Hmm
Colonial Dick Hucker wonders about Noah. . . 

Putting aside the religious baloney touted as fact, and looking at, say 
Egyptian artefacts of that period, it is quite popssible for bronze tools 
to have been in use for dealing with major timbers.   Holes can be 
produced  using bronze tools of the flat bit configuration.  For 
drawknife, you could read 'knife' though again, a bronze implement would 
be possible. 

The notion of a huge wooden ship constructed on mediaevel lines which is 
the one painted in the story books so often would be inappropriate for the 
period. 

I wonder when mankind *did* first start making and using something the 
size of a boat - the investment in time for even a dug out canoe, built 
with fire or tools, must have been enormous.  And what would you do with a 
hollow log anyway=3F 

"hey - you seen what crazy Eddy is doing over there - taking all the 
middle out of that log - been doing it all summer "

"haha  - he reckons its going to carry him over the river - as if a 
regular log doesn't do that. . ."

- Well, something like that anyway.. 

> But if Noah built the Ark as we are told. .
>. . what tools did he use some 4000 yrs. ago=3F
