Dutch carpenter builds replica of Noah’s Ark…plans to sail to London Olympics

A Dutch creationist is putting finishing touches onto a full-size replica of Noah’s Ark, which he has built according to a blueprint set out in the Bible.

Johan Huibers spent three years on the construction and more than £1.03million building the gigantic wooden boat – and now has his sights set on sailing it up the Thames for the Olympics.
This feat of true biblical proportions was inspired by a dream Mr Huibers had 20 years ago, in which he saw part of his native Netherlands submerged in a flood like the one featured in the Book of Genesis.
He has been obsessed with bringing the story of the ark to life ever since, MSNBC reports, and in 2004 he built a half-scale version and floated it along the country’s canals.
Tourists flocked to see the smaller prototype when Mr Huibers opened it to the public, but the proceeds from admissions went straight back into funding his ambition to build a full-size ship. (You go fear person dream now). Well we all hope to see this ark during the Olympics at least we would know how big the ark all the animals in the world entered………….
