Tablet Linked To Noah’s Ark Noah’s Ark, a story in the Book of Genesis, tells of a devout man who survived apocalyptic worldwide flooding by building a wooden boat, called an ark, at God’s instruction. Noah, his wife, their three sons, and their sons’ wives were the only humans to survive the flood, their lives spared thanks to their loyalty to God in a corrupted and evil world. When the flood was over, the ark came to rest “upon the mountains of Ararat.” 6.
