I suspect this number is inflated for the purpose of showing off the kingdom's or the religion's wealth and power.

  To me and I assume most Westerners it looks like an egregious excess while poverty is rampant. At least space projects produce trickle-down technology, but this is just busy-work.

    It's literally a building, nothing justifies that cost... where are the death ray lasers? Where is the re-atomizer? Makes no sense, the figure must be wrong

        Farming jobs provide poverty like lifestyles, building jobs provide relatively middle class lifestyles. You need both to keep a modern society going.
