Laurie and I were very much impressed when we finally made the trip to witness for ourselves the ARK! The Ark was built in 2014 through 2016 with the opening for the public in July of 2016. I had chartered a bus to make the trip, but was forced to cancel it due to Laurie’s back surgery in July of last year.
This Ark is huge! The big ship was created using the dimensions listed in the Bible in Genesis 6 of the Bible. This makes the Ark 510 feet in length; eighty-five feet wide and fifty-one feet high totaling three stories. The outside is awe striking to see because of the size, however the interior is just as awe striking due to the all the allowable space available to place so much! This structure is currently the largest wooden structure in the world today. Like I said the Ark is huge! (See http://www.ArkEncounter.com to see more details and interests.)
Many exhibits are found within the interior of the Ark. One can, also, watch movies at various locations. Much of the interior has cages; food supplies; water cisterns to show possible methods of building the original Ark and making it all work. The demonstrations show possible cage construction methods to aid in eliminating any wildlife waste materials and storage of food and water, etc.
Life-like mannequins are located within to show how the Noah and the eight people may have dressed and lived. One such demonstrations depicts Noah
in a robotic form, moving his head and arms and speaking and answering questions of the public. the eyes move and gaze into the viewers.
The Ark concept began in 2004; construction began in 2014 and completed by July 2016. Not bad at all. the Bible says Noah worked for 120 years to build the Ark. Such Faith!
The Ark is located near Williamstown, Kentucky!
