Reminds me of that Atlantropa plan. The idea was to drain most of the Mediterranean sea to create new land between Europe and Africa. Some German guy came up with it in the 1920s and spent like 20 years trying to convince people it’s a great idea and totally doable. Unfortunately everyone was busy with other stuff back then…

Honestly it was a crazy plan but it probably could have been accomplished. It would have been a fuck ton of work and had immeasurable externalities.
