In 1675 Athanasius Kircher a German Jesuit scholar published a book “Arca Noe” in which he laid out the three floors of the ark with great detail. The books’ details, the ark layout and thoughtfulness were intriguing. There was really no other work like it nor any other drawings which had so much information. Although hypothetical, it stirs the imagination. Kircher’s drawing and layout is illustrated in the image below.

Based on Kicher’s drawing and his book, I created this three dimensional Noah’s Ark 18 years ago when VRML was brand new. Today’s technology is amazing and Sketchfab is a new outlet for creative 3D space. Take a look and let me know what you think.
