Just a quick appendum - no criticism intended. The word for "mountains"
and "hills" is the same, so to say the "hills of Ararat" would be better.
I say "better" because an ark could land on more than one hill, but could not
rest on more than one mountain. So any particular mountain would be ruled
out because that would be singular and the word is plural.
