I Asked 300 Minecraft Players to Build A New Middle East

This was honestly one of my favourite build sites to date, so much culture and history. It was a struggle to fit everything into the highlights alone and I'd recommend watching the full stream for this one. Thank you to everyone who took part in the build! If you'd like to join these builds, the login info you need is in the description of the video. The next build site is India!

Honestly, after the entire world is filled out, RT should release the world for free. This is the best source of cultural education I've ever seen.

When you got to Syria, I remembered a random hamster fact; hamsters were once thought to be extinct until a Syrian farmer found one in his farm, which is why the most common type of hamster is called a "Syrian hamster."

I’m loving all the builds referencing real life Islamic structures and building within the Middle East that I praise the people that took the time to build them… and then there’s the Sonic the Hedgehog History Museum

“I don’t know why the French have it, or how it got there” is just the catchphrase of anthropology/archaeology as a whole

i saw this and thought "oh boy, the middle east, i'm sure everyone will make tasteful and non controversial builds!" but there wasn't anything that really related to current events except the evergreen, props to either the community for not being tacky or the mods for doing some serious filtering of structures

I love how the servers Middle East is a legit history class while the rest of the world is just Costco, Sans and memes

The people who has the patience to build those massive ships, just wow!

As soon as I saw this video my immediate thought was ‘’i can’t wait to watch Dan struggle to pronounce words the entire time’’

These videos are basically history classes with all the books lying around.

I'm so happy they finally got to my region! I was kinda scared they'd just skip over it because of how controversial the middle east obviously is but props to rt and the mods for actually dealing with all that

god this was so cute and respectful. as someone who has a decent interest in middle eastern history (i dont know much but its very interesting) this entire area was done very well!

I can't believe I just watched someone mispronounce words for 20 minutes and absolutely loved it

RT just has the loveliest community. The New World builds are always super educational and showcase tons of skill - even the more memey builds will show at least some love care and effort put into them!

As someone from the Middle-East, I hope your moderators are doing ok because this probably had at least some hiccups here and there considering the... location. Edit: Greetings from Lebanon btw, watched the vid, really liked the builds and the respect the players showed for everything in general. The bit about the olives made me a bit emotional since my family on the paternal side used to be small farmers and artisans in Yafa, the soap industry there especially was famous all throughout the Middle-East, but they had to run away in the 30's due the the general unrest and troubles with the British.

I love this builds so much. Not only do we see a lot of amusing and cute builds, but a chance for people to show off and be proud of their own cultures. There are GOOD people everywhere in the world and it sad that they can get so overshadowed by the bad things that happen. I love seeing the builds dedicated to real world monuments and learning about them even just in these little snippets here.

Mods must have been on high alert for this one

i know it's probably a small thing, but i really appreciate how RT doesn't make a joke of pronunciations of other languages, he just does his best and apologizes for any mispronunciations.. i know it might seem small, but.. so many people make jokes or make fun of other languages for different reasons so i'm really appreciative of RT <3

Wow, can't believe there weren't any builds about modern stories and war. It is wholesome in some way. European and American builds were just dank and chaotic and i loved it, but this is is just like a trip to a museum, and this is awesome.

I love how half the video is just rt reading various documents about the Middle East
