If you were going for something like that, then high rises and skyscrapers would be many more times efficient for a population/space ratio as they take up a less squared base than the ziggurat would while providing about the same or more height to the building.
Its more than just a building with people in it... its a town. Much more efficient use of space. Many more people inside a smaller area. Its the way things are going to half to be in the next 1000 years, if we're still alive.
Well, then you see the point that a ziggurat is not as useful as everyone claims it to be.Spearhead wrote:

They are fucking starving, without water, without education and and and...

Dubai is such a terrible place to live, you shell out all this money for a nice view in a massive hotel but think about it, it is constantly under construction. Not my kind of place
Wonder if the project will go as well as this one did.
Doubt it. People actually go to Dubai.
Everyone is a raving Capitalist when it comes to their country and a raving Socialist/Communist when it comes to others. lol, I've noticed that alot these days.
What I don't understand is, fair enough, Dubai/UAE has oil, but I don't get how it can make the place that popular with business and shit, especially when they have nothing to do with Oil. Still trying to find out what makes it so attractive for everyone. I wonder how the ball got rolling.

Yes UAE is fucking rich,but that doesnt mean everyone who lives there is a douche. People actually earned all that money starting from zero. Well, some of them did.
Im all for donating money and giving a chance to someone to live his life to the maximum, but when i see retards running around like "Hey, X bought a ferrari .I cant believe hes spending so much money when there are starving kids in africa omg" i get pissed off.
That isn't a tourist attraction, it's a xenophobe starter kit.
