I really wonder what would OSHA say about building New York, Chicago, London etc... because as we all know, in the Western world, all is made with regulations in mind, there are no migrant workers (because the term ex-pat is reserved for overprivileged white people), only Americans build American buildings etc. All I know is that it is pretty much certain is that no worker without a work visa worked on that site.
OSHA inspector here. I did have a stroke watching this especially at 04:30 mark. If this was built here (western) the project would ve been shut down until all the safety measures have been applied and complied with.
Just as absurd as the western world who has devout followers to a golden pig who adheres by his every action to committing every one of the 7 deadly sins. And all of his followers think he’s their messiah.

That's crazy! I did not know it was that tall! I've seen pictures of it before but did not truly understand the height of it. Wild bit of engineering for sure
Yeah from the photos I saw there was no way to get any idea of its real size. Maybe it’s because there are no other large buildings near it to compare it with.
@@Sashazur I stayed at the fairmont hotel which is located within one of the towers. Even up close you cannot grasp the true magnitude of the development.

No disrespect intended here but a beer at the end of a day like that tastes bloody amazing, but a cigarette is a close second lol….
Wonderful piece of work with amazing visuals…certainly one of your very best. The B1M should be very proud of this accomplishment and the difficulties of putting it together.
This is one of my favorite buildings in the world I remember the first time i heard of it, and seeing it being as wide as it is, made it hard to understand its height most skyscrapers tend to be slender and look alike, but this one stands out for looking like a proper building with not only height in mind the way the BK is
To me it's the biggest monument to a stupid oppressive religion, actually all religions are stupid and oppressive. Any book that tells you to meet at a certain place, what you can or can't do, etc, is not fun

Talk about design creep! A hotel but then got an an Eiffel tower added on top because the client wanted it to be built taller, and why not a clock tower, and golden tiles, and lots of LEDs, and can we have a terrace on top of the Eiffel tower, with strobe lights and stuff to make it look grand?

What is most astonishing is the Christians’ rejection of the marriage of the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - when she was nine years old and he was over fifty, while they see no harm in the Virgin Mary being engaged to Joseph the carpenter when she was twelve years old and he was over ninety, meaning that the age difference between them was more than seventy-eight years, as mentioned by the Catholic Encyclopedia. There is not a single phrase in their “holy” book that prohibits the marriage of girls at the age of nine, or even a single sentence specifying the age of marriage. Didn’t Ahaz get married when he was ten years old and have children when he was eleven years old? It is stated in 2 Kings 2:16: “Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. And it is stated in 2 Kings 2:18: “In the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years.” Ahaz was 36 years old. If his son became king when he was about 25 years old, his father would have been blessed with him when he was about 11 years old. Their priest, Munis Abdul Nour, mentioned in his book Doubts about the Bible: “There is no objection to there being 11 years between him and his father,” and he began to give historical examples of that. It is well known that the age of maturity of females is less than the age of maturity of males living in the same region, so this means that his wife might have been nine or ten years old like him, and she was even fit to give birth at that age. So why do you deny marriage to Aisha at such an age, and your book does not deny it? How do they deny marriage to the beloved Mustafa at a time when they believe that the prophets committed the abominations and obscenities of incest? Such as their claim that Lot - peace be upon him - committed adultery with his two daughters, and that David committed adultery with the wife of a soldier in his army. Rather, he ordered the army commander to uncover him during war so that the enemies could kill him. They do not find it shameful to describe Solomon - peace be upon him - as an infidel and that he worshipped idols in order to please his pagan wives.@@2011arish

So i could see calling it Asian Continent. I understand the geography. But if you say Asia alone in the USA, unless you are talking to a recent immigrant, will be understood as china, japan, koreas, vietnam, indonesia, taiwan, phillipines, laos, cambodia, etc. Not india, not Yemen, not azerbijan, not eastern turkey certainly.

@@derdummeasi Ok, you may have that opinion and that’s fine as it’s just a building and nothing more. As long as the sanctity of the holy sites isn’t compromised, then there’s no issue
People need to remember Mecca was a pagan site of pilgrimage PRIOR to Islam. They worshipped idols most of which were destroyed when it became a site for Islamic worship,BUT they kept one idol the black stone .
Not true. The Arabs desecrated the kaaba by putting up idols in and around it. The kaaba itself predates the idol worship. Now, the Kaaba is the direction of prayer and can be compared to the Western Wall/Wailing wall in Jerusalem for the Jews. They pray in that direction, they touch the wall, but they do not worship the wall. Somehow i see nobody accuse Jews of polytheism.

