Strata: Where Noah Landed?

Still another group is looking for Mt. Ararat, where the Bible says Noah landed after the flood. This group is looking to confirm the tradition that nearby Mt. Cudi (Judi Dagh) is really Mt. Ararat, as recorded in the Quran, Sura 11.44.

as is my custom, this damp clay of mire.

And made a pretty pot which overnight has passed

inside the reddish and the burning fire.

In order that it carries oil, the clearest gold,

or wine, which all the darkness will enjoy.
