Notes: If this area isn't historic then I don't know where is. The world totally and completely changed during Noah's flood but once the ark settled on Mt. Ararat, they stepped out into the world over which we are flying today. I'm sure that Noah's grandchildren, as teenagers, explored all around this area....
