Well, whether it's true or not, the Noah saga is a pretty good story, and the source of some very good songs.

Wikipedia says the dimensions of the ark were specified in Genesis as 300 cubits in length, 50 cubits in width and 30 cubits in height (440x73x44 ft where the front is a golden ratio). The "Ark Encounter" ark is 510 feet (160 m) long and 81 feet (25 m) high, so there seems to be some disagreement about size. Anyhow, we can safely say that the Ark was about 500 feet long, made of gopher wood - whatever that is/was. The battleship U.S.S. Missouri is 887 feet long and 108 feet wide, so the Ark was/is considerably smaller. I saw the Missouri in Hawaii. Our cruise ship, the Pride of America, was considerable larger at 921 feet in length and a beam of 106 feet.

AIG is Answers in Genesis, a corporation founded and headed by Ken Ham. Ham, of course, is the second son of Noah. Shem and Japeth died some 6,246 years ago, after surviving the Big Flood and spending many years being fruitful and multiplying.

You can get tickets for the Ark and the neighboring Creation Museum at https://arkencounter.com/

And the Ark has its own YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwFrI64absE3Zo8025TfVeQ

The State of Kentucky awarded a hefty tax break of $18 million to the museum:

There are lots of good stories in Genesis. I personally see them as sacred myth, but I don't really get too concerned about whether to believe them or not. But they're good stories, and I wouldn't mind seeing the Ark and the museum. It could be a fun place. The planned Tower of Babel could be very interesting, and I wonder how they'll depict the Garden of Eden and Sodom and Gomorrah.
