Re: A profound disturbance found in Yak butter.

Two questions: how were the reed boats made of gopher wood? How were reed
baskets arranged in three stories 30 cubits high with a window in the top
part of the structure? Seems to me you're rewriting scripture to fit a
fictional tale.

don't think poling works, even for the smaller craft that would be needed

transport only the animals found in the garden.
 
We don’t know how big the boat was. More likely it was a floatilla of
reed baskets lashed together and lined with pitch. We don’t know how many
animals he had on board and we don’t know where he landed. He may have
had a Sumerian crew who did all the dirty work. Kings and princes don’t
normally muck out stables. The same word for mountain in Hebrew also
means “hill.” There are hills to the east as well as to the north.
 
But please keep asking. These are valid questions.
