Ptolemy, Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat

Ptolemy's map of Armenia with Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat was based on the description contained in Ptolemy's book Geographia, written 150 AD. Although authentic maps have never been found, the Geographia contains thousands of references to various parts of the old world, with coordinates for most, which allowed cartographers to reconstruct Ptolemy's world view when the manuscript was re-discovered around 1300 AD.
