Saudi Arabia plans a massive desert SIDESCRAPER: MBS unveils 75 mile-long, $1 trillion skyscraper called the Mirror Line that will be taller than the Empire State Building and house up to five million people
2022-07-25
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] It’ll be a technological feat, no doubt, but I’ll bet money the locals refuse to move in.
  • Saudi Arabia plans on building a 75-mile skyscraper called the Mirror Line by 2030
    ...that target already slipping...
  • Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced in January 2021 and said he wanted to be greater than the Egyptian Pyramids

  • The Mirror Line will consist of two 1,600 feet tall, carbon neutral buildings with vertical farming that run parallel to each other and go across desert, mountains, and coastal areas

  • When completed, the $1 trillion megabuilding will hold up to 5million people and people will be able to commute end-to-end in 20 minutes
