Where did Noah live when he built the ark?

Answer 1

Given most Biblical events take place in the Middle East, probably the middle east!

On the other hand, there's no good evidence that the Ark was even built at all, so it's hard to say where it was built.

AnswerAs The Bible states in Genesis 8 v 4 the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. This is the only available clue as to the location of the Ark at the end of the flood.

The Bible gives no indication at all as to where the Ark was built. Certainly the surface of the earth was drastically restructured by the flood event and so the pre-flood world would have little or no resemblance to the pre-flood world anyway.

AnswerThe ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat on the same day the waters began to recede. If all the mountains were covered then the ark could only come to rest on the highest mountain which would be Mt Ararat itself.

There isa no indicatoon that the flood drastically altered the surface of the earth.

AnswerActually, the Ark was built in what is now modern day Baghdad, at the very spot where Sadam Hussein erected his statue. Thus, when American troops pulled down the statue, they fulfilled a prophecy that Christian warriors would tear down false gods. Charlton Heston proved that the Ark came to rest on the top of Mt. Ararafat (though it should be noted that he played Moses in the 10 Commandments, and not Noah!). It is hard for us to see evidence of the Great Flood but that is only because we are too close to earth to do so (just as it is hard for ants to see the patterns of their hills). But from space, as Christian astronaughts have pointed out, the many hidden lakes are visible, the remnants of a great flood that must have flooded the land, and then dried leaving these puddles behind (not really puddles: the lakes mentioned above!)Answer

We need to separate fact from fiction here. In the story of the bible there is no place where it states the Arks origin. But as this is a story it really doesn't matter

Mt Arrarat references have to be taken with a pinch of salt. Firstly because modern scholars believe that current mount Arrarat was perhaps not the one mentioned in the Bible. Secondly, The mountain was not THE highest one, simply the highest in the region. If you believe the Earth was covreed with water then Everest at 29,000 feet has to be the real peak (If you believe the story Everest must have existed as water erodes and does not build mountains up)

Nobody has 'proven' the resting place of the Ark. There have been no comments from Christian astronauts. Either way you do not need them as the Earth has extremely detailed satellite mapping. The current mapping does not fit in the slightest with the proposition written above.

The place that people do sometimes point to on Arrarat is a formation of rocks that happens to be a rough chape of a boat. This is just a lucky formation of rocks - if you drop them all over the Earth as Nature does then some will look like a boat (how many times have you seen shapes in the clouds). There has been no wooden evidence found.

The story of the Ark is also counter to not one, but every scientif branch and fact we know. Cosmologists know the age of the Universe to be around 14.5 billion years old (BTW the sub-atomic particles in your body were around at the Big Bang so you could glaim to have been preset at the Big Bang).

Dendrochronolgy also points to a much older Earth. Radiological studues show the Earth as about 4.5 Billion years old.

My point is that not just one, but 20+ ways of measuring short medium and long term time all agree on these. None back up the biblical account in the slightest.

Some other thoughts for you. Noah took no fish. So what you say? Well, salt water fish wont survive in fresh water and visa versa. The large amount of fresh water would have killed pretty much all fish

Where were the insects? There are many more species of those than any other animal type and they will not survive without land.

There are too may ways to shoot down anybody who wishes to believe this as fact.

If you are religious then I ask... didn;t Jesus clearly show he jnew what a parable was? Could this not simply be a parable?

And finally for those Creationists out there I have a question. Which Creation? Genesis documents TWO creation stories that are quite different. The first creation is effectively ignored by the second which occurs just a few verses later.

Answer 2

The ark was built approximately 2300-2500 BC. It took around 100 years to build, bearing in mind that it was a massive structure and it is doubtful he had much help and certainly had no chainsaws.

Answer:

According to tradition, the Flood was in 2104 BCE. Noah built the ark in the decades before that.

Anyone wishing to see marks of the Flood can do so by visiting what is called the Painted Desert, or the Grand Canyon. It has level watermarks in the cliffs. This is seen by believers as evidence of the Flood. Equally important (if not more so) is the worldwide tradition of a vast Deluge.

Answer 3

Noah would have lived in his own dwelling for the period that it took to construct the ark. It is unclear exactly where this was located.

2.The world ended during the flood and the world we have now is VERY different.
Some call the old world Antediluvian, and others associate that word with Atlantis.
BUT: Noah had advanced knowledge from Antediluvia, and it seems that he may
have not moved very far away from the place he embarked. There is enough information
preserved to roughly estimate the location of the Garden of Eden and that it existed
in 4004BC, and the flood happened in 1492BC (approximately). This information does
correspond to history but geologists ignore it in disbelief and prefer "billions of years"
of geologic time. Water has been found on most planets and moons, and Mars has
dry river beds and other evidence that it once had much more water than is known
to be there now. (Did a moon or comet hit Mars and hurl almost all of it's water at Earth?)

Answer 4

Yes. In the Old Testament, God was angry with how his world had turned out so he asked Noah to build an ark. This was so he could collect two of each species and destroy everything so he could start over.

Answer 5

The biblical answer is that the Ark was built around 4,300 years ago. Science does not support that answer, because there never was a great Flood as described in the Bible. And scholars say that the story of Noah's Ark was really based on the earlier flood story in the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Answer 6

The Bible story says that Noah's Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat, which happens to be the highest peak in the Middle East.

Because the Bible gives such a precise location, many have sought to find evidence of the Ark on Ararat, without any success. We are unlikely to ever find the Ark on Ararat or anywhere else, since scholars regard the story as a myth, not history.

Another answer from our community:

I believe Noah's Ark landed on the Mountains of Ararat where it still is to this day.

Answer 8

I don't know , but I do know the ark landed on mount Ararat. (Armenia?) and archaeologists also discovered a structure the exact size as the bible says Noah's ark is.
