Ararat Limestone Tilt

“There is the puzzle of the upturned limestone beds surrounding Mount Ararat, on the Turkish, Russian and Persian sides. Near the city of Doğubayazit these limestone formations, some 1,000 feet in thickness, are tilted from as much as 45 degrees with respect to the horizontal to almost vertical. The true cause is apparent, although others have not apparently sensed it. The strata dip away from Mount Ararat on every side just as the surface dirt crust does when a seedling bursts up through. Evidently Mount Ararat burst up through the limestone beds to form a near 20,000-foot peak or series of them; and, thus provided shelter for the Ark from the tempestuous storm as the waters began to recede.”
