Aw: Dutch man building new ark

Now, the Dutch building contractor has nearly completed a life-size model of Noah’s ark, which he says will be ready for visitors in May. His current opus follows the dimensions described in Genesis 6:15 — 300 cubits by 50 cubits by 30 cubits. The new ark’s volume is nearly ten times the original’s. Despite his attempted precision, there is no standardized interpretation of the size of a cubit. Huiber is equating the biblical measurement to half a meter. Inside, it houses two theaters, a cinema, a restaurant, live animals (of course) and a train that takes visitors on a ride through the creation story.
