There are ancient flood stories from all over the world: mainly because nearly all parts of the world have suffered from floods periodically.

Do a google search for "ancient flood stories from around the world".

Do you have a real name or are you really hiding behind anonym to ask for verification?

Are you sure you don't want to invite poisonous responses?

There is nothing, as I say NOTHING, wrong about asking that question. It is something very wrong asking anonym and more so to ask for verification that way.

What did YOU come up with so far as verification and what sort of websites did you consult? Flooding occured and occurs all the time. Somebody will have had a name Noah and he loved animals and reproduction so much that he took a couple of everything and settled on a swimming island!

I think it is mostl likly true but I will not verify. I simply can't and dont want to.

The ball is in your corner! Go for it!

Myth. The total amount of water on Earth is not enough to create a flood of that size.

If Earth takes a deep breath we rise. If Earth exhales we sink!

If all glaciers melt we have enough water to wipe all civilisation at the shore lines of this world! 100 m is enough! Maybe less! How could Noah actually know about the Himalya still sticking out when it was 1000 miles away? I think the myth is maybe a distorted truth! Maybe! I want OP to come back with something more than a teaser!

Maybe the OP has been washed away by flood-water.

It is said that before that flood there was a large amout of ice in the space, continents ware connected together with less sea water than we have now.

It is said also that there was no 4 weather seasons but only one - earth shifted in its rotation.

"...the size of a transportation railway train of 1,000 wagon."

Would you document this? I remember something like 300 X 50 X 30 cubits... considerably smaller than your measure reference.

I didn't ask how big you are, I asked who says Noah's Ark is "...the size of a transportation railway train of 1,000 wagon."

Boxcars go from about 40' to 85' for an auto carrier.

So, if we went with 50', that's 50,000 feet long.

The longest ship I can find is the Knock Nevis at 1,503'.

This must surly classify as a miracle.

Yeah, I think somebody slipped a few decimal points when saying a thousand... ten rail cars (wagons) I could believe.

Shirley would be a miracle indeed!

Actually the size of Noah Ark is equal to the size of modern oil tanker and that size is equal to the size of 1,000 railway transportation wagon......That is scientists calculation...... Before the flood there was no rain but plants used to get water from the moisture in the air......There was one weather climate, no 4 seasons as we have to day because the earth axis shifted few degrees after the flood.....large amount of ice was in the space around the earth .

Did the TV show quote any references or attempt to substantiate any of the details they portrayed in anyway? Or should it just be considered as one persons speculation on what might be?

I had first class!

The seafood was excellent.

Mice everywhere though.

And flies? I can't tell you.

No skeet shooting though, guns hadn't been invented yet.

It doesn't look like Gopher Wood to me, it doesn't look like it has been coated with pitch inside and out and it just doesn't smell like it has been lived in by a bunch of mammals for over a month. I would say they didn't replicate every aspect very well. I wonder how well it floats and if it would be stable?

Flooding by huge Tsunami is believable but figures may be exaggerated.
