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?

Rub-a-dub-dub, animals in a tub.

Makes sense given the mission and math.

[PLMerite]

I like big round ones. Uh, belay that.

[Alex Murphy]

Could this be the origin of Louis Farrakhan's "mother wheel"?

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.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

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

watch out....those aliens are coming back to get you /s

[GraceG]

It was an alien spaceship carrying DNA samples from every animal species...

Too bad the unicorns didn’t get their free cruise...

If the Earth is 6,245 years old or something around that number (consult with Harold Camping followers here), then what was the year of Noah’s Ark?

[Rembrandt]

In North Vietnam, round boats are commonly used as fishing boats.

[Secret Agent Man]

i will go with the bible’s dimensions over some iraq tablet. the fact is it has perfect stability ratio/dimensions most ships today are built with.

"...the original Noah’s Ark, new research suggests, was round."

uhh...no.

[KingLudd]

Lost me at “modern-day Iraq.”

[Salvavida]

A recently deciphered 4,000-year-old tablet from ancient Mesopotamia — modern-day Iraq

Which eliminates it from being a primary source. Jesus authenticated the Torah. What else ya got? I

[arthurus]

I don’t think that was Noah’s boat. It was some other fellow.
