Zone1 Where was the ark built?

[Mr Natural]

What I can’t figure out is Noah built that Ark to save all those critters.

In the WHOLE WORLD, nobody else had a boat that could survive?

And where did he find two polar bears in the Middle East?

Icebergs float

 

[Stryder50]

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

Got them from the Sumerians, who got them from the Anunnaki.

 

[Woodznutz]

And where did he find two polar bears in the Middle East?

God brought the animals to the ark. Noah didn't have to go looking for them.

 

[Stryder50]

Well then, where would the allegorical location of the building site most likely have been?

Don't recall the city name at the moment, will have to look it up later, but in today's SouthEastern Iraq, near the current Persian Gulf. A bit inland from the coast line since silt deposits of the last few millennia have filled in the delta.

How did He get them there?

That would work.

 

[Woodznutz]

It doesn't say.

I believe the flood was another "ruin/restoration" event. Only certain animals were saved on the ark; others were restored/recreated after the flood, along with the flora.

I see.

Yet another one of those “mysteries “.

All will be revealed some day.

 

[Mr Natural]

All will be revealed some day.

Some day

 

[Woodznutz]

Some day

Til then I don't give it much thought.

 

[rightwinger]

Noah’s ark is the ideal children’s story with happy animals loading on the ark.

Until they ask what happened to those who did not get on the ark……..Then it becomes a horror story

Let's pretend Russia isn't located on the same continent.

Did you know polar bears could swim?

How Long Can a Polar Bear Swim Without Stopping?​

In 2008, researchers tracked one adult female that swam continuously for 232 hours (over 9.6 days) through the frigid waters of the Beaufort Sea.

So they swam from Arctic Russia all the way to the Middle East?

Why would they do that?

 

[Woodznutz]

Yet another one of those “mysteries “.

Quite few mysteries in the Bible.

 

[onefour1]

The Bible tells us that it wasn't until after the flood that the earth was divided.

• Genesis 10:25
  And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
• 
  1 Chronicles 1:19
  And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother’s name was Joktan.

My personal belief is that the earth was one land mass until the days of Peleg. It was then that the earth was divided into separate land masses. Peleg came after Noah and Noah begat Shem, Shem begat Arphaxad, Arphaxad begat Eber, and Eber begat Peleg according to Genesis 10. So Peleg was Noah's great, great grandson. This would indicate that the earth wasn't divided until after the flood and all the animals could migrate unto the ark because it one land mass before the days of Peleg.

LOL

Traveling by land would be called walking.

The Anunnaki had a genetic bank off-planet, in orbit.
Also the whole planet wasn't covered in deep water. For one, there isn't that much water on Earth. For other, it was more a regional event in some parts of the world and might have been massive tsunami actions.
