This is pure art, there is something out of this world with your builds and it gets clearer with how big and magnificent they are. This phenomenal fantasy version of Babylon just screams ancient glory and beauty like you could hardly find in blockbuster movies. Outstanding job !
Then watch trixyblocks or chrisdacow or the person who made equilibrium city. This build isn't the best at least because the author didn't make any research and mixed many unrelated cultures and centuries in one and my brain kinda died😬

@@Gold8781so what you are saying is that we should stop doing our hobbies, then start doing stuff that is productive in your opinion? Lets say i was working on a art project for about 3 months because its my hobby, i finished the project sold it and repeated it for a year, the results may be not as much as you expected but its something that i liked, its better than forcing yourself to do something that you dont like for an extra money, atleasy its still money, he have patreons and business mail, he can also earn from old videos as long as its monetized, so he can earn more than you calculated, we cant always do the most productive things in our lives.

Game studios should hire this guy as environment design lead artist. Imagine an MMO with a city like this, setting a sense of scale that makes you feel tiny in place of its grandiose.
When you started the buildings, I was like "oh okay he must be doing some templates to copy a little there", but you build another one, another one, another one. HOW can you have so much imagination? It's like your mind is infinite. The variety here create and really living atmosphere it's really breathtaking.
I don't think you can be labelled as a Minecraft Builder anymore... YOU NEED TO BE LABELLED AN ARTIST! HOLY COW THIS IS SO MOTIVATIONAL AND BEAUTIFUL!!
Я взрослый дядя. Никогда не играл в майнкрафт и не прикасался даже к нему, но возможности создавать в этой игре шедевры впечатляют! Мой сынишка семи лет играет в него и постепенно свои постройки делает всё лучше и лучше. Сам смотрит подобные видео. Возможно это повлияет в выборе профессии.
I can’t tell you how happy I am that you made a city actually feel like a populated city, with hundreds of residential homes to get that sense of a truly massive population
He didn't take 1000 hours, he cloned stuff, I would be surprised if it took more than a week - evidence: th-cam.com/video/GicoydXxVmQ/w-d-xo.html (in 0.25x speed you can see him copy paste the tower).
This guy’s patience is literally godlike like if i would build that after building the first wall i would give up and the building man, i cant even imagine how this guy thought of this the effort is literally so good i wonder how this guy didn’t even break a finger dude this guy needs an oscar.
You’ve combined millennia of architecture from the Fertile Crescent, sprinkled it with Ottoman/Arabic elements, and then you turned the dial to 1000 with this oasis/Babylonian fantasy of the hanging gardens through pixelated art of one of the most popular games on Earth. What a pleasure and an honor to see a master at work.
Ottoman? The first building was very clearly the Hagia Sophia, a Eastern Roman church. All the Ottomans added to it were the four blasphemous minarets.
As someone who has built many things in minecraft i can genuinely say this is pure art. I could never accomplish this tbh; this bros skill and determination are unrivaled. More kudos than I could ever muster go to this person. Just excellent
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, this is insane! I was in awe from the moment you started building the outer wall, just from the sheer scale at which you were building. But then also being blown away by the amount of detail in each and every aspect of every building you included, and just how much you managed to squeeze into every little space available. Even if you didn't have all the villagers in it in the end, this really felt like an ancient city that was bursting at the seams with life at some point. I don't really have the words to express how amazing and pleasing this is so I'll just say this: excellent work~!
1,000 hours. Imagine working a 40 hour work week, that's 25 weeks. I can't even imagine the amount of planning a project, this size, takes. Congratulations man! Amazing build!
It is a lie. Clearly trees and buildings have been cloned, evidence can be found here: th-cam.com/video/GicoydXxVmQ/w-d-xo.html (in 0.25x speed you can see him copy paste the tower).
What i find most amazing here is the absolute mindblowing imagination that you have. Not only to create those incredible massive constructions, but for the capacity to build completelly different types of buildings but keeping the same style. I was really amazed when you were doing the houses. Most of us would do like 10 different houses and then copy/pasting them with wordledit. But you created a crazy amount of houses with completelly different forms and styles while keeping them together amazingly. I promise you i was like: "man, he gotta stop doing more houses at some point and start filling the map". But you just kept going, and all of them look incredible. Absolutelly mindlowing. Like fr. I've seen a lot, and it's hard to impress me with Minecraft buildings. But you sir, you definitelly impressed me. Well, well done! You deserve much more recognition!

