Thank You so much, you’ve answered a lifelong ? for me. My pastor said many years ago the ark was square. Never ?’d that no but never researched it either. It wasn’t made to cut through the water but just to remain afloat. God protected & guided it to where it finally rested on Mt Ararat… It was square
Noah lived for centuries! In order to live that long he had to be supernatural in comparison to man today. And imagine what a cubit might look like if he was bigger than Shaq.
Furthermore, a tapered bow and a tapered stern would lead to "hogging". See the National Geographic article on the 1990s re-fit of USS Constitution for an explanation of "hogging".
Definitely a possibility. As noted in the narration, I chose to use the more conservative estimate - the "common" cubit (about 17.5 inches / 44.5 cm). But if the "long cubit" (20.4 inches / 51.8 cm) is used, the length would indeed be about 510 feet. Thanks for watching!
You nailed it. Big container that floated.

There’s a similar one in Missouri… or Kentucky…?
