Noah's Ark

A vessel preserving life through catastrophe.

Origin

In Genesis, God floods the world to purge corruption but instructs righteous Noah to build a ship and carry two of every animal aboard. Forty days of rain later, the world resets.

Modern usage

Used metaphorically for any preserved remnant during a wipe-out โ€” seed banks, archives, escape plans.
