"With its top in the heavens...lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the Earth." God came down to see what they did and said: "They are one people and have one language, and nothing will be withholden from them which they purpose to do." So God said, "Come, let us go down and confound their speech." And so God scattered them upon the face of the Earth, and confused their languages, and they left off building the city, which was called Babel "because God there confounded the language of all the Earth." (Genesis 11:5-8).

"Thy soul shall find itself alone
'Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone;
Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy.

Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness- for then
The spirits of the dead, who stood
In life before thee, are again
In death around thee, and their will
Shall overshadow thee; be still."

Spirits Of The Dead - Edgar Allan Poe

Btw, the HooverDam & PanamaCanal seems to have been considered for integration by Firaxis in early design steps as proven by their Icons in the 4th row of the usual WonderAtlas.DDS file!

Hey there, I noticed you have done a lot of .dds work with the Civ V files in these forums. How do you manage to extract the icons from wonderatlas.dds? I managed to extract most of the icons using nexus to translate the assets to the resource folder, then unpacked them. But the issue is, the Civ DDS Unpacker does not unpack all of the DDS files. Do you know what the issue is here? If not, do you know who does? I've search everywhere with no results...

Also, I've seen some of the icons in resolutions up to 800x800 pixels on the web, where could those have possibly come from?
