We have no way of knowing. There are no pre-flood maps of anywhere on the earth. The flood changed everything.

The ancient riverbeds of the Euphrates and the Tigris rivers have been discovered through satellite imagery and are pretty close to today's locations. I believe the ark was likely built in the region of ancient Babylon (modern Baghdad), where the two rivers are closest to each other. This was likely a center of trade, where materials for the ark from far and wide could be gathered as well as the workers and artisans needed.

That 'ancient riverbed' takes us only as far back as the Flood of Noah. We are told that the Flood involved a terrible geographical disruption on the ocean floor. (Gen. 7:11) "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up..." And apparently this breakup continued for 150 days. (Gen. 7:24) "And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days."

(Gen. 8:1-2) And God remembered Noah...the water asswaged; The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped..."

(Gen. 8:3) "And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated."

I believe this drainage of this amount of water coupled with the already destruction of the breakup of the ocean floor, would have destroyed any resemblance of the ocean floor before the Flood.

Apparently moses wrote genesis. Isnt is weird how he knew all of these details, over a thousand years later?

I wouldn't say weird, but it was certainly miraculous, of God. (Ex. 32:16) And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables."

I believe it was a slow-moving flood caused by a rising in the ocean floor. When the ocean floor settled back down the flood receded. However, I think the drainage patterns, the rivers, likely remained pretty much as before.

You can think that, but there is nothing to indicate that.

Most believe the flood was so violent that it dramatically changed the surface of the earth. I don't believe that.

Why?

[Woodznutz]

Why?

Quantrill

I think it came in and receded more or less the same speed as the tides. Some areas might erode badly but the flat lands wouldn't be changed much. We can study floodplains and tidal plains to get a good picture of flood dynamics. To my knowledge a good "Noah's Flood" model has never been constructed.

You have nothing to compare to the flood of Noah's day.

You can't reproduce the 'windows of heaven'. You can't reproduce the 'fouuntains of the deep'. You can't reproduce what it was before the Nohaic flood.

We can speculate a lot based on the story.

Which means a complete geographical upheaval on the earth, both in the deep and on the emerging land.

Its an allegory there never was an ark
