Noah was character of books or true

I think it is BASED on a true story. But not as exaggerated as the story itself. I remember watching an episode on discovery channel which they tackled this subject. But I am not sure if I have seen it or just the commercial. I searched for it now, check this out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y5ORpMTebI It says The REAL Noah's ark.

After reading your question i did some research and found out this :- I had heard of noah and the ark, but not in detail..so here it is Noah according to Hebrew bible , was the tenth and the last antediluvian Patriarchs. The biblical story of Noah is contained in chapters 6–9 of the book of Genesis, where he saves his family and representatives of all animals from the flood by constructing an ark. About Noah :- Noah was the son of Lamech who named him Noah And as per the bible he is real and lived 950 yrs. there is more information you can check on wikipedia link :- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah

Hey ravalarun, i found out many interesting facts about noah ark... by the way thanks for asking question, it will help us all to increase our knowledge. Heres the info :- Noah's Ark was discovered in mid May of 1948 by a local Kurdish shepherd boy named Reshit Sarihan, who lives to this day (Sep. 2000), in the village of üzengili (previously called "Nasar" but changed to üzengili after the ark was discovered. - One should take note that "Nisir" was the Babylonian name for Noah's city). Heavy rains in May of 1948, combined with three noteworthy earthquakes exposed the ark impression from the collapsing, expansive and loose mud that had entrapped it for nearly 2 thousand years revealing the ark impression standing up, out of the terrain. In Josephus' time (1st-century A.D.) the Ark of Noah was well-known, because he mentions in Antiquities of the Jews , that people were still visiting the place and removing pieces of bitumen from the ark for amulets against imagined evils.
