Replica of Noah's Ark to be placed on Mount Ararat today
A replica of Noah's Ark will be placed today on Mount Ararat 2500 meters above sea level. The replica ark is designed to the opening of G8 summit as a plea to world leaders to pay attention to the problem of global warming. Greenpeace initiated the construction of Noah's Ark. Size of the Noah's Ark is 10-4x4 meters. 20 Turkish and German carpenters worked on the replica ark. On May 29 Greenpeace activists climbed the top of Mount Ararat (5137 meters) and called on leaders of all nations to realize protection of planet's climate.

According to the Holy Bible Noah's Ark landed on the Mount Ararat after the Flood.
