Eden, also known as Noah's Ark, is a self-contained biosphere and survival complex being built by billionaire Rajiv Montgomery Noah in the Rabbit Mountain area of northern Ontario, Canada. Designed to withstand apocalyptic events, the compound features a massive dome covering 35 acres of surface land with extensive underground facilities housed inside a converted silver mine.

Overview

The Eden compound is being constructed as a refuge for 200 selected individuals meant to survive what Noah predicts will be the end of the world on Labour Day. The facility contains living quarters, agricultural areas, water filtration systems, and renewable energy infrastructure. The dome utilizes innovative materials including fused silica panes on the exterior and tempered alumino-sillicate glass on the interior reportedly capable of withstanding extreme heat and impact.

History

Construction

Construction on Eden began approximately three years ago after Noah publicly announced his prediction of a global cataclysm. The project required massive excavation of the former Rabbit Mountain Mine, which had been dewatered numerous times since it closed in 1967. The main components of the Eden complex include:

• A 35-acre dome covering the surface installations

• A large brick library building serving as the central structure

• Concentric circles of small, identical residential homes

• Extensive underground agricultural and power generation facilities

• A system of tunnels extending 290 feet below ground

• A temporary underground shelter area where residents will reportedly weather the initial impact of any catastrophe

Noah’s construction project has brought significant economic development to the Thunder Bay region, employing hundreds of workers and revitalizing the local economy.

Testing and Demonstration

The dome’s resilience was publicly tested when Noah ordered four conventional bombs dropped against the perimeter. The structure withstood the blasts with no visible damage, demonstrating its purported capability to protect those inside from external threats.

Design and Components

Surface Structures

The surface area of Eden features:

• 200 small, identical residential homes arranged symmetrically

• A central fountain depicting an androgynous figure holding an open book

• Extensive gardens and fruit tree plantations

• Beehives for pollination and honey production

• Livestock areas for goats and chickens

Agricultural Systems

The facility includes:

• Extensive fruit and vegetable gardens

• Growing facilities for year-round production

• Mushroom cultivation caves

• Underground aquaculture systems with catfish

• A closed-loop fertilization system using fish waste

Underground Facilities

The underground section of Eden extends through multiple levels into the former mine:

• A power station with over 500 lithium batteries at 290 feet below ground

• Water filtration systems connected to an underground river

• A large temporary shelter area with a tent facility where all 200 residents will reportedly gather to weather the initial disaster period

• Storage areas for supplies and equipment

• Medical supplies and facilities

Sustainable Systems

The facility is designed with numerous self-sustaining systems:

• Solar energy collection through the dome, transmitted via conduits to the underground battery bank

• Advanced water filtration and recycling

• Composting systems using worms to process organic waste

• Fish pools providing protein and nutrient-rich waste for fertilizer

• External cleaning robots (nicknamed “Roombas”) for maintaining the dome’s solar collection capability

Selection Process

According to Noah, individuals for Eden are being selected through what he calls an “algorithm” that evaluates participants based on:

1. DNA and genetic potential

2. Professional expertise and skills

3. Health metrics

4. Other undisclosed factors

Participants have reportedly “consented” to be considered by consuming a powder containing his ArkhiveLink which Noah sends to newsletter subscribers who click “YES” on his invitation. Critics claim this powder contains a microscopic transmitter that burrows into the stomach lining and sends back biometric data, though scientific consensus remains divided on whether such technology is possible.

Noah has stated he intends to select 200 individuals with various valuable skills including scientists, mathematicians, and medical professionals.

Controversy and Legal Issues

The Eden project has been controversial throughout its development. Critics argue Noah’s predictions are baseless and that the complex is either a publicity stunt, a cult compound, or some form of psychological experiment. Supporters point to Noah’s track record of technological innovation and his willingness to invest billions in the project as evidence of his sincerity.

Legal experts have raised questions about Noah’s plans to “collect” his chosen individuals, with some speculating that forcible collection would constitute kidnapping regardless of any prior “consent” given through his newsletter system.

In Popular Culture

The Eden complex has become a focal point of media attention in the lead-up to what Noah calls “the end of the world.” The site has drawn increasing numbers of observers, protesters, and “watchers” who gather outside its gates.

A music festival called “Apocastock” is scheduled on nearby Mission Island for Labour Day weekend, featuring artists such as Pocket Rochelle and Alias Grace, with plans for shuttles between the festival and Eden for V.I.P. ticket holders.

Current Status

As the predicted date approaches, Noah continues to insist that his apocalyptic vision will come to pass. Government officials have stated they are monitoring the situation but have no plans to intervene unless laws are broken.

News organizations worldwide have sent reporters to cover the events at Eden, with 24-hour live streams showing the complex from various angles. The hashtags #EdenWatch and #NoahsArk regularly trend on social media platforms.
