It is identified with Urartu or Urardhu of the Assyrian inscriptions, a district in Armenia, in which is Mount Ararat, on some part of which the ark of Noah rested. Genesis 8:4 . The mount is situate 39 45' N, 44 28' E , and its extreme height is about 17,000 feet above the sea, covered with perpetual snow.
