EDITORS COMMENTS
Agri Dagi, located in the Agri district of Eastern Turkey, is the most favoured and historically significant site for the legendary Mount Ararat, a mountain of mythic and biblical significance. Mount Ararat, known as Agri Dagi in Turkish, has been a source of fascination and intrigue for centuries due to its association with the biblical story of Noah's Ark. According to the Old Testament, after the Great Deluge, Noah and his family and animals were said to have disembarked from the Ark on Mount Ararat's slopes. The mountain's snow-capped peaks, towering at over 16,000 feet, have captivated the imaginations of people for centuries. This stunning photograph, taken circa 1835, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the mountain's mystique was just beginning to be explored. The image, with its clear skies and snow-covered peak, provides a breathtaking view of the mountain's grandeur and majesty. The historical significance of Agri Dagi extends beyond its biblical associations. It has also been an important cultural and strategic location throughout history. The mountain has been a part of various empires, including the Urartian, Armenian, Persian, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires. Today, it is a popular tourist destination, drawing visitors from around the world who seek to experience the mountain's rich history and natural beauty. This photograph, a testament to the past, serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of Mount Ararat and its place in human history. The mountain's story, both fact and fiction, continues to captivate and inspire, making it a beloved symbol of the past and a source of hope for the future.
