Dutchman Johan Huibers has at last finished his 20-year quest to build a full-scale, functioning model of Noah's Ark — an undertaking of biblical proportions.

In the Biblical story, God orders Noah to build a boat big enough to save animals and Noah's family while Earth is covered in an enormous flood.

Huibers says he realised a 20-year dream to educate people about history and faith. The new tourist attraction has been granted permission to receive up to 3000 visitors a day.

1 ReplyJesus and all that is in the Bible are NOT REAL. Jesus never existed , He was copied from the Egyptian Book Of The Dead. Read it and you will see that all religion was invented to control the Masses, nothing more & NOTHING LESS. i respect the fact that people have faith. I need tangible proof. If any 1 has proof that anything in the bible happened or the people in it ever existed then let me know , i will be happy to listen to any Fairy Tale you can come up with.
ReplyI think there was a mystery pair that went on the ark not reported as the Bible says and Noah went forth
Replyroofie every word in the bible was written by third parties sometimes hundreds of years after the event, and then it has been rewritten and edited by every church official for the last 2000 years,in a time when people still believed in vampires and evil spirits, hardly a convincing read, good kids stories though.
