It's even more impressive, right? More like building on the sea, wasn't it?

It's reclaiming the sea. Build big dykes to cut off a piece of sea from the rest. Pomp water out. You now have new land.

Yeah, that's why I'm saying they didn't build on a swamp! They made swamp

They created a giant swamp, then built on that.
