Possibility of Noah's Ark Pre-Flood World 360 vs. 365 Days in a Year
Now that Noah's Ark has most probably been found (http://www.noahsarknews.com/), is there a possibility that the pre-flood world time lines were based on 360 vs. 365 days in a year before Noah's Ark? Pre-Flood Mesopotamian (early Babylonian) tablets used the numbers 360 and 60 as their numbering system. It is possible that before the catastrophic Flood of Noah there were 360 days in a year, 30 days in a lunar cycle and 360 days in the Zodiac cycle. The Zodiac cycle would not have changed, but the earth cycle may have changed from 360 days to 365.25 days. Thus the original Zodiac cycles now take 365.25 earth-days instead of pre-Flood 360 earth days. This would explain why we still have 360 degrees in a circle today.
If the earth was not tilted, the annual seasons would be based on the earth orbiting the sun and when the earth was closest and furthest from the sun rather than the drastic seasons caused by the tilt of the earth's orbit. This would explain the Biblical age of humans as about 700 years average, which changed after the Flood to 70 - 120 years (Genesis 6:3) , or three-score years and ten, as told in Psalm 90:10 and the sun, moon and stars were used to tell the times and the seasons accurately in accord with Genesis 1:14. There is now a distinct possibility that Noah's Ark pre-flood world had 360 days in a year instead of 365.25 days. This may also explain why the date of the Jewish festivals pre-flood timelines change now from year to year.
