Gen 8:4 says the Ark landed on the mountains (Plural) of Ararat. At the
time Moses wrote Genesis this was the mountainous area south of Lake Van in
present-day Turkey. It is the region where the Turks are currently fighting
the Kurdish rebels.
Contrary to the opinion of many, present-day Mt. Ararat in northeastern
Turkey is not mentioned in the Biblical account of the flood. As far as I
can tell the tradition that the ark landed on this mountain arose about the
12th Century A.D.
There is strong tradition for the southern location from about the Fourth
Century B.C. to about 1000 A.D.
Josephus mentions this location on three different occasions. I believe the
Lutheran scholar, John Warwick Montgomery has misinterpeted these passages.
It should also be noted that Mt. Ararat is a volcano of relatively recent
origin. There is no evidence that I am aware that it was ever under water.
Why Glenn would put the landing place of the Ark in Egypt is an enigma when
the Bible is pretty specific. He will have to speak for himself.
