Is that how it goes? And here I've been putting needles into a camel's......
Interesting, because there is no such information on the page you linked to. Maybe you should try again.
Not that I think anyone really gives a rat's ass, but my copy of Thomas Glover's Pocket Ref (3rd ed., 6th printing, 2003) lists 12 different conversions ranging from 18.0" (England) to 26.6" (Northern 3000 BC to 1800 AD).
The listings we might care about would probably be 21.8" (Bible), 20.6" (Egypt 2650 BC), or 20.9" (Babylon 1500 BC). Most of the others are in the same ballpark.
Hope that helps.
) However, was God grateful? Of course not – He was so jealous that He removed all evidence of Noah’s good works from His autobiography.
Alice - thank you very much for that reference - a great piece of work!
I've been doing some research.....
It’s pretty obvious that the antediluvian world was actually what we now know as Atlantis. Atlantean scientists were the original discoverers of evolution, of course, and the highly intelligent population of the time rapidly realised that it was more than a Theory – it was a Fact!
For some reason, this irritated God, so He decided to destroy them all. However, when He realised that that would leave nobody to talk to in the pub of a Friday night, He thought He’d better save somebody. Just then, Noah staggered by, clutching two empty bottles of wine, belched loudly, threw up and collapsed into an untidy heap, snoring loudly.
“Perfect!” said God.

His final task was to remove all evidence of the flood, of course, a job that he managed to perfection.
It's so clear, so obvious, when you think about it....

So Noah and his science officer, Joan, set to work. Using an old matter/anti-matter generator they were able to cobble together a quantum molecular phasing compensator that created a force-field shield around the Ark. This meant that they were effectively floating above the worst that the sea could produce, and all of the poisons and pollution in the atmosphere were blocked out.
Gopher wood, as we all know, was just a brand name for a type of super-dense high-tensile ultra-steel used before the flood for large construction work.
By combining Tardis and holographic technology, Holosuites were built inside the Ark that were many time larger inside than out. Therefore, there was no problem at all with finding room for huge numbers of creatures. (Actually, IIRC some Star Trek episodes, the inclusion of Tardis technology may not have been required.
There was no difficulty in feeding all of the creatures either. A large number of pre-programmed replicators were installed at suitable points in the Holosuites, and the animals were trained to press the appropriate buttons for their meals. Carefully tuned transporter beams played constantly across the floor of the Holosuites beaming the waste material a considerable distance away. Where do you think the islands of ….. (fill in suitable name(s)) came from?
After the water had receded, Noah flew quickly around the world, returning the creatures from whence they came, not forgetting to use the phasers to reshape some rocks on Mount Arafat – sorry Ararat – to look a bit like boats, if you squint a bit and maybe put you head a little to the left…. He also replicated some planks that were artistically arranged on the mountain tops – “It’ll keep generations of evangelical archaeologists busy!”
His final task was to remove all evidence of the flood, of course, a job that he managed to perfection.
