after the great food, this peak becomes Of double
interest to psychologists and students engaged in
Bible research for it was here, shown this

During an expedition to the summit of Judi

what he believes to be ndisputable evidence that
the Ark landed this great mountain.
Agri Dagh, or Urartu, in Turkish Armenia, is
evidently the mountain referred to in the Bible as
Mt. Ararat. The natives around Judi Dagh, Chris.

and his flock first set foot upon their peak after
the flood. No such claim has ever been made by
the natives dwelling within the shadow Of Mt.
Ararat.
