Ararat

Facts:

In the Bible, "Ararat" is the name given to a land, a kingdom, and a mountain range.

The "land of Ararat" was probably located in what is now the northeastern part of the country of Turkey.
Ararat is most well-known as the name of the mountains that Noah's ark came to rest on after the waters of the great flood began to recede.
In modern times, a mountain called "Mount Ararat" is often thought to be the location of the "mountains of Ararat" in the Bible.
