Noah’s Ark and the Flood
Overview of Noah’s Ark and The Flood: Genesis Chapters 6-11
The events of The Flood and Noah’s Ark begin with the DFC date of the death of Methuselah on Friday September 13 – Tishri 1 in 2458 BC on the 364-Day calendar. Noah’s family enters the Ark 47 days after the death of Methuselah’s on Wednesday October 30 – Heshvan 10 in 2458 BC. This same day on the Gregorian-Hebrew Solar Calendar is Wednesday March 19 – Adar 29, 2449 BC. Genesis 7:11-12 tells us that 7 Days later, on Wednesday November 6 – Heshvan 17, it began to rain “for forty days and forty nights.”

Genesis 7:11
DFC Date of Methuselah’s Death is Noah’s 600th DFC Year
This is the DFC date for Noah’s 600th birthday. This date is 600 years and 120 days from the date of Noah’s birth. This day is also the DFC date of the death of Methuselah and fifty-four days before it starts to rain “in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month”. At this point in time, 1,656 364-Day years plus 331 days have passed since Creation Day 3 of Creation Week in 4115 BC. This is an exact match to the 1,656 years stated in the text of Scripture from Creation Week until the start of The Flood. CD#331 is one-fifth of the number of years since Creation Week. CD#331 is the DFC date for events happening between 2461 BC and 2457 BC.

Noah and His Family Enter the Ark
Noah and his family and all the animals enter the Ark seven days before it starts raining. This is the first DIS (Date in Scripture) date recorded in Scripture. This is the first time the exact month and day of the month can be calculated from the Biblical text. Noah and his family would remain on the Ark for 382 days. It starts raining seven days after Noah and his family entered the Ark. The rain starts: “in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month”.

150th Day of Water on the Earth
This is the peak of the waters covering the earth. The waters begin to recede and the Ark comes to rest on the mountains of Ararat on this same day. This Nisan 17 date in Scripture becomes an Anchor date connecting the first day out of Egypt of the Exodus in 1445 BC, as recorded in Exodus 12:37-42. This April 8−Nisan 17 solar Gregorian-Hebrew calendar date in 30 AD is also the Monday evening of the Resurrection date mentioned in John 20:19-23.

Ark Rests on the Mountains of Ararat
This is the most important transition date in history. On this Nisan 17 date in history, the Ark comes to rest on the mountains of Ararat. Israel has its first day out of Egypt in 1445 BC on Nisan 17 according to Exodus 12:40-42. The risen Christ stands before his disciples on the evening of the Resurrection, which is Monday, April 8 – Nisan 17 on the Gregorian solar calendar, in 30 AD.

Genesis 8:6-9
Noah Opens Ark Window and Releases a Raven
Noah sends out a raven and a dove on the same day. A raven could survive on almost anything it could find to eat and would not be as selective as a dove. The raven does not return to the Ark. It could fly back and forth to the Ark but seems to have found enough food to eat as it is a scavenger.

Noah Releases First Dove
Noah sends out a raven and a dove on the same day. The dove returns because there is probably no place to land that feels as safe as the Ark. The dove is apparently more selective in what it can eat than a raven. The raven does not return to Noah.

Second Dove Returns to Noah with Olive Leaf
Seven days after the first dove and raven were released, Noah releases a second dove. When the dove returns with an olive leaf, it is a sign that new plant growth had begun. This was the first sign that Noah and his family would soon be able to leave the Ark.

Genesis 8:12
Third Dove Does Not Return to Noah
Seven days after the second dove was released, Noah releases a third dove. When the dove does not return it is a sign that birds can now survive independently of the Ark as a home base. There was now a supply of food for birds and other animals. This was a definite sign that Noah and his family could begin preparations to leave the Ark. It can be speculated that Noah would probably live near the Ark and use it as a storage barn for food until food was more plentiful and could be grown or hunted. Pictures taken by Ron Wyatt of what is reported to be the remains of Noah’s home and his wife’s tombstone can be found at the website http://arkdiscovery.com/noahsarkstones.htm.

Genesis 8:13
Noah Removes Covering on the Ark
Noah removes the Covering on the Ark on the “first month, the first day of the month”, as stated in Genesis 8:13. This date becomes a Tishri 1 Anchor date in the Bible Timeline. This Anchor date allows the exact DFC dating of many of the events from Creation Week until the first day of the Exodus out of Egypt on Nisan 17 in 1445 BC. Like all DFC dates, CD#331 is one-fifth of the number of years since Creation Week. CD#331 is the DFC date for events between 2461 BC and 2457 BC. This date is an Anchor date, a DIS date and a DFC date. See Chapter 12 for explanation of DIS dates.

