The Secret of Mount Ararat

Folklore — not a documented case

Claims that remains of Noah's Ark can be found near the mountain's summit have circulated for decades. Various amateur and semi-scientific teams have carried out searches in the area and shared footage, but no finding has been confirmed by the academic community. The mountain's difficult terrain has helped the tale's mystery endure to this day.

Mount Ararat (5,137 m), Turkey's highest peak, has for centuries been associated with the belief that Noah's Ark came to rest here. This belief rests on both religious texts and regional oral tradition.
