John Hubiers Creates Real Life Noah's Ark

(source)

John Hubiers is a contractor by trade. He had a dream that a flood would invade Holland and because of this he began building an ark. I highly doubt it was as simple as that but according to the below video that his how this project started.




Huibers lives in Dordrecht, Netherlands (an hour outside of Amsterdam) built the ark mostly on his own by his own hands. He also used the assistance of his son Roy. The project began in 2005 and has yet to be fully completed. 

Huibers built the ark of cedar and pine. Biblical Scholars debate exactly what the wood used by Noah would have been.

The biblical story tells us that the ark was built by Noah. God warned Noah of a flood and instructed Noah to build an ark.God instructed Noah to gather two of each animal, male and female. Then for forty days and forty nights the rain came.

  
One hundred and fifty days passed before the water subsided and the ark came to the mountains of Ararat. 

According to the Bible Noah's Ark was 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high. The proportions of the ark in Genesis are remarkably modern: 30:5:3.
