As a professional shipwright with power tools, I have a lot of respect for what they're doing. It is hard to fathom the amount of work required to build something like this. Thousands and thousands of hours by dozens of men.

Also keep in mind that they're working in blistering desert heat, lol. They're absolute fanatics. I dig it.

The passion of the Dhow owner and the Pakistani builders is so remarkable, and what makes Dhow building an art.

I saw working Dhows in the Indian Ocean in the 70's. I was taken aback, did a double take, when one day I saw a red Camaro sports car On the bow being transported!

I love your videos, I know short videos make a big impact, but I wish they were longer with more of everything. Want longer videos maybe like ten minutes. That would be awesome!

Hey everyone, the greatest info that I have had was by following the Mikes Sweat Blog (i found it on google) - without a doubt the most useful idea i've tried.

There is another video about this dhow in which the maker says the wood comes from India.

@MrOuchiez 8 жыл бұрын

Weli Hassan Although I agree that deforestation is a terrible thing, Its clear the wood theyre using is from India, as I saw quite clearly that the whole logs that were delivered had Indian language/characters on them. Not everything is a conspiracy. Search for the video I reference and you will finally get it. Cheers!

The ark was 300 x 50 x 30 cubits. If the cubit of the time was 18", that would be 450 by 75 by 45 feet. The cubit is typically measured from elbow to fingertip. The pre Flood cubit may have been more, or less, depending on average arm length at that time. (Genesis 6:15).
