According to Genesis 8:4 the Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat on the 17th day of the 7th month. Rather confusingly, in Genesis 8:5 it says the tops of the mountains only started to appear after 10 months. Ignoring that, the question becomes where are the "mountains of Ararat"? Abrahamic tradition says this is Mount Ararat in Turkey. Josephus, the Jewish historian, places the Ark on an Armenian mountain - which doesn't exclude Mount Ararat. The ancient Jewish Book of Jubilees specifies mount Lubar in the mountains of Ararat.
