    NEOM .....Never Even One Mile. I love how they show people picking fruit from the trees......🤣 Do the people on the first 80-90 floors ever see sunlight again?? Flying cars just zippin' around. How come they don't show the industrial pumps needed to supply water to the top floors?? No time to figure out where their food comes from...save the birds from flying into the mirrors. They show trucks and diggers moving a lot of sand around for miles and miles, but not even one foot of skyscrapers. And this is to combat urban sprawl?? Your in a freaking desert...sprawl all you want. I really do want some of what these people are smoking.

      Yet, here we are in 2024, where a wall exists that has portions of it over 1000 years old and is 5500 miles long. Not really sure why you think this any less possible or significant.

      @@timanders3151 The Great Wall is just a stone wall with a path on it. Is it big? Yes. Is it a marvel of human architecture? Yes. Is it as delusional as this project? No. Because this project has more to it than being just a singular structure, if it was just a big chunk of mirror then obviously it would be possible, but they're trying to build a city within it. Also it's going to have a max height of 500ft compared the Great Wall which has a max height of 39ft and a width of 200 meters compared to the 6 meters wide Great Wall
      Also you're forgetting the immense labor costs (including the gathering of materials) that are going into this... hate to say it but many parts of the Great Wall weren't necessarily paid for
      Also the Great Wall is around 13,000 miles but took over 2500 years to build. The Saudi's wanted to build a 500ft, 200m wide city that stretched 105 miles by 2030... delusional

      Nah. It was 100% impossible. The developers did load-bearing tests in the forest (the test sites are still there). They tried to find a limit to the amount of weight the ground could withstand. The director of the entire project, Albert Speer, asked for the results. They told him NEIN!! it was impossible for a few reasons. Where would they get the materials to build this monstrosity (the Great Hall)? If the dome was built to Hitler's specs, the weight would be too much for the walls to support and would crack no matter how they reinforced it. Even if they could, it would sink into the ground. Even if they succeeded, there was another issue: the dome would be so massive that it would have its own weather. The moisture from so many people breathing would collect at the top and form clouds that could make it rain! Seriously, NASA has this problem in its hangar where the space shuttles were repaired and prepped for their flights.
