Life-sized replica of Noah's Ark

Just as the first storms of winter roll in, Dutchman Johan Huibers has finished his quest to build a full-scale model of Noah's Ark — an undertaking of biblical proportions.
A full-scale replica of Noah’s Ark in seen in Dordrecht, Netherlands, Monday, Dec. 10, 2012. The Ark opened its doors in the Netherlands after receiving permission to receive up to 3,000 visitors per day. 


For those who don’t know or remember the Biblical story, God ordered Noah to build a boat massive enough to save animals and humanity while God destroyed the rest of the earth in an enormous flood.
