the Armenian highlands.

A common simplification calls the location Mount Ararat, the large volcanic mountain in modern eastern Turkey. However, Genesis does not state that the ark rested on that specific peak. The distinction matters because the biblical wording identifies a broader region rather than a precise archaeological coordinate.

Many expeditions and stories have claimed to find remains of the ark, especially in the Ararat area, but no discovery has been scientifically verified as Noah's Ark. The location remains a subject of religious tradition, literary interpretation, and popular speculation rather than established archaeology.
