so… the world’s tallest statue is really a culture war between USSR communism and buddhism?
12. Height: 72 m (236 ft)
Name: Great Standing Maitreya Buddha
Location: Emei Township, Hsinchu County,” Taiwan”
That last one has four photographs, but only the first two are related to the same statue. Look at the pedestals and chinese inscriptions and you will see three statues, not one.
what about the jesus statue in brazil?
nevermind its only 39.6m… wow these other ones are huge.
