Dubai is the fastest growing desert city in the world, to attract the super rich and sustain the growth, it needs a beach for real estate which is limited in supply.


So the engineers came up with this, man made islands shaped like a giant palm tree and the world map. It is an extreme feat of engineering.

More than the size of a thousand football field, sitting on almost 7million tons of rocks, 150million tons of sand, and creating space for almost 5000 homes. A luxury resort built right into the ocean.



I watched a documentary on how this island was constructed.

It was amazing ....

a Christian geologist was asked the same question, he said " man met a perfect earth....". According to climatologist, they believed that the earth atmosphere was devoid of even the littlest oxygen at one time.....carbon dioxide everywhere, but some earliest bacteria worked on the system and oxygen got introduced. the summary of my story......man met a perfect earth devoid of inadequate oxygen and later on huge dinosaurs.
