The problem with that is the first planks put in would have already ROTTED away long before the 500 years needed to build it.
********************************
Language has changed and in particular numbers and time in the bible are symbolic to a great degree ,, I’m not the brightest bible scholar but I know enough to understand that the number “40” doesn’t mean 40 ,, it simply means A LONG TIME ,, my 500 year guesstimate was just based on the sheer immensity of the job , that it was one families work , they couldn’t devote all their energy to it and the lack of modern tools. You should take it to mean “a long time”.
Oh, okay, I'll do that.
