    Ararat. «¦one cannot imagine a more impressive center of Universe»

    The frozen top of the mountain proudly towers over Araks river
    valley. The location is veiled with mysteries and is the cradle of
    biblical stories. According to the Bible it was Ararat that first
    appeared from the subsiding waters of the Flood, becoming the first
    landing place of the dwellers of Noah's Ark.

    For centuries Mt. Ararat has been considered an unconquerable
    summit. Mystery intertwined with real perils here: frequent
    avalanches, thick fog, rock slides, and temperature perturbations. In
    1829 the 37-year-old German professor Johann Jacob von Parrot reached
    the impregnable summit from the third attempt. In memory of this he
    put a wooden cross there. When he looked around from the top of the
    mountain, he said: «If this is really the place where man first set
    his foot¦.then one cannot imagine a more impressive/dramatic center of
    Universe».

    Ararat arouses admiration in everybody who is lucky enough to behold
    this mountain in all its beauty and magnificence. And despite the fact
    that today this mountain is in Turkey, Armenians still consider it as
    their sacred mountain.

    Ararat view is a musical video-film with original music. The film
    features various views of Mt. Ararat. The DVD also includes a bonus `
    a short film about the conquest of the peak by a group of Armenians.

    ARARAT (Arm. ` Masis) is the highest volcanic massif on the Armenian
    Highland situated in the East of Turkey, near the border of Armenia
    and Iran. It consists of two, merging at the bases, cones of extinct
    volcanoes of the Great Ararat (alt. 5165m) and Little Ararat
    (alt. 3925m).
