Saudi Arabia has begun excavating for its giant, 100 mile-long skyscraper development in the middle of the desert, according to new drones.
According to the kingdom's statements at the time it was announced, "The Line" will be built in a 105-mile straight line.
A huge construction site with dozens of excavators is shown in the video.
The project is already off to a rough start due to dark things going on behind the scenes.
The Huwaitat tribe were sentenced to death by the state for refusing to leave their homes to make way for the development.
According to the report, the Saudi government confirmed earlier in October that three members of the tribe were sentenced to be executed for refusing to leave their homes when developers came to seize their land for a megacity.
Though this sort of thing is not new for Saudi Arabia, the fact that the country is committing human rights abuses on this level while also planning a utopian fantasy is dissonant.
Beyond the glaring human rights issues at play, the project itself, which sounds a lot like a stationary version of the train from "Snowpiercer", is pretty crazy.
That's because, aside from being overly ambitious, the concept seems extremely strange logistically speaking, with a height of less than 700 feet.
Progress is king in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the world and those who are in the way of it are expendable.
