HARUN YAHYA

Thus, the ark was readied for movement by the stove's bubbling or,
in other words, by the stove boiling. Indeed, in his commentary,
Hamdi Yazir of Elmali says that the ark was "a kind of steamship
powered by a stove":
Tannur: Described in the dictionary as a closed oven or stove. The word
"fara" means boiling and spurting with great force and intensity. . . . In
other words, it implies that the boat is not a sail-powered one, but is
reminiscent of a steamer powered by a stove. 37
Major advances in science, art, and technology were made also
in the time of Prophet Solomon (pbuh). The Qur'an indicates, for in-
stance, that transport vehicles as fast as airplanes were used in his
day: "And We gave Solomon power over the wind – a month's
journey in the morning and a month in the afternoon" (Qur'an,
34:12).
This verse clearly indicates that long distances could be tra-
versed quickly. This points to wind vehicles that used a technology
similar to that employed in our own day. (God knows the truth.)
Moreover, the Qur'an reports that:
They made for him anything he wished: high arches and stat-
ues, huge dishes like cisterns, great built-in cooking vats.
