What would be the height of Crystal palace?

[InvaderShy 18]

As we can appreciate, the Crystal Palace could be considered the biggest structure on Equestria. But, how big is it? Is it taller than the Empire State or Burj Khalifa? Or it's just as taller as structures like Pyramid of Giza?

 

What do you think?

I would say about 2 feet high.

 

 

But in all seriousness, I'd say it's about the size of the Taj Mahal. People underestimate the size of things like the Empire State Building or the Pyramid of Giza, which were both formerly the tallest buildings in the world.

So I'm gonna go ahead and look into this. I took this frame from The Crystal Empire, Part 2 and compared the height of the entry arches to the predicted height of a pony directly underneath the arch. It's been frequently sussed out that ponies are about four feet tall, so judging by this measurement:

 

 

the arch is about 35-36ft tall. Now let's look at the height of the tower itself, looking straight at it. I've measured it to be eight times that of the arch height, like so:

 

 

This means the height of the Crystal Tower is roughly 280 feet, or 85 metres, tall. It's all approximation, though, but still a lengthy fall for Spike if he hadn't been saved :3
