I can see the height of Burj Dubai which is under construction and it's amazing! I'm wondering how this Mile Tower in Jeddah will be when it's constructed. Oxygen may be required on the top floors he he he...

Yup, another Tower of Babel. I guess this one will last longer though.

they have to build a legacy as enzo mentioned, seems like history repeating itself in the middle east. the Pharaohs of Egypt did the same thing many thousands of years ago... I wonder if these buildings can withstand the test of time as the many pyramids have.

Babel is Babylon.... or is a Babylonian town... ... present day IRAQ. my thoughts exactly enzo.... The Banawe rice terraces was built at the same time as the pyramids. People united for one purpose and that is, survival. The pyramids and the tower of babel was built to satisfy leaders or whatever reason they have, whatever, but by slaves. Anyone of you saw some stories about the conditions of the workers of burj dubai? Cant say more.

Phallic symbol i'd say. through centuries, man just can't stand sitting around knowing somebody had it longer or taller than him.
