Hey, malicious life listeners, a quick word before we begin.

We've released about 30 episodes in 2019

out of a total of 70 episodes in the podcast so far,

and that's quite a lot of episodes and sometimes with such a wealth of

available options it's difficult to choose what to listen to first especially if you're a new listener. To make things a bit easier, we added a

page to our website with a list of some of our favorite episodes of 2019. So if you're a new listener or if you wish to recommend the podcast to a friend,

this might be a good place to start. Check out malicious. life slash read.

Welcome to a new decade of malicious life podcast in collaboration with Cyberizan. I'm Ran Levy. Today we'll be hearing about

Buildings and structures connected to other structures

interwine with other structures and endless steel pipes running in every which way.

How anybody thought to build such a convoluted thing

and how anybody actually understands what it's all for is frankly beyond me.

Petro-Rabe is one of these giant labyrinth plants.

It's located on Saudi Arabia's west coast right along the Red Sea, just off the halfway point between Mecca and Medina.
