Ancient Babylonian Tablet Says Noah?s Ark Was Round
Read more http//m.digitaljournal.com/article/285074#ixzz2Qtjqi9NvQuote A newly translated ancient Babylonian clay tablet says Noah?s Ark was circular, rather than a traditional boat. The tablet is about 3,700 years old and contains instructions on building the round reed raft.
The Quran describes Noah?s Ark with the specific word
?l-Fulki ?Fa-Lam-Kaf = become round, anything circular, persist/persevere, ship, Ark, the place of the revolving of the stars, the celestial sphere, vault of heaven, firmament, surrounding spheres, sky, revolvement, circling, circuit, going to and fro, in a state of commotion, whirl of a spindle, one who goes round. (Tasfeer of Root word provided below).
Prophet Nuhs intention wouldn?t have been to navigate or sail. Ships (in their current shape) are designed for controlling in a certain direction.
It would have been made to be sturdy and reliable under intense weather. In water, nothing can be safer than a circular boat?..even though it lacks directional means, possibility of sinking is extremely low.
The Russian Novgorod battle ship in 1874 was perfectly round and was built specifically to create the stablest platform for heavy guns
Quote
?The perceived advantage of the circular hull form was that a shallow-draught vessel could be built with a greater displacement; A SMALL SHIP COULD THEN CARRY THE SAME ARMAMENT AS A MUCH LARGER VESSEL For comparison, a 100-foot-long (30 m) by 13-foot-beam (4.0 m) and 13-foot-draught vessel would only displace about 2,500 tons.?Even though its perfectly suited for water, the reason why it (circular ships) don?t exist today is because of its visual appearance.
Novgorod was described as the ?ugliest warship ever built?.PLease refer to my site for more info on the word Fulki.
