  1. Well, this is an architectural (not to mention militaristic) wet dream, but none of this is practical. I mean I get that the dire urge to unburden (Old) Cairo and that Egypt is capable of building yet another new capital. However, first of all, Egypt is on already fierce levels of water scarcity and without a long-term plan, Benshangul's GERD will bring the desert paradise into a parched ruin. Yet, New Capital is going to have a water-intensive, green park stretch through the middle of the whole city. Not only are there bundles of artificially place trees that will use up tons of H20, but THERE IS GOING TO BE A MAN-MADE RIVER!!!!! Last I check rivers were freshwater bodies. Second of all, the world is in a functional sand shortage which is used to make cement. Meaning a shortage in cement that heavily impairs architectural execution, so good luck building obliques, palaces, and even asphalt. (PS: And desert sand does not equal cement sand.)

  2. I didn't even get into where the corrupt government will get the money for this dreamscape project. Obviously, the money won't go to addressing the high homelessness, unemployment, & poverty rates.

  4. All in all though, great video. I really enjoyed the brilliant use of satellite imagery with the added scale of time effect.
