The tablet went on display at the British Museum on Friday, and soon engineers will follow the ancient instructions to see whether the vessel could actually have sailed.
Or spun?

Makes sense given the mission and math.

15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.[d] 16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit[e] high all around.[f] Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks.
Don’t sound round.

I’m pretty sure the bible describes the ark’s dimensions. And it wasn’t round.

Now once upon a time in a nursery rhyme
Three little men got lost
Like you and me they couldn’t agree
And upon the wave they tossed
Well, I’ll sing their tune ‘cause I got marooned
With the love I can’t forget
Now the three little men just took me in
On an ocean of regret
With a rub-a-dub-dub, three men in the tub
Lost on the ocean blue
I roll like a hub, sing, rub-a-dub-dub
‘Cause you broke my heart in two

Makes sense. It was just a cork. It wasn’t headed anywhere.

When the earth was flat, it made perfect sense for Noah's Ark to be round.

Depends on long or short cubit. Short cubit was about 44.5 cm and long cubit was about 51.8 cm

"Whats a cubit?"
A little bit more than a henbit but not quite a tribble.
