The ceiling
The story shown on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel begins with God creating the sun, moon and planets. The next image displays when God created a dome that separated the land from the waters. Then came the creation of God's perfect creature, human beings, as well as the expulsion of them (Adam and Eve disobeying God). The end shows the story of Noah and how he took one male and one female on the ark to keep the species alive (the flood).
