This is how you are to build it: The Ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. When you visit Noah’s Ark, you are not only immersing yourself in the world of animals, but you are also helping to protect them and their habitats – both locally and around the world. During the Victorian age, with the new science of archaeology, Europeans began excavations throughout the Middle East. Uncovering vast libraries of cuneiform tablets, they discovered an early version of this story in the Sumerian/Mesopotamian/Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh (c. 1300-1000 BCE). Gilgamesh was a legendary king of the Sumerian city of Uruk. Gilgamesh sought the secret of immortality. Through his travels, he narrated the story of a great flood. One of the gods, Enlil, sent the flood to punish humans for their “great noise” (or, their evilness). The Epic of Gilgamesh is notable for its similar details of not only a flood story, but with the “cubits,” the use of “pitch” (tar) to seal the structure, and even sending out the birds.
