THE NEW ARK OF NOAH

-

In Kentucky, United States, a ship with the same dimensions as the Ark Noah built thousands of years ago has been built again. This ark was built according to the dimensions given in the Bible. It is 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high. It has three decks. It is called ArkEncounter.

The ark is just like a museum. The idea is to allow you experience what Noah's life may have been like. If you have ever wondered how Noah was able to fit all the animals into the ark, or how big Noah's ark was, or how all the animals were fed throughout the time they were on board due to the storm, then this place is where you need to go to find these answers you seek.

You can also find a zoo with live animals and a museum. Yes, the place is that big.

Currently, it is the largest timber frame structure in the world. It costs over one hundred million dollars to build, and officially opened in July 7, 2016.

An event so brutal it shook the helpless community to its very core. In the rustic compound of Mr. Ojo was a 15-month-old baby girl whom he and his adorable wife joyfully named Adediwura (meaning royalty or crown has turned to gold). Not bothered with any problem in the world, she was busy playing. Unknown to the family, the crown of the Efon-Alaaye was soon going to turn their own crown into a calabash of blood. All of a sudden, someone noticed the little girl playing within the compound was nowhere to be found. It was as if she just vanished. Ha! What type of a bad joke is this, the father must have mused. But it was no joke. After checking every plank and crevice in the compound, the parents knew something terrible was amiss....
