Almost all of us have heard the story of Noah's Ark; the vast boat that saved two of each animal and a handful of humans from a catastrophic flood.

But new research suggests we should forget all those images of a long boat with a pointed bow, because the original ark in the story may have been round.

A recently deciphered 4000-year-old clay tablet gives a version of the story far older than the biblical accounts.

Irving Finkel is the man behind the translation and he joined Bill and Louise in the studio to tell them about the discovery.
