#2 If I were a Persian I'd set up my own hell hole in the desert, with rides, water, rocks and a real artificial black boulder. Maybe wymens, it would be yuuuuuuuuge and a golf course of course, A Marina? Hell yes! What do you mean? Liquid, hell my friend there's 7 million Jooooooooos an hours flight away! They can make water out of sand AND THEIR BOOKKEEPING SKILLZ, hell you want liquid? I'll bring you an Ocean! No moron, it won't look bad, we'll play it like the running of the Bullz in Pamplona Alabama. People will pay to watch and beg to participate. Easy peasy.
