Şırnak, Mount Cudi (folk tale)

The Tales of Mount Cudi

Folklore — not a documented case

Mount Cudi in Şırnak is one of two mountains that, in regional traditions, are said to be the place where Noah's Ark came to rest.

Although Mount Ararat is the more widely known site, some regional and historical sources hold that Noah's Ark came to rest on Mount Cudi instead. This view is upheld in particular by local communities in the area and by certain early written sources.

The stories in this section are folk tales and legends; they are not verified, real events and should not be confused with the rest of the archive.