@@Pollicina_db Yea I noticed the Hagia Sophia as well. Very clear inspiration there lol. Just goes to show how iconic that building still is 1500 years later.
I, a colleague who’s also an architect, must admit that even if the architecture is not accurate, the elements used definitely reminisce the Hanging Gardens in a way that anyone could relate Babylon to this without knowing it beforehand. This is just amazing.
You clearly haven't heard of those nutters that re-build the entirety of middle-earth to scale in minecraft, I take it? Still, this IS impressive for one guy.
It really is amazing! As is MCME (Which RogThePirate mentioned and a server I visit from time to time) I think SciCraft are probably still the top dogs for Minecraft crazyness since their stuff is built in survival. Also Epicwork China is a creative build team that a lot of players don't know about but they have built some spectacular things. Kudos to this person though... Building something like this solo is an endeavour.
More like "world designer" or "level designer" than a "game designer". But you could ask a game designer to invent different game mod ideas with that city. Risk (imagine playing a game of thrones style in this kind of world), platforming, Survival multiplay RPG, PvE invasion, full history rpg, economic management simulation ... you can do whatever you want with this kind of level.
Environment artist, more like. It can't even be considered a "level" as the building process didn't involve considering gameplay. In fact, the building process WAS the gameplay.
Love the fusion of Babylonian, Byzantine and Egyptian architecture. All the greenery gives off a real hanging gardens of Babylon vibe, the pillars and design of the buildings make it seem like the city of world’s desire at it height and of course the sandstone, obelisks and statues of Anubis show that Egyptian aspect.
Wow just WoW, the amount of time and effort put into this build must have been unreal. I salute you all for this amazing project, keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for this team. Now I'll just go back to my 10 year old ongoing project and silently sob as my efforts pale in comparison.
@@justine4353 Higia Sophia has about 4000 years of difference with Babylon... That's 2 times the time difference between us and Jesus . What i am getting at is that he shouldn't have included Higia Sophia , because is hardly "ancient" and more like medieval
If I experienced this in real life, I couldn’t fathom the overwhelming emotions I would have. I wouldn’t look at humanity the same anymore. This is pure talent. The detail is INCREDIBLE! This is Simcity on steroids, and out of this world.
What almost impresses me the most is that you immediately know what you want a building to look like and always end up with an amazing structure. I spend most of the time staring at my build considering what to add next and would never even come close to completing such a massive project. Incredible job!
This would be such a beautiful place if Babylon was made exactly like this, and I like how you added the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to this as a nice touch!
Instead, architects always build the same, boring modern block buildings. It would be cool if there were architects like Timtenth who would build epic living buildings like the ones in the video. I really sometimes wonder why we as a society have in many cases stopped building representative buildings like a few centuries ago. Ok, we still build representative buildings, but they have a very clean look and little heat.
@@Eurograph Don't blame architects, blame tasteless billionaires/governments paying for it and creating the specifications. Everything now is about utility and cost-effectiveness, no money for 'wasteful' ornamentation. Some architectural masterpieces took several centuries to build even when they had the tools to build it faster and cheaper, especially the Gothic ones. Most great buildings of the past were religious or driven by a sense of high civic duty. None of that exists anymore.
@@davidb5205 They also used forced labor...AKA slaves...so it's pretty good it doesn't exist anymore, and religion ruins everything. Does way more harm than good. How much art and beautiful things have been destroyed because it doesn't fit into the fictional book someone worships
@@davidb5205 I agree with you that I cannot condemn all architects. But there are architects who are happy to support, even fuel, the trend towards modernity, and these can be denounced. I also agree with you that the picture is much more detailed than I have presented it. There are various actors involved in the construction of buildings. This ranges, as you said, from billionaires to city councils who are only after "the main thing is cheap and fast". The points you mentioned such as utility, cost efficiency, redundancy or time are also very important factors. It is also important to mention that crafts such as stuccoing, stonemasonry or thatching are dying professions. And those craftsmen who still exist can, of course, set their own prices for their craft due to the lack of competition. Whereas I think that certain ornaments can certainly be produced industrially, as for example in the area of cast iron. And sandstones could be chiselled into shape by industrial robots. Of course, the disadvantage here is that individuality is also somewhat lost. Because where every stone used to look different, now all stones look the same. I would disagree with you on the point that there are no more social ambitions, such as religious ones or the "feeling of high civic responsibility". We have extremely strong competition between states, social systems and business enterprises. Buildings like the Burj Khalifa, the Three Gorges Dam, the Apple headquarters in Cupertino or the "May Day" stadium do not only have a utilitarian purpose, but, like the Cologne Cathedral, the Tower Bridge or the Pyramids of Giza, are supposed to represent the country and the people behind the buildings. The difference is that splendour is understood differently in our time: clear lines, sobriety, minimalism, tall large spaces, lots of glass and translucency.
