Ark Encounter - Full Sized Noah's Ark Replica - Dinosaurs Inside!

got quite a bit of rain coming down today hey you all carpetbagger here coming to you live from the south more specifically williamston kentucky and as we were coming in we were hit with quite a bit of rain but fortunately we are in the perfect spot for a rainy day because we are at the ark encounter yes behind me is a full-sized replica of noah's ark i visited here about four years ago when they had their grand opening and they first opened uh this this life-size arc here in kentucky um so i've been very curious been wanting to get back here for years to see what is new what they've added because when i first opened when i first went here they just opened so we just saw the the first set of exhibits so i'm excited to see what has been added what has been changed what additions there has been i know this uh arc it's uh was put out by an organization known as answers in genesis a religious organization um headed by a man known as australian man known as ken ham and uh their you know their beliefs they are they're young earth creationists they believe that humans lived at the same time as dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures they do believe there was dinosaurs on the ark so we are about to head up inside that magnificent arc and see what lies in its belly please follow me [Music] oh i think these are cutouts of noah's sons and their wives if you listen closely there's a tremendous amount of bull frogs in that pond yeah these cutouts must all be noah's different sons there was a time uh where i probably could have named all them but i cannot think for the life of me the name of noah's sons so if you know the name of noah's sons and their wives leave a comment in the comments section yeah arc is quite spectacular close this massive massive boat if you look down here you can see this ramp this i guess would be the ramp that they would use to get animals up to the ark you can see the the one entrance door there that's not where we're entering but that's where the animals would have entered yeah just look at the huge size that arc i guess we enter from underneath here we head in through the queue line underneath the ship now i always get criticized people tell me that i shouldn't call ships boats i'd always be confused on the difference between a ship and a boat now you had ark in there it's an arc of ship as an arc of boat i i don't i don't know these these nautical things are too complex for me [Music] oh you can hear the thunder clapping now as we enter the ark you can see how the construction of the ark is done how the nails are put in big nails big nails to hold together a big ship some animal cages over here oh yeah you can hear that thunder and lightning scaring the animals you can actually smell they actually have a scent to it it really smells like a hamster cage oh you can hear the animals you can hear them drinking out of the bottle there oh boy can you hear all those animals can you imagine what a real ark would have smelled like and sounded like rows and rows of animals which you know makes sense had to have two of every living creature oh you can hear thunder you can hear rain you can hear animal noises i think i heard a pig squealing we have a mural of noah see him holding up the ark in his hands all the different animals on the boat you see deer giraffe it's a bat a pterodactyl brontosaurus yeah you can hear the sound of the ark shifting the beams moving under water the creaking yeah there's a lot of animals in here for noises see all these pots i guess the pots would have supplies maybe some food to feed all these animals just look at all the little cages this would be the small animals various rodents that noah would have collected here is noah and his family in prayer just praying for safety during the storm you can see noah moving there [Music] this is the reptiles and amphibians section actually show you how they they kept all the animals fed you see from this diagram they have the uh the reptiles living in these pots the cloth lids in the center here they're explaining there's a a moth farm in all these boxes so you got moths uh pupating in here and then they would fly into tubes connected to all these pots and that would feed the reptiles and amphibians oh yeah you can see in this cross section here the different bugs and larva growing in there and then you see the tube right there the tube would come out here where you have the little lizards and they would snack on the pupated larvae see some cages with some larger animals see some bears in there and what this sign over here was explaining was that um said that the ark didn't necessarily have different kinds of of bears he says that there was no polar bears on the ark that uh they would just bring one type of bear and then they would i guess i don't evolve into other types of bears after uh returning from the ark and being set loose in the wild see i guess the animals are divided into kinds so this will be the sloth kind this is the section of sloth like animals brought on the ark so those are pretty cute over here we have some of the dinosaurs [Music] and these are almost like stegosaurus like dinosaurs or dinosaurs with big fins on them these are the the cassian casside kind uh these are pretty self-presumed extinct i guess um i don't know these are very interesting looking they look almost like tortoises with no shells [Music] or i hear all those dinosaur grunts and noises [Music] so i guess these are like um pterodactyl type animals it says guess italicolas i actually have a moldorama but quezada colas see them in there say a flying dinosaur-like animal it says noah didn't need to bring any of these showing all these sea creatures all these different aquatic animals i guess the theory is that they would just live in the water um the explanation over here says that a freshwater animals would have lived in like uh freshwater pockets within uh the giant ocean did you know up to 85 kinds of dinosaurs around the arc including two tyrannosauruses two stegosaurids two ceratopsids and two bronchiosaurus says no one didn't need to bring all these i guess he didn't need to bring a bunch of big dinosaurs he just brought two little baby ones that