Bloomberg, 10th of April published news about Saudi Arabia haulting all funds to The Line and Neom indefinitely.

I posted about this two years ago recommending to scrap The Line, specifically.

It seems the Saudis figured out they've been scammed for all they got and more, unlike our dumb leadership in Egypt that is still pursuing it's own demise, and the Country's at large.

A Vision and Policy that has manifested an economic downward spiral of unsurmountable dept and inflation, considered by many as an irredeemable situation.

The problem is that our leadership's ego has been organically intertwinned with a faulty and incoherent vision that has run the economy into the ground and is still digging.

Congratulations Saudi Arabia, better late than never.

Especially dedicated to Home buyers (apartments 2,3,4 bedrooms).
Beneficiary for Architects as well, as some of the failed master plans are produced by Architects.

A hand guide on what to consider, what to look for, and how to evaluate your Options in terms of Quantity (areas) and Design Quality (Architecturally evaluating the Plan).

Where exemplary residential plans from the Egyptian market are evaluated according to the outlined Design Quality Standards and functional program assumed axiomatic for this residential category.

The guide only covers In-scale evaluations, and does not extend to outside-unit considerations (Out-scale evaluations).

Most of our clients' questions and queries about apartment unit evaluations are addressed in this paper.

Pliny the Elder, 56 AD
"In the interior of the largest Pyramid there is a well, eighty-six cubits [45.1 m; 147.8 ft] deep, which communicates with the river, it is thought"

Herodotus,5th century AD
Herodotus states that at the Pyramid of Khafre the Nile flows through a built passage to an ISLAND in which Khufu is buried.[48] Hawass interprets this to be a reference to the "Osiris Shaft", which is located at the causeway of Khafre, south of the Great Pyramid.

Can we expect to find Well-Shafts in Khufu and Khafre and where would you look first? 🥲

Quarry of the Unfinished Obelisk.
Aswan, Egypt.

Despite a huge body of literature written by numerous architects and archeologists, the site remains a mystery.

Basic questions about : stone cutting, polishing, transport, shipping and placement, remain open ended.

The Unfinished Obelisk dedicated to Thutmose II or Hatchepsut 1420 BC. (Middle Kindom), undermines a trending theory suggesting a predynastic origin of some Egyptian megaliths.

Answering questions about this site, would do the heavy lifting for solving the biggest mystery of all, the Pyramids !

Santiago de Compostella Archcatedral Basilica, located in Galicia, North of Spain, جليقية

Dedicated to the Apostle James, The Elder, son of Zebedee, denoted as the Saint Patron of Spain.

it is another piece of extinct architecture, science and beauty,
Construction of the present cathedral began in 1075 under the reign of Alfonso VI of Castile (1040–1109). Construction was halted several times, the last stone was laid in 1122.

Influences : Romanesque, baroque, gothic.

Unsurprisingly, it took a 100 years to build, it is a lost knowledge and an unattainable craftsmanship in structure, masonry and sculpture.
