According to the Epic of Gilgamesh, Mt. Nisir is the resting place of the ship built by Utnapishtim. Despite the precise descriptions in the Epic of Gilgamesh, those curious have never attempted to search for the remains of the giant ship on Mt. Nisir.[2] An alternative translation of "Mount Nisir" in the Epic of Gilgamesh XI,141a is based on the ambiguous words: "KUR-ú KUR ni-sir held tight the boat."[3] The Sumerian word KUR can mean land or country or hill, but not mountain. In Akkadian, KUR with the phonetic complement -ú is read as shadû which can mean hill or mountain. The second KUR is a determinative indicating that nisir is the name of a hill or land or country (or in Akkadian a mountain). But Thompson [4] read this determinative as matu, an Akkadian word for country. The country Nisir may have got its name from nisirtu which means a locality that is hidden, inaccessible, or secluded. Hence the boat may have grounded on an inaccessible hill.[5] References1. ^{{cite book|last=Scolnic|first=Benjamin Edidin|title=If the Egyptians Drowned in the Red Sea where are Pharaoh's Chariots?: Exploring the Historical Dimension of the Bible|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1afWPqclgHYC&pg=PA40|year=2005|publisher=UP of America|isbn=9780761831471|page=40}} {{coord|35.5000|N|45.4167|E|source:wikidata|display=title}}2. ^Werner Keller, The Bible As History: A Confirmation of the Book of Books, trans.
