MEASURES OF NOAH'S ARK
Main dimensions of Noah's Ark, namely it's length and breadth and even positions of it's transverse and longitudinal bulkheads, was measured by use of so called NR - radar. The radar was moved along regular lines above the Noah's Ark and signals telling about the presence of iron were registered. Places of signals were mark up by white ribbons. The results were printed on a plotter too. This way there formed a set of lines above the Noah's Ark that clearly minded a deck, sides, bow and stern of a ship and lines between sides that however do not reach outside the sides. The curved signal lines of sides coincide at both ends of Noah's Ark, at it's bow and stern.
Transverse bulkheads of Noah's Ark listed from stern to bow.

It is amazing how accurately the dimensions that Holy Bible gives to Noah's Ark agree with the measures made from the finding. When the measured length is divided by length of the ancient Royal Egyptian ell 0,5241 m it results the length of Noah's Ark as 300 cubits that is the length Holy Bible gives to Noah's Ark.

If the area calculated from the results of the measurements of the deck 4112 m2 is divided by length of Noah's Ark and the result is converted to cubits, that is 4112/157,2/0,5241 we see that it's mean breadth is 50 cubits that is the breadth Holy Bible gives to Noah's Ark.
Holy Bible gives height of Noah's Ark as 30 cubits i.e. 15,7 m. |
