Building the Ark!

What do we discover about this man prior to the great flood, one that he was a carpenter and a designer and he with his sons had the ability to take a major construction build in world of of violence and hatred!

God commanded him to use gopher wood and pitch to make this giant ship, as the locals laughed at him.

This the one and only time that the Hebrew word Gopher is used in the whole of the Holy scriptures and many believe that it might be Cyprus wood, but we cannot be certain since all the trees of that world were crushed by the weight of the flood waters.

Genesis 6:14-19, 14.

After the flood we see the eight people were wanderers in the current Earth, but again we cannot be certain of their status in the world that was before?
