The Durupinar site is a boat-shaped mound site in the Tenderuk mountains named after Turkish Army Captain Ilhan Durupinar who identified the formation in a Turkish Air Force aerial photo while on a mapping mission for NATO in 1959. It is near a village known as Uzengili (once known as Nasar) and a mount named Maşher Daĝi, it is near one of the mountains called Al Judi, named in the Qur'an as the final resting place of Noah's Ark. The site is located at approximately two miles north of the Iranian border, ten miles southeast of Dogubayazit, in the Ağri province, and eighteen miles south of the Greater Mount Ararat summit, at an elevation of approximately 6,300 feet.

In Abrahamic religion, The Fall of Man, or simply The Fall, refers to humanity's fall from a state of innocent bliss to a state of sinful understanding. The cause of this Fall was disobedience to God and the result of it was that humankind could no longer remain in God's beautiful Garden of Eden, or walk in the sight of God.
As told in the first book of the Bible, Genesis, Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, are created by God in his own image from the soil of the earth and are given the breath of life. God places them in his Garden of Eden and makes only one rule- that they do not eat fruit from the tree of knowledge (often symbolised in European art and literature as an apple tree). A serpent, often equated with Satan, comes to Eve, and convinces her through deception to eat fruit from the tree. Eve shares the fruit with Adam and immediately they come to a knowledge of shame for their own nakedness. God first questions them and then punishes them by expelling them from the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve's disobedience and subsequent "expulsion" has continuing consequences for their descendants, all humanity, who from that time forward must strive and suffer and die.
