Great stone anchors from Ark of Noah at Kazan. Photo of our late-great friend, Dave Fasold leaning on one of the 12 or so, flail-anchor stones discovered by the also late, Ron Wyatt at the village of Kazan, 14 miles to the west of the ark landing site at Naxuan.

Great stone anchors from the Ark of Noah.
Late, perhaps Byzantine, crosses are carved on this ancient basaltic anchor stone found at a town that was called "Arzap" on 1941 military maps, but now known as "Kazan," while Kazan, in-turn was found to the southeast by five miles or so, on these same maps. What does this more ancient name Arzap mean? In Turkish, arzap means to take possession of the earth or land. Arz meaning earth or land, and Zapt, means seize or take possession. (Langenscheidt Universal Turkish).
While in Shemetic (Hebrew in this case) eretz means earth, or land and zab means "-to cling to, as a lizard clings to a rock." (Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible)
The ancient place name Arzap, clearly implies the Ark of Noah remained at anchor above this village site, where 12 such stones are found, from the 17th day of the 7th month, when the ark touched the earth with its great anchor stone (several anchors were immediately dropped to insure a firm grasp on a submerged earth surface unseen for 150 days), until sometime after the 1st day of the 10th month when the "tops of the mountains were seen." Genesis.
