Noah's Ark replica could travel to Brazil this year

The ark, which was created by Dutch carpenter Johan Huibers, will stop at several port cities in Brazil and make four stops along the coast of the U.S., according to the Ark of Noah Foundation, which is working to raise funds for the ark's journey.

According to the organization, which was founded by Huibers, the idea to build the ark came to Huibers after he dreamt that a massive flood covered the province of Noord-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," the organization said online.

The modern ark, dubbed "Johan's Ark," is a fully-functioning replica of Noah's Ark, as described in the book of Genesis in the Bible.
