God saw that mankind had completely fallen and showed their immoral behavior everywhere, so he said to Noah, "The end of mankind has come, because they are full of evil, so I will destroy them with the earth." Build yourself a cedar ark with a cabin and asphalt inside.
The ship you built should be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. There should be a light-transmitting window 18 inch high at the top of the ship, and the door should be opened on the side of the ship. The whole ship should be divided into upper, middle and upper floors. "
"Look, I'm going to drown the earth, drown all the creatures on the earth and destroy them. But I want to make an agreement with you that you and your wife and children can walk into the ark together. Among all kinds of animals, you should bring males and females into the ark to save our lives. In addition, all kinds of birds, livestock and reptiles should be brought into the ark in pairs according to their species to save their lives.
You should also bring yourself all kinds of food and store it as food. Noah did everything according to God's command.
The Lord said to Noah, "You and all your family are going into the ark! Because in this generation, only you are upright in my eyes. You should take seven pairs of clean animals, one pair of unclean animals and seven pairs of birds in the air, so that they can breed on the ground in the future. For after seven days, I will rain on the earth day and night for forty days, and destroy all the creatures that I have created with my own hands. 」
Noah did everything God told him. When the flood flooded, Noah was 600 years old. Noah, his wife and children all entered the ark to escape the flood. Clean animals and unclean animals, birds and all reptiles on the ground entered Noah's ark in pairs according to God's command.
Seven days later, the flood began to flood the ground. It was on February 17th, when Noah was 600 years old. All the underground water and floods flooded, and the water in the sky opened. It rained cats and dogs and flooded the ground for forty days. The rising water made the ark float.
The flood came and flooded the earth, but the ark floated on the water. ? The water is getting bigger and bigger, and the mountains on the ground are flooded. Finally, the water is 22 feet higher than the mountain. All living things in the world, including birds, domestic animals and wild animals? Animals, reptiles and humans are all dead.
Everything on land that breathes through its nostrils is dead. In this way, the Lord destroyed all living things on the earth, including people, animals, reptiles on the earth and birds in the air, leaving only Noah and those who were in the same boat with him.

Modern exploration of Noah's ark;
Chinese and foreign expeditions claimed to have discovered Noah's Ark in Turkey.
20 10 on April 28th, an expedition team composed of Hong Kong people and Turks announced in Beijing that the remains of Noah's Ark had been discovered at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters in Alarat Mountain in eastern Turkey, and it had successfully entered the giant wooden ark. The expedition also found pottery, ropes and similar seeds in the ark. This discovery has attracted the attention of Turkish government officials.
In an exclusive interview, members of the expedition said that the remains we found were 99.9% sure of Noah's Ark. The Ark * * * has seven spaces, the largest of which is 5m high and10m long. The ark is divided into upper, middle and lower floors, and there are several compartments in it, one of which has a wooden fence and some ropes. We guess it was used by Noah to imprison animals.
The expedition said that they had identified the carbon element in the remains. It turns out that the remains of this discovery can be traced back to 4800 years ago, which is also the time of Noah's Ark mentioned in the Bible.
Gretel Ayrton, a famous Dutch ark explorer who participated in this expedition, said that many details of Noah's ark discovered this time are consistent with historical records: the height of the ark is more than 4,000 meters, and the ark is slightly inclined on the mountain, which is brown-red wood and quite long rectangle. Elton said that there is a lot of evidence that this wooden structure is the relic of Noah's Ark recorded in the Bible.
Misin-Blue, director of the Cultural Bureau of the Turkish Yale Province, said that for more than 2,000 years, historical records and eyewitness evidence pointed out that an ancient ship had escaped the flood and anchored in Ararat Mountain. People believe it is Noah's Ark. And this rectangular wooden structure discovered in this expedition, as well as preliminary scientific research, we think this is the remains of Noah's Ark in historical records.
The amazing discovery of the exploration team did not convince everyone. Some media said that the wooden facilities in the ruins seem to be made of cypress, not Gefei wood mentioned in the Bible.
At the same time, Nicholas Purcell, an ancient historian at Oxford University in England, also said that such discoveries are often published, and the statements made by explorers from China and Turkey are nothing new.
