Mount Judi
Mount Judi (Turkish: Cudi Dağı; Arabic: ٱلْجُودِيّ, romanized: al-Jūdiyy; Armenian: Ջուդի լեռը; Kurdish: Çiyayê Cûdî) is Noah's apobaterion or "Place of Descent", the location where the Ark came to rest after the Great Flood, according to very early Christian and Islamic tradition (based on the Quran, 11:44). The Quranic tradition is part of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic legend. The identification of Mount Judi as the landing site of the ark persisted in Syriac and Armenian tradition throughout Late Antiquity, but was abandoned for the tradition equating the biblical location with the highest mountain in Turkey, that is Mount Ararat.
