This site taken as a whole, is much larger than all the pyramids in Egypt put together: a truly unbeliveble architectual jewel.
Has any of you ever actually been there, and witnessed it for yourselves? I would give anything to do so; but will probably never be able to afford a trip there.
In scope and scale, it even surpasses St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, and the "Yamoussoukro" cathedral - largest Christian church in the world, located in Africa - in grandeur and magnificence.
Do you agree? If not, why?

3 hrs. after posting: three very good answers so far; many thanks.
"Snow
Globe"
= thanks for your "papertoys" referral. I checked it out; and what struck me right off the bat, was how remarakably the "complete" design outline, looked like something from an extra-terrestrial landscape. You?
Can anyone who has been there, recall off the top of their head, approximately what was the total cost: airfare, hotel, guides, ground travel, etc.?
Does anyone know if it has ever been used as a setting, backdrop for a commercial film?

2nd "Add Details" posting. Just a reminder everyone: QUESTIONERS can add details after a question has been posted.
And ANSWERS can comment, after Best Answer has been chosen. This is an avenue of interaction - or rather, inter-communication(?) - that it seems like very few users take advantage off.

To choose a best answer, was terribly difficult: believe me. But I had rather choose myself, than leave in up to the general user audiecne. Some people seem to vote not out of a genuine, quality assessment, but rather some particular bias they have.
So thank you all very much, and again, it was a very difficult choice to make.
