The most enormous statues that exist on our planet (10 photos)
Humanity has always created very large cultural objects. These could be buildings, bridges, and also huge sculptures. And everything was done quite well. And really, why bother with small things if you can do it on a grand scale? In this way, many huge masterpieces appeared that have survived to this day.
An architect named Kedir Amir compared the sizes of various monuments, arranging them by height. It is not even possible to compare them with the sizes of a person, because people will seem small, like bugs.
The statue of David, created by the architect Michelangelo. It is over 5 m high, including the stand
To reach its top, even two people standing on top of each other cannot do it.
Even larger monuments are the works dedicated to Luther King and the Sphinx. Their sizes are more than 9 and 20 m respectively
And even larger sizes can boast Buddha from China, as well as Shiva from India
Another statue dedicated to Shevi is located in another city. Its height is more than 37 m. A meter or two higher than it is the statue of Christ and Buddha
The 40 m mark was surpassed by the statues of Concordia, Ataturk Turkish. And of course, another statue of Buddha was found again
Even more impressive are the statues that are located on the territory of China. Their height exceeds 70 m
"The Motherland Calls!" in Volgograd (85 meters), the Big Buddha in Thailand (92 meters) and the Statue of Liberty in the USA (93 meters)
Then the place of honor is occupied by Japanese versions, the Kiev statue dedicated to the Motherland, as well as another Chinese statue of Guanyin. Their height already exceeds 100 m
And here are the leaders, in the prize places
Lezhun-Sasachzha reaches a height of 115 m. It is followed by Buddha again. Well, the most enormous is the Indian version - the Statue of Unity. Perhaps in photographs these monuments do not seem so impressive. But in reality, the person at their foot in the photograph may not even be noticed.
