Literally what the fuck were they thinking?
They weren't thinking. The Saudi government and all their megaprojects is essentially what would happen if you gave a 14 year old an endless supply of money and couldn't say no to any of his ideas. Everything you see being built in any oil state is the result of some prince saying "bro wouldn't it be cool if..." to his servant. No one can tell him it's impossible or retarded or else their entire family will be executed.
>>214600170whats wrong exactly?
The Saudi family was good a tribal warfare but not good at ruling a modern nation, specially Arabia. They cannot be removed because of American sunken cost into them tho.
>>214600530But don't worry, the erosive powers of sand are not to be underestimated.
>>214600170What happens in that clocktower?
>>214600170what happens if someone pisses on the cube?
>>214600668Turned onto a camel by allah
>>214600668Genuinely you would be killed on the spot. If it was during Hajj they would probably beat you with their shoes, scratch at you, tear off your clothes, punch you and stomp on you until they cracked your skull and then rip off your skin and piss into the open stretches of blood, fat, muscle and exposed bone. They would kill you. They would fucking kill you.
That city looks so kitsch
>>214603264Tacky, tasteless towers. That's all of the Arab states. I think your country and mine both have much better architecture overall
>>214603281Imagine building that stuff in The Vatican, unthinkable.
>>214603227I want to smear bacon on it.You'd at least get a wikipedia article for that.
>>214600170Is that the eye of Sauron on that tower or are they happy to see me?>Captcha
>>214603227None of that is true and the black rock was once stolen and smeared with feces in the year 900ish
>>214600655all the buildings are hotels, as well as unseen hotel tents.
>>214600170>Hmm, you know what would look great next to our holy site Muhammad, a tacky casino
>>214600170>a fucking cube
>>214600170Its a project to pave over everything and destroy any archeological evidence or lack there of. And make money, lots of money off the pilgrimage.
>>214600170Is that Moscow?
>>214603320Arabs are known for gaudy tastelessness. Of course their holy sites aren't an exception.
>>214605076It's what Moscow will look like after climate change.
>>214600170All that money could been better used to make a beautiful garden around it and filling the city with green areas. Instead they choose a grotesque and massive piece of concrete
>>214605508Beside turning the place into Las Meccas aesthetics the whole region is permabrown colored and arid with just rocks and some bushes. There is no life nor God in that area, no point turning it into Palm Springs either.
>>214600170It’s a maze of long hallways and large halls. You also run into plenty of closed doors and random encounters with people of obscure ethnicities. It unironically reminds me of Dracula’s castle from Castlevania.
>>214600170paris? didnt know you had a big ben copy
>>214600470needs a fixThere we go
>>214605933was ataturk really that big?
>>214605979Well, He’s largely considered a joke. I mean, who changes their own language just to appeal to Europeans?And even still, they didn’t let them in the EU.
>>214606035No I am asking if he was physically that big. I'm not sure if it's a fake photo or not
>>214606091Oh. No, he was a man of small stature. Only five feet tall.
God has appointed the Ka'bah, the Inviolable Temple, shall be a symbol for all mankind; and the sacred month of pilgrimage and the garlanded offerings meant to make you aware that God is aware of all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth, and that God has full knowledge of everything.
>>214606175oh okay so it's a fake photo
>muslims: "we're not pagans!">also muslims: cube
>jews: we are not pagans>also jews : sacrifices babies to moloch