Calling this art is a massive understatement. All Minecraft builds can qualify as art. This… this is something else entirely. It’s something language currently can’t explain… Phenomenal work as usual!
You can tell the amount of thought put into this build sheerly based on the fact that you have actual Babylonian aspects of architecture scattered throughout the build.
Hard disagree there. When you call a build "Babylon", it shouldn't just have small (and they are small) scatterings of the actual place. The build has more Egypt, Greece, Rome, Mesoamerica, medieval Europe and islamic architecture (the mosque) than it does Babylonia. It's an unbelievable, amazing work of art in its own right and I applaud the creator for his skill and dedication, but not for the representation of Babylonian architecture.
@@Caroscribbles I dont think you understand what I meant. I was speaking of the details itself. Of course the framing doesn't accurately represent that of actual babylonian buildings since it's a fantasy build.
I was losing my mind when you started mass producing all the tiny intricate city buildings near the end. Sometimes I think it's harder to make the multitude of tiny houses because of the variation you have to put in to each house. It must have been hard work, but it paid off! Amazing results!
I'm Historian. And this is the most amazing work i ever seen in my entire life ! You just make me dream about what Babylon can looks. Congratulations !
@@shulky1566 I only watched Zero and /Stay night both versions and unlimited blades work, but aside from that i haven't seen the other Fates. Would you recommend finishing the series?

Every pinch of your work deserves to be in a museum. I’m not even putting it lightly. The only world I can use to describe what I just watched is perfection, I really hope you recognize how talented you are my friend, we all see it.
This was absolutely fantastic stuff! I'm not even interested about minecraft but was worth every minute spent. Great social experiment and story really well told. Thank you! 10/10.
As a history buff I've seen so many videos attempting to replicate the sheer SCALE of what we lost in the Tigris-Euphrates River, but holy shit man... This is astonishing. The details! The weathering! The sound bites meshed so well in tune with the areas pictured! GAAAH, I can't. It's too good ;-;
This honestly blew away my mind, the scale IS so MASSIVE. I'd imagined if we are able to build this place in real life how cool would that be to be able to set foot or see structures like this being built in real life.. SUPERRRRRR
Incredible artwork of Babylon. Absolutely worth your 4.5 million views. Scaled to real life and even a 4070 could not avoid the pop due to it’s immense size. It was glorious all the same!
Reminds me of this one anecdote I recall reading in the Histories of Herodotus… supposedly, when Babylon was captured by the Persians the city was so large that there were reportedly portions of the population who were not aware until 3 days after the fact!
This is really insane..I mean..the level of creativity, the design and accents that flow trough this whole build are mindblowing! Great job, really really impressive! Thanks for sharing, this shows everyone that you can achieve anything you want, limitations only exists within your own mind.
@@atb7606 The United States and the United Kingdom stole a lot of Babylonian artifacts and put them in their museums. We in Iraq are proud of our history, but the rest of the countries want to erase them.
One thing I’ve always been in awe of is the patience and work that goes into designing and building something of this scale. You clearly have a passion and it’s amazinf
how did 1500 people look at this and go 'ehh, i dont like it'. This is the best minecraft build i have ever seen, without exception, you deserve so much more recognition than you have, good sir.
This is exactly what I look for. Creating your own massive city all by the mind, putting words and thoughts into construction and architecture. You could take every building and put it into a buiiding kit where each building is placeable. Perfect themeing and a sight to see.
