Where and When This Took Place

Many people wonder where all of this took place? We know the Ark landed in the mountains of Ararat (Genesis 8:4), but we cannot know where the Ark was built since that world was destroyed (2 Peter 3:6). Throughout biblical history, it appears that people hesitated to move and spread out as God commanded (Genesis 9:1). Many people also question when these things took place. Utilizing genealogies in the Bible, we know the flood was close to 4,400 years ago, roughly 1,650 years after the creation. Noah was 600 when the Flood came. From Scripture, we know the dare of the start of the Flood (Genesis 7:11), and when they left the Ark (Genesis 8:14-15), so we know they were on the Ark for a little over a year.
