Mount Judi, Mountain summit in Şırnak Province, Turkey
Mount Judi reaches an elevation of 2,089 meters and stands at the intersection of Turkey, Iraq, and Syria near the Tigris River headwaters.
Ancient texts identify Mount Judi as the landing site of Noah's Ark, with archaeological findings including wood and asphalt fragments dating back 6,500 years.
Religious groups gather annually on September 14th at the mountain summit to commemorate Noah's sacrifice through traditional ceremonies and observations.
The mountain location requires advance planning for visits due to its position in a remote area with limited infrastructure and seasonal weather conditions.
German geologist Friedrich Bender discovered pieces of wood and asphalt at the summit in 1953, leading to scientific investigations of the mountain.
