What I found out about the measures of the Arc was:
"If we conservatively assume that
a cubit was 18 inches (U.S.),
we can conclude that the ark was about
450 feet (U.S.) long,
.75 feet (U.S.) wide, and
45 feet (U.S.) high.
.
The interesting thing about Noah's ark
its construction, was on a 1:6 ratio.
Naval architecture reveals that this is
THE MOST STABLE RATIO
for an ocean - going vessel.
It could have easily survived even big ocean waves
and would be next to impossible to capsize.
.
The total volume of Noah's Ark was roughly 1.5 million cubic feet,
(not like on that pic:1.396,000 cubic feet),
which is equal to the total capacity of more
than 570 standard stock cars used on a typical railroad." http://www.biblestudy.org/basicart/was-noah-ark-big-enough-to-hold-all-animals.html
. A few years ago we had a speaker from Hamburg
here in Muensterdonia .
In his younger years he was working for a
Container-Ship Company in the construction bureau
near the Harbour of Hamburg.
He once asked an older drawer of these objects,
why they always used that ratio of 1.6 in their drawings
for the containers for the ships.The older man replied:
”It´s an old ratio..must be as old as Noah´s arc.
It´s the “UNSINKABLE-factor”.
.
What JEHOVAH God had Noah make, would be nothing less
than the BIGGEST ship of its kind for many, many years
until man began to build even bigger ships in the late 1800's A.D.!
.
And as we know today, ships became bigger & bigger & more luxurious.
And a lot of theeze "unsinkable Luxurious Liners"
do not exist no more.
WHY...???
They been build by engineers & high educated people.
But The Arc was build by laymen...
with JEHOVAH in their back
But the engineers had forgotten one simple,
natural formula ..the God-given 1: 6 ratio...
You only know them from movies like "Titanic" and others.
And their names no one remembers today.
.
But that simple but LIFE-SAVING ratio 1 : 6
and NOAH`s & JEHOVAH´s name ALWAYS will remain (Y) :-)
