In many religions of the ancient world, Mount Ararat was considered the place where people moored after the Great Flood.
From this place began the rebirth of mankind.
Ararat was a sacred mountain in ancient Armenia even in the pre-Christian traditions. Ancient Armenians believed that their deities lived in the mountains of the Armenian Highlands.
Today, Mount Ararat is within Turkey and is cut off from Armenians and modern Armenia. Nevertheless, Mount Ararat still is a sacred mountain for Armenians.
