The Royal Clock Tower In Mecca
The Royal Mecca Clock Tower, which strikes a resemblance to both Big Ben's St Stephen’s Tower, and the Empire State Building, is six times larger than London's Big Ben and is the world's biggest clock tower. At a height of 1,970 feet, it is also being recorded as the second tallest building in the world. The $800 million, Saudi royal family-funded clock project has four faces stretched 151 feet in diameter with a spire that is topped with a 75-foot wide golden crescent moon, and five times a day, 21,000 green and white LED bulbs flash as a reminder to pray. The surrounding complex of the massive clock is set to have seven towers in total, which will house hotels, shopping malls, and conference centers.
"That's why if someone travels to Mecca or lives there, he lives longer, is healthier and is less affected by the earth's gravity," he said. "You get charged with energy."
Western scientists have challenged such assertions though, noting that the Magnetic North Pole is in actual fact on a line of longitude that passes through Canada, the United States, Mexico and Antarctica. The North Pole is currently calculated to be in Ellesmere Island, Canada — though its exact location shifts around each year.
