Mount Ararat, Corduene, 1658 AM: Noach sent out the dove from the teivah.

This is according to the opinion of Rabbi Yehoshua that the mabul–great flood started on the 17th of  Iyar. R’ Yehoshua is also the one who claims that the world was created in Nisan, and it is according to his opinion, that we recite Birkas HaChamah every 28 years, the first Wednesday after Tekufas Nissan–the vernal equinox.
