“And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.” -Genesis 8:4
Noah’s Ark — the world’s first submersible, built to endure, not to sail.

🔨 Materials in the Ark Narrative
“Gopher wood” (Genesis 6:14) — Hebrew word is rare/ambiguous; some translations suggest cypress, cedar, or even a type of laminated wood (planked or pitched).
“Pitched inside and out with pitch” — waterproofing method, much like ancient bitumen used in Mesopotamian boat-building.
Dimensions (cubit-based): ~300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, 30 cubits high (roughly 450 ft × 75 ft × 45 ft).
Pitching inside & out: Suggests it was designed to be watertight — an essential trait if submersion (or partial submersion) was expected.
Noah was given precise instructions on how to build his ark -
"God said to Noah, " I have decided to put an end to all people. I will destroy them completely, because the world is full of violent deeds. Build a boat for yourself out of good timber; make rooms in it and cover it with tar inside and out"-Genesis 6:13-15
In the Babylonian text Enuma Elish (pre-dating the bible) it also describes a great flood where the god Enki gives his chosen survivor Atrahasis the same instructions on how to build his ship. Enki spoke of a boat that had to be "like a boat of the Apsu, a Sulili-Hebrew (soleth) to denote a submarine. The boat had to be "a boat that can turn and tumble".
In the Epic of Gilgamesh, we see the same exact story with Noah (Enochs descendant) and Utnapishtim. Mayan writings of the region in question of impact have similar flood stories as well.
"Take with you seven pairs of each kind of ritually clean animal, but only one pair of each kind of unclean animal. Take also seven pairs of each kind of bird. Do this so that every kind of animal and bird will be kept alive to reproduce again on the earth"- Genesis 7: 2-4
How could Noah possibly contain multiple pairs of each and every kind of animal with limited space yet alone have enough feed for them all for 40 days at the same time keeping them from killing/eating each other in rough waters? In the ancient alien theory, it has been suggested that what Noah had in fact created was a submarine carrying a gene bank through artificial insemination. As farfetched as the idea may be-it definitely seems more logical than what we currently understand regarding the Great Deluge. Enki "God of Wisdom" could surely orchestrate something of this magnitude.
Elijah and King Ahaziah
Multiple verses in this passage suggest some kind of drone or aerial weaponry. Perhaps the same technology we see used in Sodom and Gomorrah.
When an officer of the King approached Elijah, he was met with what is clearly advanced weaponry.
"If I am a man of God," Elijah answered, "may fire come down from the heaven and kill you and your men! "At once fire came down and killed the officer and his men." -2 Kings1 1:10
"Once more the king sent an officer with fifty men. He went up the hill, fell on his knees in front of Elijah, and pleaded, "Man of God, be merciful to and my men. Spare our lives! The two other officers and their men were killed by fire from heaven; but please be merciful to me!" -2 Kings 1: 9-15
"They kept talking as they walked on; then suddenly a chariot of fire pulled by horses of fire came between them, and Elijah was taken up to heaven by a whirlwind" -2 Kings 2:11
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former"- Einstein
"Wise sayings are too deep for stupid people to understand. They have nothing to say when important matters are being discussed"- Proverbs 24: 7
