Noahs Ark: Labor and Materials estimate.

Two of each animal- estimate of 275,000 land dwelling animals.
275,000 x 2= 550,000

Ark Dimension Necessitated- estimate 7 miles in length
3 miles in width
1 mile in hight

Materials needed for construction- estimate of 18 million trees

Labor availability- 7 humans of extraordinary lifespan

Labor hours required- estimate of 2000 years for tree fall
estimate of 4000 years for construction

needed supplies- food for animals estimate
4 oz. per animal x 40 = 10 lbs. per head
5,550,000 lbs of provisions

5 fold increase in ark size required

Excrement Removal- 4 oz. per animal per day
5,500,000 lbs of excrement

That would suck
