Here's a Quote fromFlavius Josephusfrom his workThe
Antiquities Of The Jewsabout The Remains Of The Ark being
located inArmenia(Modern Day Turkey)(37-100 A.D.)
"Now all the writers of barbarian histories make mention of This
Flood, and of This Ark ; among whom is Berossus the Chaldean.
For when he was describing the circumstances Of The Flood , he
goes on thus:"It is said, There Is Still Some Part Of This Ship
In Armenia, At The Mountain Of The Cordyaeans; and that
some people carry off pieces of the bitumen,which they take
away, and use chiefly as amulets, for the averting of mischiefs."--
Hieronymus the Egyptian also, who wrote the Phenician antiquities,
and Manases, and a great many more, make mention of the same.
Nay, Nicholas of Damascus, in his ninety-sixth book, hath a
particular relation about them; where he speaks thus: " There is A
Great Mountain In Armenia , over Minyas, called Baris, upon
which it is reported, that many who fled at the time of The
Deluge were saved; and that one who was carried In An Ark,
came on shore upon the top of it; and that The Remains Of
The Timber were a great while preserved . This might be the
man about whom Moses the legislator of the Jews wrote."
-Flavius Josephus
