Hello Jeff,

>RN>Noah built a boat in the mountain?  Interesting.     Regards,   Roger

JS>To my knowledge, the Bible does not specifically say where Noah built the Ar
JS>What we do know is that once the flood waters receded, the Ark rested upon t
JS>"mountains of Ararat", which is a mountainous region of
eastern Armenia,
JS>between the river Araxes, and the lakes Van and Oroomiah. Some Bible scholar
JS>and archeologists claim to have discovered the remains of the Ark, as well
JS>anchor stones, an altar that Noah built afterwards, and even the remains of

JS>true any of this really is, I honestly do not know. Over the decades, there
JS>have been several claims of having found the Ark in different areas of the
JS>Arafat region.

The Bible and the Qur`an both agree on the "mountains of Arafat" as
being the resting place of Noah's Ark.  Whether the ark still exists,
or remains where it originally came to rest, is an open question.
The best claim of Noah's Ark that I have come across seems to be
an area in Iran, where remnants of what could be the Ark have been
found.  But, as you noted, there have been several claims over the
years, in various places.
