The mountain REGION where the ark rests (8:4 — 'the mountains of Ararat,' plural): the ancient kingdom of Urartu in the highlands of eastern Turkey/Armenia. The text names no individual peak; the modern mountain called Ararat took its name from this verse.
📍 Ararat — modern-day Eastern Turkey, near Lake Van
