From dozens of man-made islands, to a massive 1km tall skyscraper that would have been the tallest building in the world, these are Azerbaijan’s ambitious Khazar Islands! But today, more than a decade since it was unveiled to the public, only a few undeveloped islands and unfinished buildings remain on site. So, what actually happened here? Have the islands completely been abandoned?

    What do you think, could this project ever be really completed? 🤔 We made a mistake at 1:27. The tool we use to animate the maps incorrectly added Crimea to Russia. We stand with Ukraine and do not support this view and therefore apologize! Which projects should we cover next?
  • @vTransQueen
    I want to see a mega project that is just a shit ton of affordable housing
  • @jamilshekinski
    As an Azerbaijani, I'm happy this project didn't take off. Azerbaijan has MUCH bigger issues to address than building artificial islands and competing with Gulf countries in di**-measuring contests.

    That tower looks amazing but I really don't think the world needs anymore of these type of projects. There are so many better things humanity can do with the money and resources. Great video as always Regis.
  • @Lifts_QWERTY
    Dubai can’t even complete any new projects because it’s too ‘unrealistic’. We don’t have the money or resources. If Dubai can’t do any crazy -rejects like this, no other country can.

    I am here to contribute absolutely nothing to this comment section.

    As an Azerbaijani, it's sad that I was a kid back then and didn't hear about that comedy show. How can one "businessman" get $100B investment with a "project" that's just a ripoff of Dubai islands he "planned" in 20 MINUTES? Props to Regis for not laughing during the entire video lol

    Love azerbaijan from turkey❤
  • @inertiaMS
    It's hilarious that the places that most want to build skyscrapers and make islands are also the places with unlimited land and zero need for more space.
  • @joeyjoe7930
    We need to stop trying to build these high buildings and start thinking about sustainability.
  • @vanceking354
    Great job! Always a blast to watch! Thank you.
  • Sounds like yet another example of an overly ambitious property developer out for personal profit getting absolutely spanked by reality. Which is lovely to see.
  • @philipmurphy2
    Great job, MegaBuilds is always interesting to watch and far better then any sport

    No need these islands. As Azerbaijani i think We still need 10 years to boost our economy and all. Good thing I can tell is, we are developing in a faster pace. Yet I think these Islands would be nothing but fiasco, since Dubai already exists with high rise buildings. You need more than tall buildings to attract people. Great coverage though.

    Looks like these islands/cities were about as well thought out as "The line"
