John Huibers, a Dutchman, has spent the past 20 year of his life recreating the original Noah’s ark from the Bible. He has ensured that all the dimensions were kept the same and the ark is 130 meters long, 29 meters wide and 23 meters high. The project has cost him approximately $1,310,000 (1 million euros) to date and is visited by almost 3000 tourists every day.
