6 to 1 (length to width) seems proportional for a barge-shaped boat, which would probably handle rough water better than something round, wide open and flat.

300L x 50W x30 H does not equal round.

and God said, “Behold the reeses peanut butter cup. thy perfect shape... recreate it and inhabit it with 2 of every animal, one male and one female and one binary and one ...{57 genders later}... and don’t worry about any directional capabilities.

It seems that if it were floating with outdoor open areas, there would’ve been no need to send birds out to bring back branches/leaves. Noah could’ve seen that with his own eyes.


Birds greatly increase the distance that can be covered. An aircraft carrier has lots of outdoor open area, but the curve of the earth conceals stuff.

Of course if the earth is flat, and Noah’s vision is good enough, no need for birds.

Thank you. Wouldn’t that be obvious to anyone’s who has taken 6th grade math?

There is a real Noah’s ark in Kentucky. It’s called the ark encounter. It’s a true to size boat that shows how Noah and his family lived. You can take a tour on YouTube. It’s beautiful and doesn’t look a bit like that.

Irving Finkel of the British Museum figured out the Ark was round many years ago. Check this out...
Professor Irving Finkel -Noah's ark was round !!
Of course it was round. It didn't have sails or a motor so it didn't need a pointed end to cut through the waves.

i’ve heard rectangular to maximize the amount of interior space, and boat-shaped to make it easier to steer. Either one could be described as length x width.

This is the most absurd idea I have ever heard! What idiot would come up with this? Why not just a bathtub toy duck scaled up so all the animals could have ridden on its back? Some people should never be taken seriously.

That's a whole lot of effort to deny the simple biblical text of the Kataklusmos. "This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high." (Gen. 6:15)
