Did Noah have slaves? Help from the apes
Some have suggested that Noah may have had slaves to help in the construction. But if this was true, it wouldn't really seem fair that the slaves would perish in the flood. It is more likely that some of the stronger apes (like the Australopithecines and Pithecanthropus erectus were used as helpers).
2 Chronicles 9:2 and 1 Kings 10:22 speak of apes (Hebrew "qowph", and also "qoph") being on board boats.
Animals like dinosaurs could be recruited to carry great loads of wood as well.
Besides there is no mention of the use of slaves to build the ark in the bible.
(*note the longevity of man in terms of hundreds of years is dealt with elsewhere on my page)
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! OMG, you are deluded!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