When Technoblade said he was ascending to take on God’s kingdom, I like to imagine that he meant something like this. Great build, and feel free to take as many breaks as you need, youtubing is hard
Everytime you completed an area, I'd think, "Yea, but no way he adds x" and then not only do you add more, it surpasses my expectations. Truly amazing build and I don't even play minecraft!
At first I was like dude is using copy/paste commands and such, but F if you hadn't been using them this would have taken 10,000 hours and 1000 is already A LOT! This is abseloutely beautiful and inspiring me creatively sooo much. Thanks for sharing your wonderous skills with us!
This is just... incredible. People who say minecraft isn't an art form could not be any more in the wrong. This is breathtakingly beautiful, and you should be very proud of your work here. 👏 👏 👏 👏
This is phenomenal, I'm not just talking about the city itself, I would like to also show appreciation for how well this video is edited. The shots, angles, music and pacing are all superb!
This literally is the most remarkable thing I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. You have freakish talent and patience. Wow, my mind is blown and this build makes me think we are indeed living in a simulation. The way you process this kind of magnificent complexity in your head in 3D is almost proof positive of this. Mind blown! Great job!
Mind blown glad this randomly popped up in my feed the time effort and planning you put into this is on another level and the end product absolutely stunning.
Holy crap dude 1000 hours? You devote yourself to 1 video game for 1000 hours? To make something so breathtaking and amazing. The massive patience and creativity. To you I salute you. I can’t even begin to put in 1000 hours and patience in this game.
I love how you incorporate bold dashes of color and foliage into a build that would normally be very bland, on top of the scale and variety, this is my new favorite minecraft build ive seen.
Yah, the Lapis Lazuli that created the economy of Babylon. Turned what was a failing city-state into a huge Neo-Babylonian empire that conquered most of the middle-east.
Wow, I imagined a similar city way back when, but alas i was no builder. But to see something similar come alive like this is so amazing. I’m just in awe to see your work, done all alone, with such detail! Man, if you worked as an environmental artist for a game or an MMO…my word.

Love the fusion of Babylonian, Byzantine and Egyptian architecture. All the greenery gives off a real hanging gardens of Babylon vibe, the pillars and design of the buildings make it seem like the city of world’s desire at it height and of course the sandstone, obelisks and statues of Anubis show that Egyptian aspect.
There's a lot of Islamic/Arabic architecture too. Reminds me of Baghdad
@@i_likemen5614 it IS baghdad 😂
Do you know the Babylon is the oldest civilization in the world?
Do you knows thats not true
The sumurians are the oldest
You deserve so much more for all your builds. They're all pieces of art and the mine raft community may be happy to have such a good builder as you.
Wow just WoW, the amount of time and effort put into this build must have been unreal.
I salute you all for this amazing project, keep up the good work.
I look forward to seeing what the future holds for this team.
Now I'll just go back to my 10 year old ongoing project and silently sob as my efforts pale in comparison.
I love how you blended architecture from so many different regions and time periods. It creates such a unique and fantastical atmosphere.
Right at first I was like "Higia Sophia wasn't in Babylon" but then I realized he did an amalgamation of Mediterranean architectural styles.
@@justine4353 Higia Sophia has about 4000 years of difference with Babylon... That's 2 times the time difference between us and Jesus . What i am getting at is that he shouldn't have included Higia Sophia , because is hardly "ancient" and more like medieval
@@Dan_Kanerva And those minarets - the towers of religion that didn't even exist back then.
@@justine4353 i think that giant "mosque" should represent the blue mosque in Istanbul and not the Hagia Sofia
@@Dan_Kanerva Reading the description helps ;)
If I experienced this in real life, I couldn’t fathom the overwhelming emotions I would have. I wouldn’t look at humanity the same anymore. This is pure talent. The detail is INCREDIBLE! This is Simcity on steroids, and out of this world.
What almost impresses me the most is that you immediately know what you want a building to look like and always end up with an amazing structure. I spend most of the time staring at my build considering what to add next and would never even come close to completing such a massive project. Incredible job!
planning
Certainement l'une des plus belles et incroyable construction Minecraft !!! À couper le souffle... 👏👏👏
This would be such a beautiful place if Babylon was made exactly like this, and I like how you added the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to this as a nice touch!
