Civilization IV Wonder: Spiral Minaret

[Kemonokami]

Millions of Muslim pilgrims continue to visit this sacred site to see how far down the spiral stairs that their Slinkies go.

[Samwd1]

would be funny if a man in a sack went down the spiral shouting WEEEEEEEEEE

[steven1098s]

Great Video, 5 Stars for you!

[coolsims94]

Nice Vid..thanks...never was able to see the spiral minaret being built in this game cuz all the other civs would build it first! ugh :(

[GudMuzlim786]

Nice, I believe this minaret is in Samarra, Iraq.

[steven1098s]

@GudMuzlim786 It is.

[Sesquame]

That looks like every tower I've built in Minecraft

[OttomanTotalWar]

That Minaret exists or existed before the US invasion of Iraq "to bring democracy".

It is 1100 years old and 50 meters high.

[Infernox1320]

You can't even see the workers.

[Samwd1]

that actually could be the worlds best spiral slide

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­E

[SirianKings]

The minaret looks as if it's made out of Pillsbury dough.

[GFedFan]

This video gave me vertigo.

[meleeandbrawllord]

Thanks for these videos. But I don't think those sticks at the bottom would help if it fell over.

Sorry, I'm not having a go at you. But thanks for this!

[srry4beatinu]

i know what you mean. like you only know what someone who lived hundereds if not thousands of years later wrote or believed. i think it would be awesome to see it all personally over the millenia, you know? thats why i like to play civilization games. it might not be historicaly accurate, but you can make your own history.

[Nationalist83833]

description got it wrong, u get 2 gold for all state religion buildings

[RorshachsJournal]

Can't wait for CIV V! :D

[musiclifeshirley]

I am doing a research on ancient civilizations and i am really new at this....so is there anyone that knows where cn i ask questions or obtained answers??

[srry4beatinu]

@musiclifeshirley the world wide web man, lol. try google. try a virtual encyclopedia, i dont know. are you in highschool doing a project? if so we are both in trouble.

[musiclifeshirley]

@srry4beatinu no..it is nothing like that..me and my friends kinda have a problem studying history and my dad suggest i do some research..write a story out of it and maybe we can absorb better..it is pretty hard to write a story out of ancient civilization if you only know what is in the textbook. So...

[BLARGHALT]

What does it say about me as a gamer when I saw this and instantly thought of Super Mario Bros 3?

[moksheebs]

@BLARGHALT why SMB3?

[GanonsBeautifulface]

You do realize it is obselete with Computers?

[Nonamearisto]

They should have included St. Mark's Basilica in Venice too.

[TheAnderson1996]

Where is this at? I think it may be in Baghdad

[TomBombadil37]

For some reason memory tells me it is in southern Spain. I think it was a Moorish addition.

[belegSJ]

Nope, it is in Iraq. Not in Baghdad but in a city called Samarra. :P

[pochosan]

Nop. It's in Samarra (Irak).

[moffbombadil]

No, it is located in Samarra, Iraq. While there certainly are a lot of old Moorish minarets in Spain, this is not one of them.

By the way, nice name.

[FaakedLillebror]

Yes... it is...

[Kra7as]

@TheAnderson1996

It's in the city of Samarra, north to Baghdad. This minaret is just 10 minutes away from my house.

[shd108]

And then it became a level in Super Mario Bros. 3.

[s90Jimmys90]

why do u want to record it if its already posted on youtube?

[Anthonyk312]

you don't need to know

[blackmon1996]

Round and Round that thing went.

[Kemonokami]

Warship Angelus and 8394147: Fail.

[pawner999999999]

wesleybrown i think your right

[wesleybrown10]

haha looks like a sand castle

[8394147]

My friend is stationed in Samarra, Iraq right now (fuck Bush) and he said he drives past this thing everyday!

[Darkgrammer]

Everything on YouTube has to be a political statement it can never be something good like "oh hey thanks for the video I really enjoyed that or coo vid 5 stars" no people like you come here and cum all over YouTube with your political rants.

I hate Bush as much as the next fellow but please the "I HATE BUSH!!1121" shit is getting old.

[8394147]

Um... actually, tool, you're wrong. Shut up. My friend does drive past the Spiral Minaret everyday and if you don't like it, you can eat a dick.

[Darkgrammer]

How ingenoius you use the word "tool", no I am not questioning you authenticity of your friends driving past anything. I am merely regarding that you slipped in that "fuck bush" in there, as if we weren't tired of the same old subliminal political rants that people drive on every fucking day on you tube. I could sit here an argue with you but I have better things to do.

[8394147]

I'm allowed to say Fuck Bush if I want to. Bush is the reason my friend passes the Spiral Minaret on his way to risk his life everyday instead of being at home with his family and his girlfriend. So why don't you stop bitchin' like a little baby. Save it for someone who cares.

[Darkgrammer]

*Yawn.

[MON1451]

Hahaha. It is such a pity and wonder how a ignoramous combined with a smart, wisecracking indvidual can make a hilarious arguement. I have no dislikings, but, I just find it oddly funny. ;)

[WarshipAngelus]

Just to tell you know every president since George Washingon has been a FreeMasion, so when the next Guy or Girl becames President, nothing is really going to change much. Life and History always repect itself only things changes is the faces and names.

[ficlbow]

not all presidents are freemasons

[AqworldsWiki]

@Darkgrammer What does the former President of the United States of America have to do with a Civilization 4 video?

[WoundedKite]

Why is he not allowed to say this? I thought that concept was what America was founded upon? Besides he's right, and Samarra is one of the most beautiful feats of architecture there is (in the real world, not just videogames), there's real symbolism here.

[wedgiepower]

This is my favorite civilization video.
