It won't. The Burj Dubai is too damn tall, unfinished or not.

But countless generations from now, humans will rediscover it, a la Heinrich Schliemann and Troy.

They will wonder who had such hubris as to try and defy nature itself. And they will wonder who, in their presumed "Dark Age" knew so much of the world as to make islands in the image of the continents of the Earth.

And they will never know the truth. Future scholars will debate and pontificate about who those foolish men and women were, and why they thought that they could eternally defy the natural order of things.

What a bizzare, fantastic era in which we dwell. An era that shall soon be no more.