In the heart of a vast, timeless desert, that immense clock tower stands as a striking symbol. It beautifully underscores the fleeting nature of time, a reminder that every moment is precious, slipping through our fingers like grains of sand.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, II, page 263: “The baptismal formula was changed from the name of Jesus Christ to the words Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by the Catholic Church in the second century.” The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries, I, 275: “It is often affirmed that the words in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost are not the ipsissima verba [exact words] of Jesus, but…a later liturgical addition.”
tthew 21:11 And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Luke 7:16 Fear gripped them all, and they began glorifying God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” John 4:19 The woman *said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Matthew 21:46 When they sought to seize Him, they feared the people, because they considered Him to be a prophet. John 6:14 Therefore when the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.” John 7:40 Some of the people therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, “This certainly is the Prophet.” John 9:17 So they *said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.” Luke 24:19 And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people, Mark 6:15 But others were saying, “He is Elijah.” And others were saying, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” Mark 8:28 They told Him, saying, “John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.” Luke 9:8 and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen again. OK, so Jesus doesnt refute anybody calling him a Prophet, he reaffirms it Luke 13:33 . . . . I must proceed on my way. For it wouldn’t do for a prophet of God to be kwil. Led except in Jerusalem. Mark 6:3-4 Then they scoffed . . . . They were deeply off. nded and refused to believe in him. Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family
What about “He who is without s77n, should k4st the f1r5t”? Looking back at John 7:53-8:11, it is clear this story was not in John’s original gospel. Your Bible likely has brackets around this story with a note that says something like “The earliest manuscripts do not include 7:53-8:11.” This is because the only manuscript before the ninth century to include this story was one from the fifth century found in western Europe (further from where John wrote) and also deviates from earlier manuscripts in other key areas. Other copies from the tenth century onward that have it, often place it, or variations of it, in different places throughout the gospels. It only became more common in its current form and location in manuscripts dating from the Middle Ages. On the other hand, every other early manuscript omits it, notably including two of the earliest and most reliable manuscripts, called Papyrus 66 and Papyrus 75 that date from the second or early third century and were found in Egypt (closer to where John wrote). Codex Sinaiticus, the oldest complete copy of the New Testament (c. 325 CE), does not include it either. No pastor or theologian from the eastern side of the early church references it until the tenth century. In their commentaries and sermons, they go directly from John 7:52 to 8:12 (keep in mind that current chapter and verse breakdowns were added later). Finally, all the earliest translations of the Greek New Testament (Syriac, Coptic, Armenian, Old Latin, and Georgian) skip this story as well.
Such a dumb comment would only come from an American. So, I bet you are. This has been a tremendous source of income for the two holy cities, exceeding the amount it was built for.

"Construction Culture" i.e. An OSHA inspector would have a stroke.
Was it that bad?
I really wonder what would OSHA say about building New York, Chicago, London etc... because as we all know, in the Western world, all is made with regulations in mind, there are no migrant workers (because the term ex-pat is reserved for overprivileged white people), only Americans build American buildings etc. All I know is that it is pretty much certain is that no worker without a work visa worked on that site.
OSHA inspector here. I did have a stroke watching this especially at 04:30 mark. If this was built here (western) the project would ve been shut down until all the safety measures have been applied and complied with.
@@kalyansahan238 You are no "OSHA inspector". Just an evious, pathological random indian liar, I got you!

Somehow, i feel a resemblence between this, and the Tower of Babel.
Just as absurd as the western world who has devout followers to a golden pig who adheres by his every action to committing every one of the 7 deadly sins.
And all of his followers think he’s their messiah.
I had the exact reaction.
Not to get too much into it, but the Tower of Babel was likely a ziggurat forming an ascension (or stairway) into heaven.

I stayed at the fairmont hotel which is located within one of the towers. Even up close you cannot grasp the true magnitude of the development. Only when your driving up to makkah and still miles away you see the towers in the distance on then do you actually get an understanding of the size of that thing.
Truly amazing!
The clock messes up the scale, we aren't used to see clocks that big, the brain has no frame of reference so it scale downs the entire tower.

What is most astonishing is the Christians’ rejection of the marriage of the Messenger - may God bless him and grant him peace - when she was nine years old and he was over fifty, while they see no harm in the Virgin Mary being engaged to Joseph the carpenter when she was twelve years old and he was over ninety, meaning that the age difference between them was more than seventy-eight years, as mentioned by the Catholic Encyclopedia. There is not a single phrase in their “holy” book that prohibits the marriage of girls at the age of nine, or even a single sentence specifying the age of marriage. Didn’t Ahaz get married when he was ten years old and have children when he was eleven years old? It is stated in 2 Kings 2:16: “Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. And it is stated in 2 Kings 2:18: “In the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years.” Ahaz was 36 years old. If his son became king when he was about 25 years old, his father would have been blessed with him when he was about 11 years old. Their priest, Munis Abdul Nour, mentioned in his book Doubts about the Bible: “There is no objection to there being 11 years between him and his father,” and he began to give historical examples of that. It is well known that the age of maturity of females is less than the age of maturity of males living in the same region, so this means that his wife might have been nine or ten years old like him, and she was even fit to give birth at that age. So why do you deny marriage to Aisha at such an age, and your book does not deny it? How do they deny marriage to the beloved Mustafa at a time when they believe that the prophets committed the abominations and obscenities of incest? Such as their claim that Lot - peace be upon him - committed adultery with his two daughters, and that David committed adultery with the wife of a soldier in his army. Rather, he ordered the army commander to uncover him during war so that the enemies could kill him. They do not find it shameful to describe Solomon - peace be upon him - as an infidel and that he worshipped idols in order to please his pagan wives.@@2011arish

