    Gopher wood

    The Bible (King James version) merely tells us that Noah was ordered to build an ark of gopher wood, to pitch it within and without with pitch and that the length should be 300 cubits, the breadth fifty cubits and the height thirty cubits. And one last detail %96 the ark should have lower, second and third stories.
    In the seventeenth century when the King James version of the Bible was compiled, Great Britain was a great maritime power whose wooden ships ranged the world. So the scholars of the period probably envisaged the ark in terms of the wooden shipbuilding of their day.
    'The Discovery of Noah's Ark' by David Fasold presents a totally different picture. Fasold suggests the ark was made of reeds.
    On a mountain in Turkey not far from Mt Ararat (the Biblical Ark was said to have landed, or at least rested on Mt Ararat) is to be found a giant boat-shaped formation preserved in petrified mud.
