FOUND IN THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHERN FRANCE
In the former region held by the Knights Templar, guardians of pilgrims to the Holy land from ca. 1120-1312, Arcadia, a region in the Pyrenees, heretofore well-known area for mystery and legends of the Templars, with castles, redoubts, walls, fortifications, hidden and discovered treasures complete with geometric puzzles of buildings and alignments is found a reference to the Ark of Noah and Naxuan. The Templar Knights were disbanded under Philip King of France as a powerful "state within a State" financiers of the pope and the king of France and seen by the king as dangerous. These Knights Templar had many excursions in the Holy Land and environs. They became obsessed with the search for the "holy grail" and other lost artifacts such as pieces of wood from the "true cross." Of course, the Ark of the Covenant was on their list of things to find.
In the middle of their former territory is an enigmatic mountain that looks for all the world like the mountain in eastern Turkey where the ark of Noah landed. The strange thing about this mountain is that it doesn't have a French name at all, but bears the same name as the ark mountain "Cordou" ("Cordu" in Turkey) meaning "of the Kurds." In the painting "The Shepherds of Arcadia" by Nicolas Poussin a very famous court painter of the king, the mountain is rendered in the background. When compared to its namesake in eastern Turkey the relationship is at once realized.

The question is, How, if there was never meant to be a comparison, did the very un-Frankish (non French) name "Cardou" become applied to a mountain in France that is nearly a twin to the namesake mountain that the ark of Noah landed on in Turkey originally called "Cardu"?
How indeed?
The knights Templar were in a perfect position to see the remains of the Ark of Noah as it stood nearly 1000 years ago on the singular mountain called "Cardu" (cudi dagi) in Turkey. For the name variants of the mountain of the Kurds, see Bill Crouse's 1992 paper on the Ark of Noah: at http://noahsarksearch.com/noah.htm Bill has identified the wrong Mt. Cardu (Cudi Dagi) There are three in Turkey, but neither of the other two have an ark impression, or the city ruins of Naxuan.
The contention here, obviously, is that this newly found information adds immeasurably to the identification of the ark landing site 17 miles south of Mt. Ararat at üzengili village, Agri province where the footprint-impression of the ark still stands today for all to see.
A French Topographic/travel map is shown here (QUILLAN Alet-le-Bains) to identify the mountain and its relationship to two town names that also bear a strange similarity to the names, and relative positions of the first two cities of civilization, Naxuan and Seron, however, with a Templar cypher attached, and that is the P.S. code from inscriptions and parchments from the Templar Rennes-le Chateau. For an unedited version of the map, click here. In this code P = N for Naxuan thereby "Pachevan" in France stands for Nachevan (a variant spelling for Naxuan), and "s" in the next town name, "Serres" = n the final letter, making Serres = "Serron" the second city of civilization.
It is clear that these last two names are harder to accept as direct evidence. But there is no ambiguity as to the name and shape of the mountain Cardou.
One additional point of correlation exists.

The place at which the painting "The Shepherds of Arcadia" was executed by Poussin, lies directly on the Paris "0" meridian. The French use their own system of geo-coordinates, and consider Paris the center of the world. The mountain "Cardou" is also intersected by the Paris "0" meridian. What is interesting about this fact is that the ark mountain in some ancient accounts is called "Baris" (see Josephus Antiquities of the Jews). How does this name Baris compare to Paris on might ask? Well to answer that question, we go to Byblos on the Levantine coast, which means "Bible" or "book." Now this word Biblos comes directly to us from Papyrus the Egyptian word for paper and hence book, which is made of paper (the English word paper also comes from Papyrus). How again you ask?
Quite simply in ancient Shemetic languages such as Egyptian and Hebrew the letters B and P are often interchanged, since they are both "labials" and produce nearly the same sound. Thereby papyrus = babyrus. Next, we do the same thing with R and L, which actually are the same letter in Egyptian, and present a well known speech problem for some people such as the Chinese and Japanese -- Rs being substituted quite freely for Ls. Now we can say Papyrus indeed equals Bablus - and hence = Byblos, vowels being freely interchanged in ancient languages. In consonantal Hebrew lacking vowels, it is simply, pprs = bbls .
Lastly applying this linguistic data to "Baris" the alternate name of the ark mountain in Turkey, we can see a similar relationship to "Paris" in la belle France, and the reason the mountain is called "Cardou". C'est la! Voilá.
The mystery of the ark mountain is unraveling before our very eyes.
