Investigating ancient building technique:

Possible way of how Noah laid the bottom hull held together across with timbers.

Only chipping away parts that get in the way to fit logs together. Not making planks for aesthetic look.

Caulking:
Pitch was used for caulking and
water proofing in Noah’s Ark

Like a floating house, The ark was intended to be a  floating warehouse to keep the cargo from getting wet – not transporting. So the bow did not have to be  pointed for hydrodynamic motion.
