If only one is a supporter of the theory of the end times announced in 2012 , no assumptions really takes precedence over the circumstances of the Apocalypse.
Wake massive volcanic activity? Nuclear disaster? Collision with an asteroid? Introduction of SkyNet ? Presidency of Justin Bieber ?.
Johan Huibers has his own idea, and perhaps because he is Dutch that he believed the end times is synonymous with flood and rising waters . Johan Huibers says himself "I dreamed that part of the Netherlands was flooded "in an interview with Today . "The next day I had the idea to build an ark".
Yes, what you have before you is not Noah's Ark, but Johan's Ark, and even then it is the second project of Johan, which have already made an arch across a / 2 in the past.
The baptism of the Ark should take place on the Thames, at the launch of Games London Olympics in 2012 so (5 months before the end of time)
Although we have no way to verify, according to the Bible, God said to Noah, "Make thee an ark of wood lumber. You shall make reed and shalt bitumen inside and outside. Here is how you shall make: 300 cubits for the length of the ark, 50 cubits in breadth and 30 cubits in height. You shall make a roof for the ark, and you will complete an angled top. Thou shalt also be a side entrance, and do a first, second and third floor. "
Or after conversion, a vessel of 137 meters long, 25 meters wide and 13 meters high (the size of the Romulan Bird of Prey in Star Trek ), or half of the Titanic.
Impossible to know what real time Noah had to perform this feat, but it took three years to build his ark Johan which will have cost $ 1.6 million. To perfect his boat, a gallery includes even some stuffed animals including an elephant to $ 11,000, not sure if this is this way that the Almighty had hoped to save his sheep.
Finally, if the goal was not to survive the Apocalypse, the arch should be built to attract tourists, and that, Johan has understood ... we understand a little more investment, but so far, the achievement is very impressive.
