This is gonna mess up Bill Cosby's Noah routine:

He'llhave to change from:

"Right ... what's a cubit?"

To:

"You're asking me if I know what Pi is, Lord? Of course I do - Pi 'R' round ..."

[Mark17]

Who knows what the shape of the ark was. God saved only 8 people. I wonder how many people were killed off. I have heard some people estimate as many as 150 million. Who knows for sure, but I think it was a large number. No one should ever say that God does not get a little hot under the collar once in a while. He does.

Amazing that err they don’t realize who Moses is. Moses educated in the court of Pharaoh had access to much better documents. It is possible that there were people around who knew Shum Japheth and Ham who educated Moses.

Makes sense to me.

The Ark wasn’t built to navigate anything, just float. A round vessel would float very well. With no bow & stern, I would think the rocking motion would be minimized.

They might have used a replica of God’s haircut bowl....

What does the Biblical text say?

"Back to work boys. Break time is over. Oh, and Irving Finkel has a small re-design
he wants to discuss so we may be a little late getting off work tonight."

"But forget all those images of a long vessel with a pointy bow - the original Noah's Ark, new research suggests, was round. "

Hmm, who to believe---the British Museum or the Bible?

Yeah, I think I have the answer.

How would a 450 foot long vessel of any shape stay together without any nails or metal fasteners in raging flood waters?

These idiots need to just go up and look at the Ark, it is definitely not round!