In the Ottoman era, people never built higher than the Kabaa for respect reasons. Not a religious belief, merely showing more respect. But when the Saudis came, and with time this tradition wasn’t considered important anymore, obviously.

The UAE is also in Asia
While I can't speak for our communist hockey loving friends to the north, i can assure you Americans call the location of the UAE the Middle East, not Asia.
In political terms, yes. Everyone calls that the middle east. However in geographical sense, as in Continental divide, it is Asia which the original comment was probably referring to.
and "asia" means only east asia (chinas, koreas, japan, mongolia).
so does half of Turkey……..
So i could see calling it Asian Continent. I understand the geography. But if you say Asia alone in the USA, unless you are talking to a recent immigrant, will be understood as china, japan, koreas, vietnam, indonesia, taiwan, phillipines, laos, cambodia, etc. Not india, not Yemen, not azerbijan, not eastern turkey certainly.

People need to remember Mecca was a pagan site of pilgrimage PRIOR to Islam. They worshipped idols most of which were destroyed when it became a site for Islamic worship,BUT they kept one idol the black stone .
Which is so confusing that they still worship the black stone with the same circling ritual …
black stone is not worshipped, its a stone from paradise. and people love paradise thus they love the stone.
Who told you that muslims worship the blk stone ?
Even the idol of Jesus there was the Black Stone not an idol and the Muslims broke it several times
Not true. The Arabs desecrated the kaaba by putting up idols in and around it. The kaaba itself predates the idol worship. Now, the Kaaba is the direction of prayer and can be compared to the Western Wall/Wailing wall in Jerusalem for the Jews. They pray in that direction, they touch the wall, but they do not worship the wall. Somehow i see nobody accuse Jews of polytheism.
what is the black and white obelisk at 3:24 ? It looks very interesting.

The Catholic Encyclopedia, II, page 263:
“The baptismal formula was changed from the name of Jesus Christ to the words Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by the Catholic Church in the second century.”
The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries, I, 275:
“It is often affirmed that the words in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost are not the ipsissima verba [exact words] of Jesus, but…a later liturgical addition.”
tthew 21:11
And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Luke 7:16
Fear gripped them all, and they began glorifying God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!”
John 4:19
The woman *said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.

When they sought to seize Him, they feared the people, because they considered Him to be a prophet.
John 6:14
Therefore when the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
John 7:40
Some of the people therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, “This certainly is the Prophet.”
John 9:17
So they *said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.”
Luke 24:19
And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people,

But others were saying, “He is Elijah.” And others were saying, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”
Mark 8:28
They told Him, saying, “John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.”
Luke 9:8
and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen again.
OK, so Jesus doesnt refute anybody calling him a Prophet, he reaffirms it
Luke 13:33 . . . . I must proceed on my way. For it wouldn’t do for a prophet of God to be kwil. Led except in Jerusalem.
Mark 6:3-4 Then they scoffed . . . . They were deeply off. nded and refused to believe in him. Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family
What about “He who is without s77n, should k4st the f1r5t”?
Looking back at John 7:53-8:11, it is clear this story was not in John’s original gospel. Your Bible likely has brackets around this story with a note that says something like “The earliest manuscripts do not include 7:53-8:11.” This is because the only manuscript before the ninth century to include this story was one from the fifth century found in western Europe (further from where John wrote) and also deviates from earlier manuscripts in other key areas. Other copies from the tenth century onward that have it, often place it, or variations of it, in different places throughout the gospels. It only became more common in its current form and location in manuscripts dating from the Middle Ages.
On the other hand, every other early manuscript omits it, notably including two of the earliest and most reliable manuscripts, called Papyrus 66 and Papyrus 75 that date from the second or early third century and were found in Egypt (closer to where John wrote). Codex Sinaiticus, the oldest complete copy of the New Testament (c. 325 CE), does not include it either. No pastor or theologian from the eastern side of the early church references it until the tenth century. In their commentaries and sermons, they go directly from John 7:52 to 8:12 (keep in mind that current chapter and verse breakdowns were added later). Finally, all the earliest translations of the Greek New Testament (Syriac, Coptic, Armenian, Old Latin, and Georgian) skip this story as well.
