Bill Gates Group Invests $1 Billion in Egyptian Orascom Construction Co., the builder of this giant NK pyramid.

330 METERS HIGH

​

In his paper of 12 December 2016, Jon Sharman, of the UK News INDEPENDENT, speculates as o why the lights were on at North Korea's Ryugyong Hotel, the world's tallest unoccupied building.

Three rooms at the very top of the so-called 'hotel of doom', which is still not open and has seen a number of halts in construction over 29 years, were seen to be lit up in a grainy video.

An anonymous source told NK News it might have been due to a visit to Pyongyang by Naguib Sawiris, the chief executive of Orascom. The Egyptian telecommunications company previously carried out work on the building that included adding glass panels to the outside and a phone mast.