Thank you very much!
It was made like this but war has ruined it
I'm just doubting, the first build looks like a mosquee, which has nothing to do here..
@@inhocsignovinces1327 are you talking about the build around 2:30 in? Because I believe that is a throne room.
@@lelouchvibritannia4235 2:12, it really looke like one, I'm maybe wrong..
Imagine if our architects today had the creativity and support to allow the world around us to look so inviting.
Imagine if Dubai was actually a beautiful city with some babylon style. It could be so good but they failed so hard
Instead, architects always build the same, boring modern block buildings. It would be cool if there were architects like Timtenth who would build epic living buildings like the ones in the video. I really sometimes wonder why we as a society have in many cases stopped building representative buildings like a few centuries ago. Ok, we still build representative buildings, but they have a very clean look and little heat.
@@Eurograph Don't blame architects, blame tasteless billionaires/governments paying for it and creating the specifications. Everything now is about utility and cost-effectiveness, no money for 'wasteful' ornamentation. Some architectural masterpieces took several centuries to build even when they had the tools to build it faster and cheaper, especially the Gothic ones. Most great buildings of the past were religious or driven by a sense of high civic duty. None of that exists anymore.
@@davidb5205 They also used forced labor...AKA slaves...so it's pretty good it doesn't exist anymore, and religion ruins everything. Does way more harm than good. How much art and beautiful things have been destroyed because it doesn't fit into the fictional book someone worships
@@davidb5205 I agree with you that I cannot condemn all architects. But there are architects who are happy to support, even fuel, the trend towards modernity, and these can be denounced. I also agree with you that the picture is much more detailed than I have presented it. There are various actors involved in the construction of buildings. This ranges, as you said, from billionaires to city councils who are only after "the main thing is cheap and fast". The points you mentioned such as utility, cost efficiency, redundancy or time are also very important factors. It is also important to mention that crafts such as stuccoing, stonemasonry or thatching are dying professions. And those craftsmen who still exist can, of course, set their own prices for their craft due to the lack of competition.
Whereas I think that certain ornaments can certainly be produced industrially, as for example in the area of cast iron. And sandstones could be chiselled into shape by industrial robots. Of course, the disadvantage here is that individuality is also somewhat lost. Because where every stone used to look different, now all stones look the same. I would disagree with you on the point that there are no more social ambitions, such as religious ones or the "feeling of high civic responsibility". We have extremely strong competition between states, social systems and business enterprises. Buildings like the Burj Khalifa, the Three Gorges Dam, the Apple headquarters in Cupertino or the "May Day" stadium do not only have a utilitarian purpose, but, like the Cologne Cathedral, the Tower Bridge or the Pyramids of Giza, are supposed to represent the country and the people behind the buildings. The difference is that splendour is understood differently in our time: clear lines, sobriety, minimalism, tall large spaces, lots of glass and translucency.
I dont even play minecraft but watched the whole thing and enjoyed every single second of it. Thanks for sharing it and gratz for the amazing work.
Same man i was like holy shit
You deserve a Guinness world record for sure. And THATS AN UNDERSTATEMENT! INCREDIBLE, I FEEL LIKE IM WATCHING HISTORY UNFOLD!
Calling this art is a massive understatement. All Minecraft builds can qualify as art.
This… this is something else entirely. It’s something language currently can’t explain…
Phenomenal work as usual!
The amount of dedication and patience put into this is mind boggling. Just like what others said, game company should hire you!
너무 대단해서 말이 안 나옵니다. 이 유튜버의 건축 실력과 공간지각능력, 인내력은 감탄을 넘어 경악의 수준입니다. 유튜버의 정신력과 건축실력의 경지가 탈인간에 도달했음을 인정합니다. 너무 대단해요.
This is amazing, imagine you're in an RPG and stumble across a place like THIS
TES 6?
@@kemikemi756 please dont give me false hopes

You can tell the amount of thought put into this build sheerly based on the fact that you have actual Babylonian aspects of architecture scattered throughout the build.
Hard disagree there. When you call a build "Babylon", it shouldn't just have small (and they are small) scatterings of the actual place. The build has more Egypt, Greece, Rome, Mesoamerica, medieval Europe and islamic architecture (the mosque) than it does Babylonia. It's an unbelievable, amazing work of art in its own right and I applaud the creator for his skill and dedication, but not for the representation of Babylonian architecture.
