LONDON — It was a vast boat that saved two of each animal and a handful of humans from a catastrophic flood.
But forget all those images of a long vessel with a pointy bow — the original Noah’s Ark, new research suggests, was round.
A recently deciphered 4,000-year-old tablet from ancient Mesopotamia — modern-day Iraq — reveals striking new details about the roots of the Old Testament tale of Noah. It tells a similar story, complete with detailed instructions for building a giant round vessel known as a coracle — as well as the key instruction that animals should enter “two by two.”

To #5: Farrakhan’s “Mother Wheel” was a Flying Saucer. I heard him say that in person at the Million Man March about 1995.
I was that white guy you saw in photos of the event.
After listening to his religio-babble speech, I thought that he misspoke when he talked about the “Mother Wheel”.
Maybe a bad speaker but it really sounded like he was talking about White “Mother F*ckers”.
I could be wrong.
Excuse me while I go get some crackers and milk.
watch out for the elephants!
ROTFL!
“... two of each animal ...”
Right there you can tell that this journalist is ignorant. There were *not* a mere “two of each animal” in the ark, according to Scripture.

Isn’t it interesting that archeologists consider the Bible total myth, but when they find a tablet, it is unquestionable.
So, were cubits based on the metric system, or on the base 60 system?
Noah was gonna use a Carnival Cruise ship but
1, it was too small for his circus animals
2. the manure system never worked
3. the engines never worked in a storm
4. the animals always got sick on the food
5. the Carnival ships were always crashing onto rocks
They also found out the unicorns didn’t miss the boat..they were just a gay couple
In Egypt a cubit was the length between the elbow and the tip of the middle finger. About 18 inches. Other measures: a yard was the distance between the nose and the tip of the middle finger about 36 inches an inch was the length of the first knuckle of the thumb. etc
How long can you tread water?
This will change my entire concept of Christianity and Judaism. I must go to Colorado, buy weed and think this through. /S