Noah’s 601st Birthday
The Tishri 1 Anchor date that Noah removes the Covering on the Ark is also Noah’s 601st DFC birthday. From this Tishri 1 Anchor date in history in the Biblical text, all dated events in Scripture and world history can be calculated on calendars using the Julian Day Number. From this DFC and Anchor date in Scripture, the exact DFC of the first day of the Exodus on Friday, April 4−Nisan 17 in 1445 BC can be accurately calculated.

God Instructs Noah to Leave the Ark
This is the last specific DIS date given in Scripture in relation to the events of The Flood. Noah and his family leave the Ark after spending 382 days confined to the Ark.

Genesis 9:8-17
God Makes Rainbow Covenant
God creates the rainbow in the rain clouds as a reminder to all living creatures that He will never flood the entire earth with water again as an act of Divine judgment. As previously stated, the future global judgment of earth will come by fire. This future judgment has often been visualized as being caused by a series of explosions of matter in which the flat universe burns up like a scroll on fire. Fiery balls of matter will fall like rain on the earth and possibly other parts of our solar system. Isaiah 34:4 expresses the end of time in this way: “All the host of heaven shall be dissolved, And the mountains shall be melted with their blood. All the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; All the host shall fall down As the leaf falls from the vine, And as fruit falling from a fig tree”. Revelation 6:14 reminds the reader of Isaiah 34:4 when it says: “Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place”.

Noah’s Ark Today – Pictures
*The information below is taken from www.detailshere.com/noahsark1.htm and a great article on Noah’s Ark written by Dan Eden for view zone. The pictures were taken from research done by Ron Wyatt (links below). The pictures below are JPEG copied versions of colored pictures found at the listed websites. An Egyptian cubit is 20.6 inches. The pictures in the book, Earth’s Sacred Calendar, are in black and white.
#1 — The Visual Evidence
“The first part of the survey was to examine the object and take its measurements. The shape looked like hull of a ship. One end was pointed as you would expect from bow [below: D] and the opposite end was blunt like a stern. The distance from bow to stern was 515 feet, or exactly 300 Egyptian cubits. The average width was 50 cubits. These were the exact measurements mentioned in the Bible. (Genesis 6:15-verse added by author)
On the starboard side (right) near the stern there were four vertical bulges protruding from the mud [B], at regular intervals, that were determined to be the “ribs” of the hull [see below]. Opposite to these, on the port side, a single rib [A] protrudes from the mud. You can see its curved shape very clearly. Surrounding it are more ribs, still largely buried in the mud, but visible upon close examination.
Remember that this object, if it is the Ark, is extremely old. The wood has been petrified. Organic matter has been replaced by minerals from the earth. Only the shapes and traces of the original wood remain. Perhaps this is why the expedition in 1960 was disappointed. They anticipated finding and retrieving chucks of wood, long since eroded.”
The author of this book suggests that the reader go to the websites below for more extensive information and photos. Pictures from ground penetrating radar and artifacts can also be seen at the websites. The reader might be interested to know that an Egyptian cubit is 20.6 inches. This is the cubit measurement that Moses would have used in writing down the events of the Book of Genesis that happened more than 1,100 years earlier, when Noah started building the Ark. The length of 300 cubits would be exactly 6,180 inches or 515 feet. When Noah built the Ark, the nation of Egypt and the length of an Egyptian cubit could not have been known at that time unless it was somehow passed down to Moses in Egypt from the time of Noah. A more likely explanation is that the “words” that Moses wrote down, in the first five books of Scripture, were inspired by God. This is the unanimous claim of the writers who wrote down God’s Word in the Bible. The precise language and dates of Scripture cannot be from only a human source.
Prior to an earthquake in 1948, the outline of this structure was barely visible. After the earthquake, it seems that the structure was pushed up out of a mud shell that seems to surround it. It was thought to be a natural formation until 1977. At this time, Ron Wyatt was allowed to do a more scientific investigation with subsurface radar scans and chemical analysis. His findings clearly showed this was a man-made structure. Most, but not all, of the footage of his research was confiscated by the Turkish government. Fortunately some of the evidence can be seen at the websites listed below. Today, at Noah’s Ark National Park Visitors Center, visitors can look down at the Ark from a distance. The Turkish government does not allow touring or research to be done at the structure.
