Chinese man builds Noah's Ark to survive Mayan Doomsday

Chinese man spends £100k building own Noah's Ark to survive 'doomsday'
Updated: 28 Nov 2012

Race for survival: One Chinese man is so convinced the world will end next month he is building his very own Noah's Ark (pictured)

Not quite biblical proportions: The vessel measures 21.2m long, 15.5m wide, 5.6m high and displaces about 140 tons of water




Work in progress: Lu, from Urumqi, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, admits it's not much to look at, but is confident it will serve its purpose

No, God didn't reveal himself to this Chinese man in a vision.

But it seems Lu Zhenghai has been reading about the Mayan prophecy that predicts the end of the world on December 21.

He is so afraid of the rumours he has spent his whole life savings trying to build his very own apocalypse-proof 'Noah's Ark'.

The vessel, which has cost him ¥1million (£100,000), measures 21.2m long, 15.5m wide, 5.6m high and displaces about 140 tons of water.

Lu, from Urumqi, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, admits it's not much to look at, but is confident it will serve its purpose.

Scientists and researchers are going out of their way to assure people that December 21, 2012, the so-called Mayan end-date, will not bring about the end of the world.

But that hasn't stopped some from ploughing on with their own safety measures regardless.

A fool and his money soon parted.

Next year when doomsday didn't come, he will probably make his own doomsday by committing suicide cos he is so broke after spending all his money building that stupid boat which goes nowhere.

Some people need to lose their life savings to learn life's lessons. The logic is that if the world is doomed, then why even bother to save oneself? It'll be lonely.

Is it just me who finds the hull to be somewhat flat?

2 storey structure with a flat hull doesn't sound very safe......

Plus that guy is from Urumuqi - that's in the middle of the fucking Gobi Desert.. have they even seen the ocean before?

That reminds me of Noah and his ark, until now still considered only a fable not to take literally because how to account for all the pairs of animals he put in the ark? Just plain dumb, like reading a fairy tale and this Chinese dumbo has to be out of his mind to believe in such crap.

Yalor, what is he thinking spending such money, should have just blow all off on some Urumuqi women.

He's thinking of pole shift, I guess. If I'm not mistaken, the Mayan prophesy and other similar planet-X niberu scenarios, they do talk about the pole shift. So, the Gobi desert becomes an ocean and Tibet is flooded.

Right, hull looks weird, should have bought a ready make commercial barge with that money.

No hull, too flat bottom. It won't work in a flood of any sort.
Anyway, a flood will come to Singapore if a big enough object hits earth. Those who live below 10 floors will kena direct.

It is more of a barge, and it will float provided the ballast are place in the correct place.

No, it was built based on the sea of sand he is use to be seeing !

2 storey barge...wonder what is the gross tonnage.

[chupacabra]

Does not look sea worthy. He should have hired lamparghini car builder guy to design it more aerodynamic and stealthy.

 

[jiakhongleow]

At least he belive in Mayan calender, not in the prophet Asiah which Jesus did.
