Certainty, honestly rated
One securely identified site, one approximate region, and one honest unknown: the confidence spectrum the whole collection preserves.
Abram reaches Shechem and builds an altar
Genesis 12:6-7
Tell Balata is the widely accepted archaeological identification of ancient Shechem.
The fall and expulsion from Eden
Genesis 3:1-24
The candidate polygons illustrate proposals only. OpenBible classifies Eden as unknown while preserving several speculative regional proposals. Candidate regions are separate records.
The ark rests in the mountains of Ararat
Genesis 8:1-14
The text names a mountain region, not the modern summit specifically. Genesis says the mountains of Ararat, a regional expression broader than the modern peak.
