MOUNTAIN ARARAT (AĞRI)
According to the legend; In the time of Noah, who believed in only one God, people strayed from the right path
and rebelled against God. God decides to punish them. The Prophet tells Noah to build an ark. After the construction
of the ark was completed, Prophet Noah took a male-female couple from all living things on earth to his ark. Loads
up enough food. He embarks on the ship, taking his family and some of his faithful relatives with him.
The people who had suffered God's wrath perished, only those on the ship survived. Noah's ark floated in the
waters for a hundred and fifty days and stopped. Again, by a divine order, the waters began to recede. The ship
sat on Cudi Hill of Ararat Mountains. Prophet Noah opened the window and released a pigeon. The pigeon turned back,
unable to find a place to sit. Seven days later, he released the pigeon again. This time the pigeon returned to the ship
with an olive branch in its mouth. The waters had receded. Noah got out of his ship and established a village at the foot
of the Ararat Mountains. Humans reproduced with living things. Would you like to listen to this world-renowned legend,
