“made of bitumen”

That got me looking up what the heck bitumen is. Really interesting. Roads, boats... Is there anything it can’t do?

It was perhaps the "little" Noah's Ark that was towed behind the big boat. It housed domestic cats...they were too stuck-up to sail with the regular animals.

I've got one in my lap as I type. She concurs.

Doesn't look worth fixing up.

Something like 200 ancient civilizations had a foundational flood story, including the Aztecs.

In the Epic of Gilgamesh (which is the oldest notable literature and second oldest religious text know to exist), Gilgamesh was king of Uruk (same place as this boat). The Epic contains a flood story that has many similarities to the biblical story of Noah but surviving written copies are a few centuries older than the Hebrew Old Testament. The oral tradition of Gilgamesh is probably at least a thousand years older than that.
