| − | '''Noah's Ark''' was a large vessel described in the [[Genesis, Chapter 6|sixth chapter]] of the [[Bible|Biblical]] [[Genesis|book of Genesis]], built specifically to save a remnant of mankind and animals from the [[Great Flood|flood]]. [[Noah]] was chosen by God and warned of the impending disaster, being given a command to build the Ark to save himself and his family, consisting of eight people, and the land animals from the flood (Gen 6:14-16). At the end of the flood, it ran aground in the "mountains Ararat" (Gen 8:4), where sightings are disputed to this day. | + | '''Noah's Ark''' was a large vessel described in the [[Genesis, Chapter 6|sixth chapter]] of the [[Bible|Biblical]] [[Genesis|book of Genesis]], built specifically to save a remnant of mankind and animals from the [[Great Flood|flood]].
