The biggest hotel in the world is in Saudi Arabia. It has 10,000 rooms, 4 helipads and it can accomodate 30,000 guests

I don’t see a way to walk off the helipads? How do you get inside from there?

A hidden hatch in the floor? They keep them closed so that they don't whistle in the wind? ;)

DOG TRAVOIS. Travois were hauled by dogs before horses started appearing on the Northern Plains by the late 1600s. Horses, named “elk dogs” or “big dogs” by some tribes, could carry more weight, thus allowing larger tipis for nomadic tribes. Horses also revolutionized hunting and warfare techniques.
The elderly woman, perhaps a Lakota Sioux named Red Thunder, reportedly held the staff of her husband, Little Bull, and posed in her best regalia.
A finely-crafted miniature buffalo was on the dog’s back. What appeared to be a dead skunk was in the travois. Dating from about 1910-20 or so, the photo by Frank Fiske of Fort Yates (ND) was found at the Buffalo Bill Museum.

Prehistoric Needles from Siberia:
In a cave above the Inya River’s middle reaches, scientists discovered 20,000-year-old sewing needles. Not only are they sharp enough to perforate thick animal hides, they possess a needle “eye,” to thread the needle and sew.

The R-1 won the 1932 Thompson Trophy race, piloted by Jimmy Doolittle. He lapped all but one ship in the race, made easy turns and never had to come down and make a tight pylon turn. He also set a new F.A.I. world landplane speed record of 296 mph (476 km/h) in the Shell Speed Dash.
The distinction of a landplane record was noteworthy because, at that time, racing seaplanes outran landplanes, such as the then current speed record holder, a Supermarine S.6B which had averaged 407.5 mph (655.8 km/h) on September 1931 The Gee Bee Model R Super Sportster was a special-purpose racing aircraft made by Granville Brothers Aircraft of Springfield, Massachusetts at the now-abandoned Springfield Airport. Gee Bee stands for Granville Brothers.

A woman on the frozen Mississippi River at St. Louis, Missouri, 1905.
That is amazing that as far south as St. Loius, the river was frozen on the surface to allow one to walk across.

I saw an ancient marvels show or something like that which said Mussolini exploited the discovery to promote his brand of fascism.

Pioneer entrepreneurs with a gusto to go West followed the gold rush north to Alaska and Canada in the 1890s. They built hotels, restaurants, general stores and saloons such as the Magnet House near Dawson, Yukon Territory, to serve the voracious needs of the Klondikers and sourdoughs.

It seems like it's seriously hard-core to go someplace that cold, but that probably means less competition.
