The Ark of Noah is headed to Israel and we want you to be apart of this historical journey.
Born in 1958, Johan Huibers grew up in the Dutch province of Noord-Holland, in the ‘Realm of a thousand Islands’. His fascination with water in all its facets dates back to his childhood. When he was 24, he encountered God, who planted a desire in his heart to help others. Having been involved in adventure filled aid projects in Ethiopia, Albania and Bosnia, he set about realizing his big dream: to reconstruct Noah’s Ark.
At 33 years old, building constructor and carpenter, Johan Huibers dreamt that a fierce storm-tide flooded the entire province of Nood-Holland in the Netherlands. That dream marks the start of an exciting adventure in which Johan overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles to achieve his ultimate goal; the building of a replica of Noah’s Ark!
It took Johan and his 3 sons 1,520 days, which is also 4 years and 2 months in order to complete the Ark of Noah.
The Ark of Noah weighs 3,000 tons. That’s the weight of 375 of the largest land animals in the world. The African savanna elephant!
It took 12,000 trees to build the Ark of Noah
