Erin Hart, Duluth, recognized the recent mystery: “This mystery photo is the Ark at the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Ky. It is a replica of Noah’s Ark built to the specifications outlined in the Bible. Not only is it an interesting, well-built structure, but it contains many detailed exhibits pertaining to the concept of creationism. I’ve been there when on a trip to Lexington. I had read about it, and it was only a short drive north. It’s huge and quite a sight to see. The ark interior has beautiful woodwork. It also includes the museum exhibits about creationism. It was interesting and fun to see.” The photograph came from Molly Titus of Peachtree Corners.
Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C., gave us its size: “It features a full-sized Noah’s Ark, three decks high, built according to dimensions given in the Bible, which are 510 feet long,85 feet wide, and 51 feet high.”
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, adds: “Beyond the ark itself, the site includes a petting zoo, zip-line courses, a 1,500-seat restaurant, a 2,500-seat theater, gift shops, and landscaped grounds. The project had an estimated cost of over $100 million, and supporters argue it drives regional tourism and economic impact, while critics challenge its scientific claims and use of public incentives.”
