Well this might not be the original Noah’s Ark but Surfer Jerry came across this life size replica while surfing the net. This Life size model of Noah’s Ark was built to half the length and a third of the width of the biblical specification. The Ark is 150 cubits long (almost two-thirds of a football field), 30 cubits high (same as a three story house) and 20 cubits wide. This amazing ark was built by Johan Huibers with some help from his son Roy. He did most of the work using modern power tools to build the ark out of cedar and pine. Upon entering the ark you are greeted by life size models of various animals. If you want to go see the ark you will have to travel to Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
