The following ascii artwork is from a file called,
"ARK of Noah" by Michael Stevenson located on the

A. GOPHER WOOD: - as previously described, it is a
process of manufacture of product, as opposed to
a species of tree, according to the sources. This
process, which produces a wood similar in strength
and construction to plywood would probably by the
strongest of its day.
...a process, not a species

D. LENGTH:"Three Hundred Cubits" It is generally held
that a "cubit" was a distance of about 18 inches. So then
the overall length of the Ark would be 450 feet.

The Math
~~~~~~~~ 300 cubits X 18 inches = 5400 inches
5400 inches / 12 = 450 feet
E. WIDTH: "the breath of it shall be fifty cubits"
Now, with our familiar cubit of 18 inches we can
also determine the width (breath) of the Ark of Noah.

were saved! Thinking of this low figure in <-----------'

amount! Very small indeed.

AC->More than just dog breeds would have to be included in the

GOD's word of course tells us clearly that the ARK of Noah
ran aground in the mountains of Ararat, but when closely read,
we see that the word is very precise about this location. In
Genesis 8:4 we read;
*-------------------------------------------*
| And the ark rested in the seventh month, |`*
| on the seventeenth day of the month, | |
| upon the mountains of Ararat. | |
*-------------------------------------------* |
`*-------------------------------------------*
MUST have landed at the highest point on the mountain
range. What is the highest point in the Ararat range?
It is Mount Ararat itself. _ (former)
