But it still hit me. Are you familiar with the structures extending out into the water off of Dubai? Here is what they look like from above.

Guest shiloh357 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Other than one that looks like picture of the world, the others make no sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting that with a map of the world gives the appearance of making a statement concerning Islam and the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The World" was to be the site of luxury homes for the international super-rich. Theproject got hit by the financial crisis and very few homes were built. it's an expensive folly slowly being reclaimed by the sea around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked on google map and saw only the middle designs that dont look like much but on google map look like palm trees enclosed in a circle and the one that looks like a map here but does not look like a map on google map. Although that one is called world islands. The crescent one though I can only find on a blog site if I search images. Who knows how accurate that is.
