The ark did look like a shoe box much like what you have here and not like the fairy tale shape this one copies out of children's sunday school books. What a waste of time and money.

I read something about the proportions that God gave for this project. The article stated that a vessel this shape and proportions would be the most stable and seaworthy possible. Basically, it was perfect for the task.