would populate the earth with the different species here is the deer it would have been brought on the ark [Music] now you can hear the little snorting pigs little ark piglets you can look up here and see the different stories of the ark famously the ark was made using cubits as measurements it shows you how long a cube it is there it's about 20.4 inches about the length from someone's elbow to their fingertips here we see a model of the arc that we're currently in closely in there you can see all the different animal cages how compacted it is here's noah's bat house peek in there and see the bats hanging and hear them squeaking all right headed up to the second story of the ark we see an exhibit on the fall of man i see eve [Music] taking some grapes on advice of that serpent and sharing them with adam adam's sin brings death they are now forced to sacrifice animals god banishes adam and eve kane murders havel oh my gosh look at kane that poor poor able never saw it coming descent into darkness polygamy music now metal metal working these are these are these are our descents into dark just giants so this is a representation of a godless world we see the um the people here this coliseum cheering the cheering onlookers as they watch this group of humans fight off a giant and a dinosaur wow that is i've not seen anything like that before abuse of creation we see a a party here some debauchery going on see a dude passed out on the couch oh my gosh see a giant idol a man with a giant snakehead a golden snake man that people are giving offerings to here we have some more animals the alligator kind looks like noah just brought a couple little tiny alligators with them they are right next to uh some hyenas [Applause] and uh i'm not sure what these are these are cyanogen acid and of course anyone that wants to help me figure out what these are let me know okay they said possum like bodies so i guess they are uh are some type of possum that says they're considered to be non-mammalian synapsids uh they were more like mammals than lizards or crocodiles yeah i'm confused on what exactly that is but kinda cute aren't these are they let's see the the pacquiao's he almost i don't know what he looks like almost like a seal kind of like a seal a half seal half dog maybe he says do these look like whales okay it's saying that i guess some people believe that packages uh evolved into whales but they're saying that's possible but but they don't think so here these are adorable these are like little saber-toothed cats almost looks like a crossfit saber-toothed cat and a koala these little dinosaurs [Music] what are these i'm sorry i'm probably mispronouncing everything and i'm reading a bunch of these these names and antelope dante says that they're called terminator pigs sounds like that may be a pretty cool movie terminator pig okay it says this is the one kind of cattle that uh noah brought on the ark were there unicorns on the ark now the bible does mention unicorns by name but what they're saying here is these are the unicorns that were on the ark they're actually little little tiny rhinoceroses they're not much of a horn yep check out those unicorns really interesting collection of animals like the dinosaurs right next to the unicorns look like some primitive giraffe-like creatures so here we're headed into the spooky animal encounters i don't know we might end up getting jump scared it says what do animals do when noah's family is sleeping guess we're about to find out open here it's just a mirror says can you make this face in the mirror all right open here okay i think these are all mirror gags yep yep yep hey [Music] what's in there oh a weasel history spooky bats up there down here touch the skunk oh just sprayed me oh yeah this section is kind of spooky oh air can it's going off everywhere it's like a haunted house this is the second spookiest noah's ark i've ever been in what is that oh my gosh oh my god that was super spooky boxes are creaking go see a snake right there [Music] that little swinging monkey so this would have been the one dog that noah brought on the ark and it shows all these different uh varieties of dog that would have would have uh spawned from that what's a crab eating dog i didn't know dogs were big into eating crabs here would have been the cat the noah took on the ark good to know that there was cats represented on on the ark and i don't wonder how they kept them from killing all the little rodents because that's why they were packed in those tight little cages archaeopteryticus i guess it says here that it was considered to be a evolutionary point between birds and dinosaurs but according to this chart it led to nothing saying that this was just a just a bird just just a weird old bird here they talk about the uh the evolution of uh apes of course uh they don't consider uh humans to be part of the eight evolution these are the horses that were brought on the ark you can see two tiny horses it seems like noah picked little tiny versions of animals so we could fit more of them on the ark like these tiny little hippos right here we see a couple of little stegosauruses playing these scary little guys down here these velociraptor looking guys that'd be pretty scary one of them got loose but the sign over there was actually saying that they believed that most animals on the ark even ones that are traditionally carnivorous uh were possibly vegetarians it says these guys were related to horses tapers but i don't know they look like like giant ground sloths to me which are some of my favorite animals this exhibit on animal maintenance shows how the animals were cared for in their containers see the food would be placed down into that funnel just that noah's sons would sweep up the feces there at the bottom here's how water and waste would have been handled on the ark they have rain collectors here like a rain barrel would i just fall down into the animals drinking water and then they have a waste a waste tank almost like an rv you can see these buckets bringing up poop poop up this side and pee into this side and i guess you know after 40 days that'd be getting near the top [Music] here we have noah's office you can see remy animatronic noah right there there's noah's wife and look