Someone wrote their name so large in the sand that it can be seen from space

Someone wrote their name so large in the sand that it can be seen from space!

The name “Hamad” is carved into the sand on the island of Al Futaisi that is just off the coast of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The etching is huge, measuring 1,000 meters tall and two miles wide. The letters are so large that they create an artificial waterway when filled with seawater. It is so large that it can b
e seen from space.

The name is for the billionaire Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan. The 63 year old is a member of the ruling family of the oil rich nation. The guy is used to living big. He built a pyramid to house his 200 cars. He had the world’s largest truck built that has a cabin large enough for 4 bedrooms.

Last but not least, he has had a motor home built shaped like the Earth at exactly one-millionth of the size of Earth. So, why not carve your name into the sand to be seen from outer space, because he can.
