Which mountain range does Genesis name as the landing place of Noah's Ark?

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

Genesis 8:4 uses the plural expression “mountains of Ararat.” It does not name a single peak. Ararat is associated with the ancient kingdom or region of Urartu, located broadly in the Armenian Highlands. The wording therefore identifies a mountainous region rather than conclusively specifying the modern summit called Mount Ararat.

Mount Ararat, a prominent volcanic massif in present-day eastern Turkey, became the most famous proposed location in later tradition. Searches and alleged discoveries have repeatedly attracted attention, but no archaeological find has been accepted as proof that the biblical ark has been located.

This distinction explains why “Mount Ararat” is common in popular culture while “the mountains of Ararat” is the more precise Genesis wording. Other traditions propose different sites, including Mount Judi in Islamic interpretation, but those do not change the location named in Genesis.
