when America is totally destroyed I hope this thing still exists, I hope its there for 2000 years. it might be a cringe and libtarded statue but I feel it embodies raw powah. our age cannot summon something like this anymore.

>Egypt Carrying the Light to Asia, also known as Progress Carrying the Light to Asia, was a plan for a colossal neoclassical sculpture. Designed in the late 1860s by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the project was to be a statue of a robed female Saeid Misr or "Upper Egyptian" bearing a torch at the entryway of the Suez Canal in Port Said, Egypt.[1][2] >The idea for a statue on the mouth of the Suez was inspired by Bartholdi's encounter with ancient Egyptian giant statuary at Abu Simbel.[3] Bartholdi further researched the ancient Colossus of Rhodes (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, >After the failure of the Egyptian project, Bartholdi recycled his design as Liberty Enlightening the World, better known as the Statue of Liberty, which was installed in the New York Harbor in 1886.[3]

Somehow this led me into an hour long Wikipedia rabbit hole on the overseas territories of France and the Catalan independent movement. Anyway assuming some performance artist doesn’t blow it up I hope it lives a long happy future in some Chinese museum

@augustus btw they almost had it dissolve in the 80s already, it's super high maintenance because of galvanic corrosion between the mixed metals in the humid salty air.

@ic3l9 if they build the same thing now what material could they use that would be more durable? 3d print the whole thing with extruded plastic? the funkopop of liberty?
