Q: Does anyone know how old Noah was supposed to have been at the time of the building of the ark and how long he was supposed to have lived?

Do you have a Bible?

Good question. Noah was exactly 600 years old when he entered the ark according to Genesis 7:6. He began having children when he was 500 years old (Genesis 5:32) and Shem, the middle child, turned 100 two years after the flood (Genesis 11:10), so Noah began building the Ark at roughly the age of 500. It took around 100 years to build the ark, which is a very reasonable amount of time for Noah and his three sons, plus perhaps hired labor if they were wealthy in their time.

Wow. You're just like all the FReepers who expect the rest of us to Google for them.
