Life Size Noah’s Ark Was Just Opened In Kentucky, Guess What Happened On The First Day…
A life-size version of Noah’s Ark was just completed in Kentucky, and this thing is amazing!
From Daily Wire:
The Ark Encounter theme park, a $100 million dollar recreation of the vessel described in the Old Testament as having helped save all life on Earth during the flood, had its ribbon-cutting ceremony in preparation for the official opening on Thursday.
The project’s director, Ken Ham, told The Christian Post the purpose of the exact re-creation of the legendary vessel: “To remind the coming generations of the truth of God’s word. It’s our way of presenting the truth of God’s Word to the world.”
Kentucky’s Lieutenant Governor, Jenean Hampton, was one of the many speakers at the ceremony. She told the crowd of 7,000, “We are so blessed that this great, great attraction was built here in Kentucky, it’s just an honor to have this here. We hope to see millions visit Kentucky, to visit the Ark Encounter over the next few years. I can’t wait to see the inside,” she added, calling it “absolutely beyond imagination.”
Ham is hopeful the attraction will bring in not just Christians but people from all faiths, telling CP, “I believe you’re going to find all sorts of people from all walks of life with all sorts of religious backgrounds who are going to come here and even if they don’t share our biblical view, they can’t help but be impressed by the structure, craftsmanship and by the attention to detail of world-class exhibits inside. And who knows? Maybe they’ll be challenged to even talk about the Bible as we do.”
The structure was built to exact biblical specifications and spans 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high. “The Ark measured 300 x 50 x 30 cubits, which is a volume of about 2.21 million cubic feet.”
