| Apparently Karahan Tepe is the sister site of the originally discovered Göbekli Tepe, the oldest temple site in world [1]. It's also claimed by some archeologists as the very first site of human civilization [2]. In Göbekli Tepe not only human faces, they are also many stone craving of animals or better known as Noah's Beast [3]. Both historical sites Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe, are not very far from Mount Ararat and Mount Judi, they are within a few hundreds of km in Turkey where Mount Judi is the closer of the two. Mount Ararat is claimed by most Bible scholars as the site of the landing of Noah's Ark after the great flood [4]. According to Quran scholars, however, the actual site of the Noah's Ark resting place is Mount Judi as the word Judi is clearly and specifically mentioned in the Quran in the story of prophet Noah, inside Surah Hud 11:44 [5],[6]. In the Bible however, no exact mention of the name of actual site, and the Mount Ararat is just a mere speculation by the Bible Scholars based on story of legends [4].
