This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.'" Matthew 26:27-28. According to the Bible, "Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you. The Holy Grail, also called the Holy Chalice, is the cup Jesus supposedly used at the Last Supper, which he had with his disciples before he was crucified. Many scholars regard the story as mythical and do not believe that Noah's Ark actually existed. While a Mount Ararat exists in eastern Turkey, in the area where the borders of Turkey, Armenia and Iran intersect, it is not clear if this is the "mountains of Ararat" referred to in the Hebrew Bible.Įxplorers have been searching for Noah's Ark for centuries but have never found it and likely never will. When the floodwaters receded, the ark came to rest on the "mountains of Ararat," the Hebrew Bible says. That way, the world could be repopulated after the flood.Īfter the ark was built and the creatures placed inside it, according to the Hebrew Bible, the Earth was flooded for 150 days, killing everything that moved on land. Before this happened, God told a man named Noah, whom God believed to be righteous, to build a massive ark made of cypress wood and house within it Noah's wife and children, along with male and female pairs of every living creature.

A story told in the Hebrew Bible says that God flooded the entire world because humans were becoming too wicked.
