It is worth noting that, contrary to Armenian Apostolic Church discourse and popular knowledge, it was probably as late as the beginning of the second millennium AD when the localization of the biblical Mount Ararat was permanently moved from the highlands hemming upper Mesopotamia to Mount Masis in the heart of historical Armenian territory. Ararat is an asteroid named in the mountain's honor. It was discovered in 1992 by Freimut Börngen and Lutz D. Schmadel at Tautenburg Observatory in Germany. The name was proposed by Börngen. [209] The Turkish name is Ağrı Dağı [24] ( [aːɾɯ da.ɯ]; Ottoman Turkish: اغـر طﺎﻍ Ağır Dağ), i.e. "Mountain of Ağrı". Ağrı literally translates to "pain" or "sorrow". [19] [25] [26] [27] This name has been known since the late Middle Ages. [25] The 17th century explorer Evliya Çelebi referred to it as Ağrî in the Seyahatnâme. [28]

[82] Later in the 19th century, two British politicians and scholars— James Bryce (1876) [83] and H. F. B. Lynch (1893) [84] [85]—climbed the mountain. The first winter climb was by Turkish alpinist Bozkurt Ergör, the former president of the Turkish Mountaineering Federation, who climbed the peak on 21 February 1970.
