    Johan Huibers took 20 years to build this scale replica of the biblical ship, after having nightmares of his homeland flooding. While he doesn’t believe god is out to destroy the world again, he hopes his ark will teach people about faith and history.

    The Dutchman follow the biblical dimensions of the ark accurately, and has ended up with a vessel that’s 30 metres (427 feet) long, 29 metres (95 feet) across and 23 metres (75 feet) high. It weighs 3,000 tons, with all the fake animals on board.

    To maintain the ark Huibers will charge visitors – up to 3000 a day are permitted – and feed them with an onboard restaurants and offer the use of  two cinemas for special events.

    The ark comes with life sized animals, including posed sculptures of tigers, giraffe, an elephant and bison.

    It is not clear whether Huibers has timed the completion of the ark to coincide with the impending destruction of the world. God could not be reached for comment.