@@Caroscribbles I dont think you understand what I meant. I was speaking of the details itself. Of course the framing doesn't accurately represent that of actual babylonian buildings since it's a fantasy build.
I was losing my mind when you started mass producing all the tiny intricate city buildings near the end. Sometimes I think it's harder to make the multitude of tiny houses because of the variation you have to put in to each house. It must have been hard work, but it paid off! Amazing results!
This is just too fascinating, you must not do it alone, my favorite part is that each house has its own style, the details are truly awesome. ✨
I'm Historian. And this is the most amazing work i ever seen in my entire life ! You just make me dream about what Babylon can looks. Congratulations !
if you like anime go check : Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia
@@shulky1566 I only watched Zero and /Stay night both versions and unlimited blades work, but aside from that i haven't seen the other Fates. Would you recommend finishing the series?
@@bambi.nisseni You can watch "Fate/Grand Order: First Order" and then "Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia" (this fate is my favorite because they go in the past where Gilgamesh used to live)
You can aslo watch "Fate/Extra Last Encore" (the ending for this one is amazing)
And for the last you can watch "Fate/Apocrypha"
As an Assyrian ( half Chaldean ;), half Syriac ), I appreciate your work and THE RESEMBLENCE to the real gardens of Babylon
How can anyone be this good? This is a true work of art.
This is one of the coolest videos I have ever watched on TH-cam 😍
Every pinch of your work deserves to be in a museum. I’m not even putting it lightly. The only world I can use to describe what I just watched is perfection, I really hope you recognize how talented you are my friend, we all see it.
As a concept artist, I can say this is freaking mindblowing. Your level of commitment is just insane.
The level of creativity and scale on display here is truly incredible.
This was absolutely fantastic stuff! I'm not even interested about minecraft but was worth every minute spent. Great social experiment and story really well told. Thank you! 10/10.
This is the most amazing minecraft project I have ever seen. Artistic masterpiece.
Wait until you see this

You've combined my love of the ancient world with an amazing game i've known for my whole life... simply incredible.
As a history buff I've seen so many videos attempting to replicate the sheer SCALE of what we lost in the Tigris-Euphrates River, but holy shit man... This is astonishing. The details! The weathering! The sound bites meshed so well in tune with the areas pictured! GAAAH, I can't. It's too good ;-;
Thank you so much!🔥
Wht, why are you talking about the indus river ? 😭
*Tigris-Euphrates river
The United States is the new Babylon
"as a history buff"
"Indus river"
Lmfao
The art. The creativity. The beauty.
Awesome job man! Cheers! 😃
This honestly blew away my mind, the scale IS so MASSIVE. I'd imagined if we are able to build this place in real life how cool would that be to be able to set foot or see structures like this being built in real life.. SUPERRRRRR
I hope this can be one of the main city in a rpg game, that's also COOL
Dude, you're a genius and this is a masterpiece. Damn. I'm speechless.
Incredible artwork of Babylon. Absolutely worth your 4.5 million views. Scaled to real life and even a 4070 could not avoid the pop due to it’s immense size. It was glorious all the same!
The creativity of some of these Minecraftians is mind blowing! This is actually beautiful!!
This masterpiece is too precious to be expressed in one 20-minute video.
Reminds me of this one anecdote I recall reading in the Histories of Herodotus… supposedly, when Babylon was captured by the Persians the city was so large that there were reportedly portions of the population who were not aware until 3 days after the fact!
Herodotus is always a blast to read.
That guy likes to exaggerate anything
I felt terror after realizing how incredible this is.
Sure you did.
the level of tenacity and the sheer determination to complete this project is bananas
Just downloaded it after becoming a patreon. The map is even better than the video. Amazing stuff.
This is really insane..I mean..the level of creativity, the design and accents that flow trough this whole build are mindblowing! Great job, really really impressive! Thanks for sharing, this shows everyone that you can achieve anything you want, limitations only exists within your own mind.
Very beautiful, It's nice to see my civilization, greetings from the country of the Babylonians 🇮🇶❤
You guys should try preserve the remaining Babylonian/Assyrian history and people instead of persecuting them driving them to extinction ❤️
@@atb7606
The United States and the United Kingdom stole a lot of Babylonian artifacts and put them in their museums. We in Iraq are proud of our history, but the rest of the countries want to erase them.
