It was pretty much dumb luck. In the Bible, Noah was a righteous man among a wicked people.*The dimensions of the boat are very different. The boat in the Babylonian flood story is a cube, equal on all sides. In the Bible, Noah is told to build his Ark with 450x75x45 aspect ratio. This ratio is what shipbuilders call the perfect ratio for the stability of a boat, but it was not known until the 15th century AD. Gilgamesh's boat, being equal on all sides, would have been extremely unstable and unseaworthy.* It took the Babylonian man seven days to build his boat while Noah took 120 years. Why would people so rich in numerology use a non-numerological number like 120 when seven was already in history??
