Noah's ark illustrated in 12th century Persian book

Noah’s Ark, from Hafiz-i Abru’s ‘Majma al-tawarikh’, ca. 1425

Just another reminder of the historical cross-cultural overlap of the Abrahamic religions.

Found at Miss Folly.

    The basic story of 8 people surviving in a boat through a catastrophic flood is found in cultures from all of the continents. Look up the Chinese character for boat.
