Mount Judi, Türkiye
Türkiye's Mount Judi is the site of Noah's Ark, which has been a controversial topic for a long time. Some traditional views suggest that the resting place of Noah's Ark was not Mount Ararat as it is known today, but Mount Judy, which is part of Mount Ararat. Located at the junction of Türkiye, Iraq and Syria, it is about 7000 feet above sea level and 175 miles away from Mount Ararat. In 1953, German geologist Friedrich Bendl discovered some fragments of wood and asphalt at the top of Mount Judy, which were buried about one meter deep underground. Carbon dating showed that these fragments could be traced back to about 6500 years ago.
