Noah and the Great Ark

Here, three History Channel programs examine the Biblical tale of Noah and the Ark in fascinating detail. "Mysteries of the Bible: Noah and the Flood" (1994) endeavors to learn if the fabled story could, in fact, be a true historical event; Bible scholars and other religious teachers profile Noah, in "Noah and the Ark: Voyage to a New Beginning" (1997); and "Mega Disasters: Noah's Great Flood" (2008) explores how rising sea levels caused a natural cataclysm that may have been the basis for the Noah story. 135 min. total.
