What a wonderful way to bring the Bible to life! Dutchman Johan Huibers has built a replica ark in the town of Schagen in the Netherlands. The ark is 150 cubits long - half the length of Noah's - and three storeys high. A cubit was about 45cm (18in) long.When you enter the ark, you'll see life-size models of giraffes, elephants, lions, crocodiles, zebras and bison. Johan will also have a live petting zoo, including a camel. The ark includes a 50-seat theatre showing a segment of the Disney film Fantasia retelling the story of Noah's Ark.
Johan plans to sail around the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany using the ark as a tool to renew interest in the Bible and Christianity. It's certainly a conversation starter!
