the story of Noah's Ark. God made Noah build an ark so that all the animals and plants on earth could get on board and avoid the flood that caused the destruction. Now, a Dutch named Johan Huibers has also built an ark, and the reason for shipbuilding is also a dream.
a Zhang Quanjing chart. 24 years ago, he dreamed of a terrible storm in Holland, and the whole country was swallowed up by the flood. After waking up, he still had a lingering fear. He suddenly had an idea: why not build an ark? It's like Noah. Although his ideas were regarded as nonsense by the people around him, Johan persisted in action.
it took him 13 years to convince his wife and children, to borrow 1 million euros from the bank (and really have a bank to lend, unthinkable), and to recruit volunteers for more than 4 years to create his own Noah's Ark.
Johan's Noah Ark weighs 2500 tons, 125 meters long, 29 meters wide and 23 meters high, and the bottom of the cabin is larger than a football field. It is built in exactly the same way as the Bible. It is only half the size. It has 5 floors inside, and it can accommodate about 5000 people to board the ship. In addition, there are plenty of animal and plant cabins and storage tanks.
this summer, Noah's Ark of Johan will sail from Holland and across the Atlantic to Brazil. From there, we continued our voyage to other central and South American countries, and finally arrived in San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle and other places in the United States. However, the ark itself has no power, so it will be towed by a sampan. Ships do not really fill animals and plants, but instead of specimen models.
Johan named the voyage "a journey of hope", which meant that children from all over the world could see the existence of Noah's Ark.
