Noah's Ark

The Bible contains no indication whatsoever, either before or after the flood of what Noah's personal appearance was. This is so because it focuses on his actions and on the judgment of the flood rather than personal appearances.

Genises 7:14, God spake unto Noah; "Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of the beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female." This indicates 2 of each animal that were forbidden to eat and 14 of each animal that were edible.

God spoke to him (Genesis ch.6). Nonetheless, he is not listed as one of the forty-eight prophets (Talmud, Megillah14a, commentaries), since he himself is not recorded as having spoke for posterity.

Probably because Noah had to fit 2 of each of the animals in the ark, and if the ark was too big then it might have took too long to build, or maybe if it was too big it would become too heavy, or so; and not too small or else the animals would not fit. In my opinion, I think the dimensions were not big enough to fit 2 of every single animal ever created because I think dinosaurs became extinct because Noah did not take them on the Ark. But, of course, that is just my belief. The dimensions might have also been so specific because God wanted to test Noah if he would do as God told him.

A team of evangelical Christian explorers claim they've found the remains of Noah's ark beneath snow and volcanic debris on Turkey's Mount Ararat. Turkish and Chinese explorers from a group called Noah's Ark Ministries International made the latest discovery claim Monday in Hong Kong, where the group is based. The wood came to be 4,800 years approximated. This time is the same approximated time based on the Biblical stimates.

While Adam and Eve are mentioned in the bible, it is perhaps best to think of them as the first man and woman.

We know that the first man and woman originated somewhere in Palestine well before the Greek, Roman or British Empires came into being.

Thus whatever language Adam and Eve spoke, it would be very unlikely to have been English, Greek or Latin. It is known what language Adam and Eve spoke from Anna Katharina Emmerick:

The first tongue, the mother tongue, spoken by Adam, Shem, and Noah, was different, and it is now extant only in isolated dialects. Its first pure offshoots are the Zend, the sacred tongue of India, and the language of the Bactrians. In those languages, words may be found exactly similar to the Low German of my native place. The book that I see in modern Ctesiphon, on the Tigris, is written in that language.

It is known that before Babel, all of the world spoke one unified protoindoeuropean language. Most languages had not yet been created in the time of Adam and Eve because this process did not start till the time of the Tower of Babel, and many of the languages we know today did not exist even at the time of the Tower of Babel because they developed later as people spread out on the earth. Though Adam and Eve's language is never mentioned in the bible, the first half of the scriptures are known as the Hebrew Testament. The language which their confused descendants spoke would most likely have been some form of Semitic tongue.

The ark was built in the city of Suruppak a short distance from the unseen Persian Gulf so that in 150 days it was pushed north-west up river 520 miles to Mount Ararat where it grounded on the peak 22 feet below the ocean surface and then the ark slid down durin 74 days at which time Little Ararat peirced the surface so that the (two) "mountains" were seen. Asteroid impact 2370bc Julian Nov 20, then 2nd floor door sealed with tar on Nov 27, the whole sky vanished for 20 days other than the fact day-light was distinguishable from night at which mid-point is called The Crossing (Dec 17 Saturnalia) and the rain conintues 20 more days befopre stars come out with the rise of Saturn and rise of Jupiter and rise of Venus with the first new sun rise. A very clear bright new sun never seen before created distinct exact-lined shadows for everything on 2369bc January 6 the Epiphany of Venus. This is not the winter solstice, which is 3 days later 2369bc Jan 9. The anniversary of this date occurs every 365 leap days (1460 years) 909bc and 552ad and 2012ad. Julian Jan 6 is our Gregorian Jan 19 which has received Islamic threats annually since the rise of Venus in 2006ad.

No one knows- there is no historical or archeological evidence that would make it clear. However it is known that the Black sea was formed by a major flood event when the Mediterranean sea burst through what is now the Bosphorus. An approximate date for this has been calculated as 5600 BC. This shattering event may well have been what formed the basis of the Flood story in Genesis.

It is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible. In some old Jewish texts (in the mediaeval midrash Book of Jasher) however, she is named Naamah.

the raven probably got drowned , and died.

Gen:6:3: And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

It took one hundred twenty years to build the Ark.

The rain lasted 40 days and 40 nights, according to Genesis 7:12 and 17]. But God didn't tell Noah in advance how long the rain would last. God just let Noah know that the rain would begin seven days after Noah and his passengers boarded the ark [7:4, 10].

Cain's eldest son is recorded in Genesis 4:17 as Enoch (not the same Enoch that God later took from the earth).

The cubic footage of Noah's Ark was 1.54 million. This is calculated using the dimensions provided in the Biblical account as follows. In Genesis 6 v 15 we read:

15And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. This relates to 459 by 75 by 44 feet, all based on the standard cubit of the day.

Yes. Bovine creatures, like cows(animals who"split the hoof and...chew the cud") (Leviticus 11:3) would be considered a 'clean' animal, suitable for sacrifice, so there were undoubtedly representatives of the bovine family on the ark(Genesis 7:2), though perhaps not the domestic cow we're so familiar with today. The now extinct"Aurochs"(urus), is believed by many to be the forerunner of domestic cattle, and they, or another earlier form, might possibly have been the bovine representatives on the ark from which all other breeds of cattle descended. The Bible doesn't say specifically.

Many believe it was most likely October.

Genesis 7:11 says that the Flood of Noah's day began on the 17th day of "the second month," The second month in Noah's time corresponded to the month Bul, (or Marheshvan) on the Hebrew calander, which, in turn, corresponds to late October or early November on our calendar.

Noah forgot no animal, but there is a legend that the unicorn was forgotten.