@@atb7606 That's mainly ISIS causing them to flee
I have just spend 17 minutes of my life in complete and utter awe
One thing I’ve always been in awe of is the patience and work that goes into designing and building something of this scale. You clearly have a passion and it’s amazinf
This is absolutely incredible! It feels so lived in. I'd love to explore this city
how did 1500 people look at this and go 'ehh, i dont like it'. This is the best minecraft build i have ever seen, without exception, you deserve so much more recognition than you have, good sir.
it looks like shieet

This is exactly what I look for. Creating your own massive city all by the mind, putting words and thoughts into construction and architecture. You could take every building and put it into a buiiding kit where each building is placeable. Perfect themeing and a sight to see.
When Technoblade said he was ascending to take on God’s kingdom, I like to imagine that he meant something like this.
Great build, and feel free to take as many breaks as you need, youtubing is hard
Babylon is the sinners city; throne of satsn
With such an imagination and sense for detail, colours, architecture....I applaud....I would love to play a game where you design the levels
What a time to be alive. Glad I'm able to see this and say I lived at the same time as this great builders/artists :,)
Everytime you completed an area, I'd think, "Yea, but no way he adds x" and then not only do you add more, it surpasses my expectations. Truly amazing build and I don't even play minecraft!
At first I was like dude is using copy/paste commands and such, but F if you hadn't been using them this would have taken 10,000 hours and 1000 is already A LOT! This is abseloutely beautiful and inspiring me creatively sooo much. Thanks for sharing your wonderous skills with us!
Watching this is satisfying, but making this is the hardest

You keep watching and keep getting amazed by the insane things he builds. We need to get this mant he 1 mil subs he deserves!!
Super incredible scale and details, wonderful design and interesting process.
Great job on this.

You have truly outdone yourself this time. This is really nothing short of incredible. Amazing work, and holy it looks amazing
Wow 73.1K subscribers already! I remember when it was only a couple hundred. Way to go!!
Can’t wait for another awesome build!
Just rewatched this. This is by far the most impressive minecraft build I have ever seen.
This is just... incredible. People who say minecraft isn't an art form could not be any more in the wrong. This is breathtakingly beautiful, and you should be very proud of your work here. 👏 👏 👏 👏
This is phenomenal, I'm not just talking about the city itself, I would like to also show appreciation for how well this video is edited. The shots, angles, music and pacing are all superb!
This Building looks so good !!!!!
Amazing the creativity and meaning that you have shared with the world
Du hast meinen größten Respekt für diese abnormal krasse Stadt. Du hast mich dazu inspiriert selbst mit dem bauen anzufangen. Macht weiter so
This literally is the most remarkable thing I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. You have freakish talent and patience. Wow, my mind is blown and this build makes me think we are indeed living in a simulation. The way you process this kind of magnificent complexity in your head in 3D is almost proof positive of this. Mind blown! Great job!
Mind blown glad this randomly popped up in my feed the time effort and planning you put into this is on another level and the end product absolutely stunning.
Holy crap dude 1000 hours? You devote yourself to 1 video game for 1000 hours? To make something so breathtaking and amazing. The massive patience and creativity. To you I salute you. I can’t even begin to put in 1000 hours and patience in this game.
I can't even imagine how much effort did it cost. Huge appreciation 👍
Outstandingly talented
I love how you incorporate bold dashes of color and foliage into a build that would normally be very bland, on top of the scale and variety, this is my new favorite minecraft build ive seen.
The bright blue color is actually (somewhat) historically accurate. Look up the Ishtar Gate, it's incredible. :D
Yah, the Lapis Lazuli that created the economy of Babylon. Turned what was a failing city-state into a huge Neo-Babylonian empire that conquered most of the middle-east.
ive been playing minecraft since 2011 and i still dont know how to build a nice house and then there's people like you out there
Wow, I imagined a similar city way back when, but alas i was no builder. But to see something similar come alive like this is so amazing. I’m just in awe to see your work, done all alone, with such detail! Man, if you worked as an environmental artist for a game or an MMO…my word.
