what tree was noahs ark made from?

Answer 1

As of date there is no confirmation of any trace of the ARK. Without something to authenticate this answer can not be answered. Theories are many. I would go to Egypt and research the timbers found in the Great Pyramid to identify a species of tree that could have been in use for such a vessel. Logic may give discussion that all the trees may have died in the flood and in doing so a name could not have meaning without a reference. Modern names for extinct species are what they are and will be based upon the discover who is given the right of naming or giving a label of such.

Answer 2

Gopher wood: Gen 6:14 states that Noah built the Ark of גפר (gofer, more commonly gopher) wood, a word not otherwise known in the Bible or in Hebrew. The Jewish Encyclopedia believes it was most likely a translation of the Babylonian "gushure iş erini" (cedar-beams), or the Assyrian "giparu" (reed).[10] The Greek Septuagint (3rd–1st centuries BC) translated it as ξύλων τετραγώνων ("xylon tetragonon"), "squared timber".[11] Similarly, the Latin Vulgate (5th century AD) rendered it as "lignis levigatis", or "smoothed (possibly planed) wood". Older English translations, including the King James Version (17th century), simply leave it untranslated. Many modern translations tend to favour cypress (although the word for "cypress" in Biblical Hebrew is erez), on the basis of a misapplied etymology based on phonetic similarities, while others favour pine or cedar. Recent suggestions have included a lamination process, or a now-lost type of tree, or a mistaken transcription of the word kopher (pitch), but there is no consensus.

Answer 3

about the only tree big enough to make an ark from would be a sequoia, he had to go to california first to get one, which took a while,but he eventually found the biggest tree in the world, took even longer to carve it out, it's quite a story, check it out in the book of noah chapter 10 verse 11 thru 14

Answer 4

Well back then boats were made out of baskets woven together and attached to each other to make larger floating devices a boat as we no them today was not invented then. so I would have to say whatever they made baskets out of. And the great flood was only a river overflowing it, was not a global flood. Think of it like this 2,500+ years ago if you lived along the Mississippi and it flooded like it is very common to do, You too would think the world as you knew it flooded also since the world to a person of that time was about the size a Louisiana/Mississippi. A lot of this crap if you read the bible is just silly to think people of the 21st century still believe and worship this. And the basket method is fact not fiction of what they used as floatation devices.

Also it is said Noah "can't remember his real name" was a merchant that used his local river to transport livestock of that time chickens,and such. and he happened to be on the river when it flooded, And as simple the mind was then you can only guess what he was thinking. This is also where him loading up animals came from. A lot of lives were lost from local small villages living along this river when the flood came which made the "Noah" story more popular in its time.

Answer 5

The abundant trees in the region were palm trees and olive trees, I believe that Noah built his arc with timber acquired from olive trees. God bless the oil derived from the fruit of the olive tree, for it was made to be good to the heart and to man's prostate.
