Built upon the 'Noah's Ark', the magical 'Khor Virap'

Measuring the 'Garden of God forgotten' Caucasus with footsteps 🚞 Station 37▪️Country 44🇦🇲𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐚☆Armenia▶️'Khor Virap Monastery' (the pit monastery, formerly a dungeon), located at the foot of Mount Ararat (also known as 'Mount Ararat', now within Turkey), offers a perfect panoramic view from the monastery's viewing platform. The sight of Mount Ararat and Mount Aragats is vivid before the eyes. Mount Ararat is a symbol of the Armenian nation, and its image is on the coat of arms of Armenia. Mount Ararat is the legendary final resting place of Noah's Ark. Many say 'God said let there be light, and there was light, and there was Armenia'. This was once a vast empire, the first country in the world to recognize Christianity as the state religion, and the final resting place of 'Noah's Ark' in the Bible, as well as the 'Garden of Eden'. When the great flood receded, 'Noah's Ark' hit Mount Ararat and stopped, and Noah's family, who survived the catastrophe, descended from the ark with various animals, some of whom stayed in the Caucasus mountains, while others went far and wide. The most special thing in the monastery is that mysterious building, going down the narrow, very narrow, very difficult stairs, oh it's so hard to go down, let's see what's down there, oh my goodness, it's a sarcophagus, seems like it should be a tombstone, wow so narrow, so narrow, look at the state now, such a small entrance, and then we have another place to explore over here, we see there is an iron staircase, right here wow I feel it's quite dangerous if one accidentally misses a step. Below the stairs is a huge underground chamber, where an uncle is confessing, so he temporarily became our tour guide. It turns out that this underground chamber was a place for ascetics to meditate, and Jesus had practiced here for fifteen years. When the ascetic reached the underground chamber, others would seal the only entrance with stones. The ceiling of the underground chamber has a fist-sized hole, which is the only way to communicate with the outside world, and every day at a specific time, a nun would deliver bread through the hole to ensure the survival of the ascetic. The feeling of staying in the underground chamber for 10 minutes is one of stuffiness and oppression, just imagine what it would be like to stay in an underground chamber without any light source for 15 years?
