Dr Mariottini has called attention to a 3,700 year-old cuneiform tablet saying that the ark built to survive the world-wide flood was a circular raft made of reeds. I agree with Mariottini's assessment that the shape of the ark was more like an immense box not unlike the Ark Covenant was really a box. The Genesis account does not leave room for imagining the shape of the ark as circular. This tablet and Genesis can't both be right. SO I'll put my trust in the Genesis account. Also I have no idea how the animals could have been transported on a raft with no roof. Take a look his post.
