From a recent Faithlife post:

In studying Noah and the flood I have reached a very strong roadblock. Many translations say the Ark landed on Ararat while others say the Ark landed on the Mountains of Ararat. At least one Bible Dictionary states that the Ark landed on Lubar of the Mountains of Ararat. Now Dr. Samuel Shuckford, in his "The Sacred and Profane History of the World Connected" states that the Mountains of Ararat are in central Asia in Bactria, north of Afghanistan.

This shows that it isn't just me that wish the base of the BK entities - people, places, things, events - be expanded to cover the pseudepigrapha and apocrypha which has somewhere by someone been treated as canonical regardless of its legalistic status.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
