A Dutch team believe they have beaten China's record for toppling the most dominoes at once.
Last year, the Chinese toppled 3,407,535 dominoes but 3,540,562 fell in Maastricht in one and a half hours.
Ninety people of various nationalities spent more then two months creating 75 designs with dominoes.
Among the designs were a western village, the Colosseum, and the bulbfields of Holland.
Organiser Robin Paul Weijers told the Haagse Courant newspaper: "It's thrilling."
Pictures of the feat were broadcast in 10 countries.
