Most Christians identify Mount Ararat with the biblical "mountains of Ararat" "largely because it would have been the first peak to emerge from the receding flood waters", [95] and it is where most of Western Christianity place the landing of Noah's Ark. [100] A 1722 biblical dictionary by Austin Calmet and the 1871 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary both point to Mount Ararat as the place where the ark rested. [105] [106] American missionary H. G. O. Dwight wrote in 1856 that it is "the general opinion of the learned in Europe" that the Ark landed on Mount Ararat. [107] James Bryce wrote that the ark rested upon a "mountain in the district which the Hebrews knew as Ararat, or Armenia" in an 1878 article for the Royal Geographical Society, and he added that the biblical writer must have had Mount Ararat in mind because it is so "very much higher, more conspicuous, and more majestic than any other summit in Armenia."

In the aftermath of the Armenian genocide of 1915, Ararat came to represent the destruction of the native Armenian population of eastern Turkey ( Western Armenia) in the national consciousness of Armenians. [e] [152] Ari L. Goldman noted in 1988, "In most Armenian homes in the modern diaspora, there are pictures of Mount Ararat, a bittersweet reminder of the homeland and national aspirations." [153] In the early 20th century, the Italian traveler Luigi Villari wrote, "Almost the whole history of the Armenian people centres round Mount Ararat." [135] Ararat was the geographical center of ancient Armenian kingdoms. [d] One scholar defined the historic Greater Armenia ( Armenia Major) as "the area about 200 miles [320 km] in every direction from Mount Ararat." [139] In 19th-century era of romantic nationalism, when an Armenian state did not exist, Mount Ararat symbolized the historical Armenian nation-state. [140] In 1861 Armenian poet Mikael Nalbandian, witnessing the Italian unification, wrote to Harutiun Svadjian in a letter from Naples: " Etna and Vesuvius are still smoking; is there no fire left in the old volcano of Ararat?"
