Biography: Noah & the Ark

This edition of Biography, the long running documentary series from A&E, explores the life of Biblical character Noah. He is described as a "righteous man" who was given divine instruction to build an ark in which he, his immediate family, and a selection of animals were saved from the flood which covered the Earth. Historians and scientists share their theories about Noah's ark and how one family, Noah and his sons (Japheth, Ham, and Shem), became the ancestors of all the nations on Earth.
