Noah's Ark - The Return of a Legend


For the first time in 4000 years Noah's Ark is open to tourists. OK so its only a replica of the biblical boat but in Schagen Netherlands a Dutch creationist built a full sized working replica of the Ark. The replica Ark measures 150 cubits long, about 3/4 of a football field 30 cubits tall, about 3 stories and 20 cubits wide. The ark comes complete with life sized replicas of giraffes, elephants, lions, crocodiles, zebras, and bison to name a few. The top open air deck will have its own petting zoo with lambs chicken, goats and one camel. On the lower decks there is a museum of tools of the time that the first Ark was thought to have been built. The museum is even complete with its own 50 seat film theater where kids can sit and watch the Noah's Ark scene from Disney's Fantasia. A Schagen local who road by on her bike said "It's past comprehension. I knew the story of Noah, but I had no idea the boat would have been so big."
