Best Answer
A:
The Book of Genesis says that Noah was born some 890 years before Abraham was born. He lived another 350 years after the Flood, therefore living until Abraham was some 60 years old, yet he played no further part in the biblical story. He did not use his personal acquaintance with God to argue against the rise of new religions, and Abraham was not aware that he had a living ancestor who could have provided testimony for his God.

Neither Abraham nor any other national leader kept in touch with Noah nor sought his advice on any matter. It is as if he ceased to exist once he had fulfilled his biblical role of surviving the Flood.
