I believe the original reference is the story of Noah where "the mountains
of Ararat" are identified as the resting place of the ark (Genesis 8:4).
Interesting that the story appears in an extremely wide variety of religious
traditions, many (apparently) totally unrelated.

My experience with Armenians shows them to be highly intelligent, passionately
dedicated, very capable businessmen. Interesting to note that Armenia was
the first nation to declare itself Christian in about 300 AD. In many ways
the suffering of Armenians through the centuries rivals that of the Jews.

Bob Baboian is a classic example. He was the metallurgist in charge of the
refurbishment of the Statue of Liberty, and was also chairman of the board
of the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials). Another is Bob
Philibosian, Los Angeles DA, with whom I went to school. Final example is
Ed Iskanderian (translation = Alexanderson) of camshaft fame. The IPD Street
Performance cam, lifter and pushrod kit is one of his masterpieces.
