The huge ship is the centerpiece of a religious theme park called Ark Encounter and took six years and a $100 million budget to build, funded by private donations.
The ark is built with 7,787 cubic meters of wood distributed in 155 meters long, 26 wide and 15 high, the same measurements in cubits (0.50 cm) that God ordered Noah, according to the book of Genesis.
The ark built in Kentucky is a replica in dimensions of the boat that God ordered to build Noah, according to the biblical account.
With the 300 cubits long, 50 wide and 20 high that the Bible says, a new “Noah’s Ark” has just opened its doors in Kentucky, United States after years of controversy.
Inside are three covers of what they call “educational entertainment” on the history of the famous world flood, with 100 models of ancient and modern animals.
The Bible does not say that there were dinosaurs in Noah’s Ark, but the creators of this park wanted to add them to explain that even prehistoric creatures were created by God.