at this this is a uh a globe a wood i guess a a stone globe that's been carved [Music] so it took me a while to plan the construction and there were some difficulties to overcome but god is wise and knows it look at the dove and he provides all we need [Music] so you can ask noah different questions you came to visit uh let me see what's when i asked them why don't you look like you are 600 years old why don't i look 600 what do you mean i look about the same age as any other 600 year old person i've met well except for my wife of course she doesn't look a day past 400. if you think somebody is still as beautiful as she was on our wedding day this would be like the library of the ark see all the scrolls stored in there some sketches there of the different animals even have some animal carvings up there on top it's the woodworking shop hear the wood being carved there's the uh blacksmith shop although wasn't metalworking one of the one of the downfalls of mankind here is the fairy tale arc we have some cartoonish characters in here so we'll head inside [Music] it's an interesting section here they're actually condemning all these books showing the books that portray the uh arc in a child child-friendly way oh look at this even even calling out the precious moments noah's ark storybook as it puts it right here attention flood was god's judgment of a wicked world not a happy story about adorable animals it says cute arcs are dangerous they distort god's word and ultimately malign his character we have the serpent here from the garden of eden he says if i could convince you that the flood was not real and i could convince you that heaven and hell are not real i mean i can't say they don't necessarily have a point it says everyone died except eight people in the ark so yeah a story about everyone in the world dying for kids sorry guys you sure are cute but remember everybody [Music] dies [Music] [Music] okay i wasn't clear on why the figure wasn't talking but it says this is uh japheth's wife reyna ponder's sincere questions many people wrestle with today okay so she's here she's she's sweeping and she is pondering questions like why does a loving god allow so much death and suffering is god cruel why is death was it just for god to judge the whole world it is quite a bit to ponder here is the door from the inside the giant door that all the animals would have marched in and you can see make out a cross right there all right time to head up to the third floor we saw how all the animals lived here's the living quarters for the humans it's a shem and ariel's suite you know this is pretty this is pretty nice i wouldn't mind going on a 40-day cruise and these digs this is japheth he's uh playing his flute there for his wife rayna she was the one that was downstairs pondering but now she's doing some painting looks like she's using those little oyster shells these little paint cups [Music] it's like they have plenty of produce and some herbs hanging up there looks like they're even doing a little bit of on ark gardening here little troughs full of dirt they're growing some veggies here's shem's wife ariel she's working here in the kitchen preparing some uh yummy dinner for uh the crew yeah nice little kitchen here we've got lots of garlic so yeah make some nice garlicky food for dinner here is ham along with his wife kazia and they are they're stringing some beans he's brought quite a few uh beans in the aviary got all the different birds that noah and his family cared for but over here you can see noah his wife down there but noah is releasing the dove sending out the dove to find land and what does he have i believe an olive branch is it an olive branch in his uh in his beak here's actually an exhibit on how the ark holds up against other arcs this is the biblical arc here this is problems with this arc none it was perfectly designed to survive the flood but i talked about these other arcs that says could not have uh have survived this is the bantu tail it says problems no tree is large enough to hold all the people of the animals i guess the legend was it was carved out of one tree here is the woman ball legend the double raf says problems people animals and supplies be washed overboard the acadian and tablet it's a very interesting shaped arc let's see what the problems are it says the problems are that the sides are too short to prevent waves from watching and sinking the boat here's the arc from the epic of gilgamesh you can see the little person down there big box shaped ark what's the problems with this says oh no lighting and ventilation for lower decks tilting and rocking would make the voyage unbearable so saying here that the biblical ark the only ark that could do it here's the museum of the bible there's actually a full museum of the bible in washington dc but i guess this is a satellite version of that where they have some old documents some various bibles and bible pieces from various time periods actually have a virtual reality attraction where you can i guess ride the ark and really be there on the boat with noah exiting through the gift shop you can see that there's more than two of every animal in here oh look at that little little little possum on the ark so we leave the ark we head into the ararat ridge zoo so yes they actually have real animals here at the ark now it is a little rainy out so i don't know how many animals are going to be out and about i spot a kangaroo over there you can see a sloth in there he's itching his butt [Music] oh look at that there's a little armadillo running around around there that's that's super cute what you doing there mr armadillo hey lemurs how are you guys doing like thunder or landing but then again you might have been in the area where there's actual recordings hey mr donkey what are you doing there's a lot of donkeys in the bible isn't there there is some current construction i'm not sure what is going to be in that building right there this is where they have their virtual uh reality center the tr the truth traveler they call it where you can simulate what it is like to ride on the ark so thank you for joining me here today at the ark encounter here in kentucky i did want to give a little disclaimer you know obviously any religious views or
