What year was Noah's Ark built?

Answer 1

The exact date is not mentioned in The Bible, but as it is written early in the book of Genesis it before calenders were there to help man, we can only asume it 400,00B.C.

Answer:

Scripture doesn't state directly but gives several clues. In Genesis 5:32 it says Noah was 500 years old and had 3 sons. In Genesis 7:6 it says Noah was 600 years old when the Flood began. It lasted 1 year and 10 days. Then in Genesis 11:10 it says that Shem was 100 years old when his 1st son is born. Consider that Noah began the ark construction when 500 years old and it took him 100 years to complete.

These dates are used by some scholars for the above time period:

Noah is born 2927 BC

Youngest son Shem is born 2425 BC

Begins Ark in 2427 BC

Takes a Century to build from 2427 to 2327 BC

Flood begins 2nd Month, 17th Day, 2327 BC.

Land Dries in 2nd Month, 27 Day, 2326 BC.

Shem has 1st son Arphaxad 2 years from the Flood beginning 2325 BC

Jewish answer:

Jewish tradition places the flood in 2104 BCE.
