Johan Huibers, who owns a construction company, built in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, a ship that is generating great interest. This is a scale replica of Noah's ark, keeping the proportion of measures with which he built his Noah, according to the Genesis account ..

The shipyard, located an hour from Amsterdam-Johan has been working for three years unstinting detail. The ship is designed to the specifications of the Bible in terms of size and the same (even has an upper window to let fly a crow or a dove as told in the Bible). The result is an impressive ship, which has four floors and the length of a football field.

Although there is no way to corroborate the exact size of the giant vessel biblical scholars of the time argued that measured about 300 cubits long by 50 wide and 30 high, equivalent to about 140 × 23x14 meters. Those are the measurements of the ark Dutch, with an investment of nearly $ 1.6 million.

A DREAM

Huibers She told in an interview with 'Today's Show "on NBC, dreamed for years that the Netherlands suffered a major flood. The next morning, he woke up determined to prepare for the worst case scenario, even though he recognizes that disaster does not believe his ark should be a solution to survive.

The boat is generating great interest on the Internet. In recent weeks there have been numerous searches for "photos of Noah's Ark" and "the royal ship of Noah's ark."

Follows the pattern of size and shape of the Bible. Támasis navigate the river in the London Olympics of 2012. & Nb ...

The ship is not yet complete but construction is progressing well. The sail plan is Huibers the Thames when the London Olympics be held next year. On board were a bunch of plastic animals-size, one pair of each type of course.

Then think about turning your work in a zoo and tourist attraction at a time, but estimated that at least 100,000 visitors need only to cover the costs it has had.
