A cuneiform tablet from around 1750BCE describes a Noah type named Atra-hasis building a 2/3rds stadium size round Ark to save humans and animals from the gods wrath. One of the gods, Enki, informs Atra of the other gods plans along with how-to instructions.

Why couldn't we have had a god named Enki, is that cool or what...
Enki is from Sumerian mythology, I haven't read up on that in quite a while, might be time to dust off that chestnut.
They were quite smart or maybe "educated", perhaps by extra terestrials??? (one of the more interesting interpretations of the bible I have found)

Along with a lot of other forward thinking ideas, I belive they thought the earth was round, or at least a half globe, long before other people figured it out.
I'm very interested in the anunnaki possibilty. After much investigation it seems plausible but one thing I've learned from the JW experience is to be careful about what you believe. I always wanted peace and happiness for humanity and the paradise sounded so good at first that it clouded my judgement until i discovered it's dark underbelly. So now I'm on to new ideas with a more critical mind.
Wouldn't be surprised that in ancient times one mythological story was borrowed from one select
civilization from another. People did roam from one region to another in ancient times.
Anything that would potentially enhance the power and relevance of a particular god which that was self
created, was scribed into text or made into pictographs on temples, Noah's flood is just an example of
this.
Here is a more detailed version of the story. Thanks for sharing. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2545494/Was-Noahs-Ark-ROUND-3-700-year-old-clay-tablet-reveals-boat-coracle-reeds-bitumen.html
Endo- Mybe the Society will send out Stickers again with a Round Ark pic so the Bible Stories Book can be updated :D
Has anyone ever built and tested the rectangular model?? They should do a comparison on Mythbusters. Which floats better, which holds more kangaroos, ect..
Has anyone ever built and tested the rectangular model??
The supposed size of the Ark and the building material used has shown that it would have
broken apart under structural stress in water.
Even a circular one .
