Concern About Celebration
“In 1910, Gertrude Bell explored
the area and found a stone structure still at the summit in
the shape of a ship, called by the locals Sefinet Nebi Nuh,
the Ship of Noah. Bell also reported that annually on September
14, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Sabians and Yezidis gathered on the
mountain to commemorate Noah’s sacrifice (Bell 2002: 289-294).”

How much weight should we give to a local
cultural celebration that occurs 5,000+ years after the
original event and we have no records of when it began?
