The Search For Noah's Ark Presentation

Doves – Genesis 8:8-12

That the pigeon was already at least partially domesticated in Mesopotamia after Noah’s time comes from al’Ubaid, where a row of sitting pigeons is pictured on the limestone frieze of a temple façade dating from ca 3000 B.C. The pigeon’s homing instinct to return to its nest from considerable distances also must have been recognized and exploited since earliest times. Noah evidently had knowledge of this homing instinct when he sent forth a female dove from the ark.
