In Holland built Noah's ark in full size

A full-scale copy of Noah's ark for three years, built sixty years Dutch carpenter Johan Huibers with the help of a team of enthusiasts. Johan Huibers built his Noah's ark in exact accordance with the description in the Bible: the Dutch ark has a length – to 133.5 m (300 cubits), width — 22,25 m (50 cubits), and the height of 13,35 m (30 cubits). As befits a Noah's ark, there are representatives of all possible animals "pair of every creature" – though plastic mannequins. The only problem, and the discrepancy is that the old Testament ark was built from the mythical gopher wood (probably cypress or cedar), and modern made of metal hulls of old barges, covered with Scandinavian pine. The ark is categorized as building, not as a ship, so his permanent elected at the small harbour in the town of Dordrecht (the Netherlands).
