Questions about Noah, his ark and the flood

updated 1.3.2013

  • Was Noah an action hero or the ancestor of us all?
    The bible says: »These are the clans of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, in their nations, and from these the nations spread abroad on the earth after the flood.« (Genesis 10,32). The comic that precedes Aronofsky's movie shows Noah as a brave hero (which he perhaps was).
  • What do the bible tell us about Noah and the flood?
    You can read the full story in Genesis 6–8.
  • Has Noah's ark been found?
    None of the findings in the past have been proven as real remains of the ark. The »finding« of 2010, announced by a Chinese organization, was obviously a fraud. But if we look into tradition, we can learn that perhaps parts of the ark were found in other places.
  • What can we learn from extra-biblical sources and archaeology?
    Many historical sources point to a great flood in the distant past. It seems Noah was a true person in history. Archaeological evidence of the flood is very difficult topic.
