Surprised there was no mention of Nelson's Column or Mt Rushmore
Mount Rushmore isn't here
Is this Rebecca?
Christ the Redeemer being commented by this idiot is painful. The jaw isn't misproportioned, it's a beard!!
There're stairs inside, a famous comedian (Didi) actually went in the 90's all the way 'til his hand to pay some promise, kiss it, throw some rose petals from it.. it was a tiny view from the helicopter camera, I mean, this statue is really huge!
was hoping to see capitoline wolf get a mention :/
Whats that movie in the statue of liberty part
maybe the german "herrmannsdenkmal" as a honorable mention
Is Stat you?
Aw, the Little Mermaid only got an honorable mention? Probably because it's so damn small compared to the giants on this list.
The Quadriga on the Brandenburger Gate should be there too. 🙁
What about William Penn atop City Hall!?
You could have included Michelangelo's Pieta but then again you could do his Top Ten Statues.
And The Thinker was originally located over the Gates Of Hell contemplating the morality and mortality of man. Just so you know.
It's not an average WatchMojo video without the simpsons.
TRASH
Christ the Redeemer better at least be in the top 3
Also
'tolerance of immigrants'
Heh, as long as they're legal
Where is the Pietà of Michelangelo? Unbelievable
What at the Pieta? Not even listed as an honorable mention!!!
How come Mount Rushmore wasn't actually in the list ?
Pieta? Not even an honorable mention?
I visited a statue that isn't quite so iconic but still impressive. It is Genghis Khan on a horse, and is the largest statue in the world of a person on horseback. It's in Mongolia, northeast of the capital city Ulaanbaatar, but it is basically in the middle of nowhere. It's quite a bit out of the way, but it was well worth it to see it, and the view from the horse's head (similar to climbing inside the Statue of Liberty).
Christ the redeemer is something amazing and it so beautiful. It is huge, besides being on top of a high montain. spetacular.
you ar the best
The easter island statues are ranked too high. Both the Statue of Liberty and statue of David should be higher.
The statue of liberty is actually a black woman who was freed, you can see the broken chains around her feet.
How could you not even mention Nelson's Column in London? HOW COULD YOU?
DON'T TURN YOUR BACK! DON'T LOOK AWAY! DON'T BLINK!!! Good Luck.
What about the Kim Jong Fatty the III statue?
Number 1 must be Statue of Liberty
Fuck tabacco
I disagree with the place the Statue of Liberty was put in
HOLY JESUS!! ENTENDERAM?…. O MEME E A ESTATUA DE JESUS.
The statue of liberty is a joke. The 42nd tallest statue in the world.
# 10 – there are twenty copies of "The Thinker' scattered around the world; one is in San Francisco (Palace of the Legion of Honor) and one in Copenhage (Glyptotek garden) He's actually contemplating the horrors of Dante's hell, being meant to be (as seen in the video) over the Gates of Hell…
I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ the Statue Of Liberty Sooooo Much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I Also ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ the Christ the Reedeemer
I Aleo Like the Great Spinks Of Giza
Statue Of Liberty
We all knew the Statue of Liberty was here
The Motherland Calls is just to remember the Soviets that died in Stalingrad and the intire war and nothing else.
