Ark Rests High

The book begins by establishing a geological context for the Ararat region, then deconstructs flood narratives, comparing different versions of the Noah's Ark story. It correlates geological features with scientific understandings of retreating floodwaters and analyzes anomalies in light of soil formation and erosion rates. By examining the Earth sciences geography of the area, the book doesn't aim to prove or disprove the Biblical account, but to understand humanity's relationship with catastrophic events.

Ark Rests High employs a balanced, fact-based approach, drawing from geological surveys, satellite imagery, and historical texts. It considers implications for understanding other flood narratives and interprets the relationship between geology and religious texts. The book's value lies in its comprehensive integration of scientific analysis and textual interpretation, contributing to ongoing discussions about interpreting ancient texts and the relationship between science and religion.
