Only thing left is to get it off the paper into a real thing. They are working at that phase at this moment, but that will take a couple of years of gathering sponsors, goverment aprovals, etc. Originally Posted by Aryl

Which other sink to you expect them to throw their money down into???
Then he fapped to his own pseudo-intellectualism and no one ever loved him. Ever.

Then you should go to a real city instead of Amsterdam. You go to a tourist area, you'll be treated as one. Because we all know everyone just comes for our weed. Amirite? Originally Posted by Stealthwings

it wouldn't be to difficult to build a big pile of rock considering we have built skyscrapers etc.

Ignorant much? The Netherlands is beautiful. Then again, I'm from the western end of the world, and that ancient architecture and history is very appealing to a lot of us. Try going to places that aren't Amsterdam though. While a lot of the city is gorgeous, it's also the tourist dumping ground. Originally Posted by Stealthwings

The bill is rather large, but the tourism potential is tremendous. People are going to want to see a 2km high man made mountain. Add on the fact that the entire country will now have their own facilities that they generally have to travel to other countries to participate in (feeding their economy)."The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age"

They actually want it to be ready in 2015
Here is the official site for the mountain:

And here is a plan presented by DHV, and engineering firm:

Not only is that impossible, it's ludicrous. Originally Posted by hulocon

If there are taxes involved i would gladly spend money on a MOUNTAIN then pay for militairy defense/war/immigrants and keeping Banks alive. im disgusted by those (especially the last)
and the good part is that we will probably not even pay taxes for it, will probably change into a low percentage but hey! whatever, if we get to build the humans greatest feat in history im all for it!
