From the workshop
Notes from the building of House of Noah: what Genesis says, what history, archaeology and the studies add, and what we had to model where the sources are silent. Every page gives its sources.
A roof that sheds the rain
Genesis says the ark was finished “in a cubit … above”. What that might mean, why the game's reference ark has a gently sloping roof after Rashi, and what the slope cost the hull.
How big was the ark? The long cubit and the real size
Genesis gives the ark in cubits, but which cubit? Why the game uses the oldest measuring rod ever found, and what 155 metres of ark looks like beside things we know.
What was gopher wood?
The Bible names the ark's wood once, with a word nobody can translate for certain. What the oldest translations, the rabbis and the scholars say, and why the game builds in cypress.
