Book Reviews of Walking the Bible: A Photographic Journey
Book Review: Jeers to the way it describes Mt. Ararat
Summary: 2 Stars
The author Feiler wrongly ignores (or honestly doesn't realize) that the Holy Bible claims mountains of Ararat to be where Noah's Ark landed. Not Mt. Ararat itself. In the early Christian era (long after the Old Testament was written down) Mt. Ararat was known instead as Masis Mons or Mt. Masis. The people of the early biblical writers's time all felt the Ararat region where the ark landed was far south of where Mt. Ararat is. There are many mountains that have traditions of being the mountain of Noah's Ark.
Feiler also refers to WW1 Russian pilots spotting something resembling the ark on ararat. This story is rather fictional. It was pretty much created by one writer Benjamin Allen in 1940 for a magazine. Roscovitski was the name of the pilot that Allen invented to have seen the ark.
