Thank God for this story... I started my deconstruction here 🙏❤️
Noah’s Ark: 134 m long, 22.25 m wide, and 13.1 m tall (Genesis) …giving it a footprint of about 2,982 m².
Now suppose there are just 3,000,000 species on Earth (a very conservative estimate), with two of each species on the Ark, plus Noah’s family of four. That gives us 6,000,004 occupants.
2,982 ÷ 6,000,004 = 0.000497 m² per occupant …..roughly 4.97 cm², or 497 mm².
And that’s just the floor area, before accounting for food, water, waste, storage, passages, and the different space requirements of millions of animals.
So even under extremely generous assumptions, the logistics of fitting millions of animals onto the Ark are… interesting. 😂
For context, 497 mm² is like 9% the size of your atm card. That’s the space each animal would have occupied. 😅😅
