Quote:The Ararat range spans a massive area complete with the basins required for the flood of Biblical proportions (you only need ONE basin by the way). Thus the area which flooded, although we don't know the exact area, could have indeed flooded as the Bible states and had the Ark end up upon one of the Mountains
It's very unlikely that a flood could be massive enough to cover the entire Eufrate or Tigri basin. A local, more limited flood is not as unlikely (and probably a massive flood in the area is the origin for the Ark myth), but the idea of the Ark ending up one of the Ararat mountains is just a legend.
Even the shortest mountains are several hundreds meters above the sea level. A flood that massive is not only quite unlikely, it should have also left a huge amount of geological evidence.Which nobody found.
