A doomsday dream of massive flooding prompted a Dutch
man to build a modern day Noah’s Ark that is 100 yards long and four
stories tall.
Johan Huibers, head of a
construction company in Dordrecht, Holland, said he started work on the
mega-ship three years ago. Now nearly complete, the ark has gone from an
Armageddon escape vehicle to a major tourist attraction.
“I dreamed that a part of
Holland was flooded,” Huibers explained in a Today show segment. “The
next day, I get the idea to build an ark.”
The ark, which Huibers
insists is seaworthy, sits in a shipyard. It is identical in size to the
one the Bible says Noah built, 300 cubits in length, 30 cubits high,
and 50 cubits wide.
