Fun fact: the Statue of Liberty wouldn’t be scared because the Statue of Liberty was made in France.

Ha ha true 😂
The Statue of Liberty is in America

So was Louis XVI
As for the glass dome over Manhattan, it would likely trap pollution, require maintenance, and cleaning. In the Winter, snow would accumulate on the top, causing strain on the structure, thus requiring removal of said snow.
Wow, that is very true I never even thought of that. If it was me I would have built that and so many problems would have went along with it.
Not to mention.. it would act like a giant magnifying glass...
If it was a true dome, and held heat under it, it would almost never accumulate snow. Think of a metal roof.
@@dwaynewilliams3077 they meant glass tho and not sure but there is a chance that natural elements could break the glass.
@@dwaynewilliams3077 What about a greenhouse effect under it?
Love all the little animations, like the egypt statue rolling its eyes, the birds crashing into the Burj Khalifa, the Mascot shaking its head etc 👍

The “fun fact” at 3:37 isn’t true, as Benjamin Franklin actually proposed an image of Moses as the National Seal, not a turkey. The myth came from a letter he sent to his daughter, Sarah Franklin Bache, commenting on how the bald eagle is “a bird of bad moral character…” and contrasting it with the turkey, which, according to him, “is in comparison a much more respectable bird…”.
Be amazed should be on the mountain because I find their videos comforting and fun to watch. I like learning new things
Being French, I think it would have been nice to have a huge elephant statue.
C’est pas une statue mais à nantes on a un éléphant géant en bois « un robot » qui déambule dans la ville est arrose les gens avec ça trompe on peut même payer pour monter dedans 😂😂
Does Europe have elephants?? 🤔
@@Abhishek-zq7ur Only in Zoos, Elephants come from Africa and Asia.
@@kiwitrainguy thats what i thought!! in our culture elephants are indispensable 🐘🥰
I know a lot of French, but I'm American. Salut.
The Eiffel Tower was supposed to be temporary. It was slated to be disassembled after a few years. So many people liked it, that it became permanent.
When it was finished, the French actually found it to be a "monstrous-like structure" in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. During the World Expo, overwhelmingly positive reviews about the tower from the international community made the French change their mind. That's when they decided to embrace it! 😁
Sounds like how the drug war was sold to us.
One Parisian hated it so much that he always ate his lunch at the restaurant on the first level of the Eiffel Tower because that was the one place in Paris where he didn't have to look at it.
And it became one of the most visited landmark and the icon of Paris or France.
The rejection of Mount Rushmore is sexist
These designs are literally as crazy as my dog
I LOVE UR VIDS SO MUCH. My class watches you! :DD

That black taj mahal sounds beautiful! Wow
Exactly what I was thinking!!! I think someone should build it as a reference to what could have been. 🤓🥳
Wouldn't have looked nearly as impressive
I want John F. Kennedy on mount rushmore.
I completely agree with that he was a amazing president
I guess you suddenly realized there are no Democrats on Mount Rushmore 😂
3:52 means The Elephant Of Triomohe
About TAJ MAHAL
it was true that the Shah Jahan wanted a black Taj Mahal but the truth is actually the taj resides near the river so to the opposite he wanted to build a plain park where he can see the black impression from the river on full moon day. So it's actually just a shadow of Taj Mahal on river during full moon day. This was concluded by Indian architects because after many years of research they was unable to find the black stone piece and any sign of construction to the opposite of taj
👍
The imprint of the black Taj Mahal can be seen on Google maps just across the river from the actual Taj Mahal.
Omg
I always knew Mount Rushmore's bodies were never completed bc the stone was too soft and kept crumbling- time could have also played a part but that was a huge problem on its own
Actually, they just gave up after the designer died and money ran out. Roosevelt is only on there because he was President at the time, and a friend of the designer. There was also supposed to be a congressional library that included the original Declaration.
George Floyd should absolutely be added.
They were gonna decide the Declaration of independence In the secret room that was supposed to be there Behind the rocks or whatever
12:51 that water 💀

The original London Bridge is currently in Lake Havasu AZ
Is it as boring as the current bridge in London!!!
@@hackman669 it was brought over brick by brick and reassembled. It's nothing spectacular but definitely better than the new London Bridge
@@michaelpomato45 So in the olden day Merica couldn't build it so they bought it from Britain.
@@hackman669 The 1831 London Bridge was the last project of engineer John Rennie and was completed by his son, John Rennie.[4] By 1962, it was not sturdy enough to carry the increased load of traffic; the bridge was sold by the City of London in April 1968 to make way for its replacement.[5]
The purchaser, Robert P. McCulloch, was an entrepreneur and real estate developer who founded Lake Havasu City. He installed the bridge to attract tourists and retirement home buyers to his properties there.
17:00 44 presidents have lived in the White House. George Washington never lived there, and only 45 people have been president, as Grover Cleveland is the 22nd and 24th president due to his two non-consecutive terms
18:40
The Burj Khalifa might have been named Burqa Khalifa with that long fabric.
Burj is the arabic word for tower, son!
I love your videos I’m so happy to be in the world to work watch and love all
9:37 "September 11, 2001, was a dark day for New York city" It was a dark day for America as a whole.
NO, THE WORLD.

I always figured Mt. Rushmore was still unfinished even today. Good video I learned a lot about monuments I never knew.
Just imagine if Dwayne Johnsons face was on it as well
Wasn't bad enough that they Illegally seized the land from Native Americans of the Black Hills, executed them by the masses, stole the land, and then carved 4 dead white guys on it. Not to mention that Burgois worked and was funded by the KKK. America is really proud of their slave and pillage history.
I didn't know about them wanting to add more to Mount Rushmore. I'm glad they didn't. It's perfect the way it is.
Imagine Nicolas cage on Mount Rushmore
it was always unfinished, Jefferson's face should have been first then Washington
I think they should’ve added Alexander Hamilton
Id like to add rick astley into mount rushmore
George Floyd should absolutely be added.
No the rock and among us
The 4 people of new Rushmore: Rick Astley , the rock, George Floyd and, amongus
10:40 I remember seeing one submission with five towers, each of a different height. Each was arranged to look like a hand giving the middle finger, and was angled to face the direction that the leader of the attack was at during the fateful event.
I remember that as well

😂😂😂 bro misspelled Lincoln
The reason why Tower bridge is not that thing, is because in the 19 century road traffic stoping was less important

Ah yes, people go there to chop their heads off! What a great landmark
P.S if that was actually the design, I’ll go chop me head off

Really excellent work. As an old historian, I find it wonderful that you make all of your articles fun and as factual as possible. Nicely done. Keep it up.
it's one of the few lists chanels that is not outright bullshit.
THAT'S The New York City 🗽🏛️🕍⛪🕌🏯
Historian yet you think it's okay to call him a bigot ? She wasn't a president or a founder so sully his name even more than Americans already have?
Norman Foster (10:16): I'm a Brit with a soft spot for Norman Foster's designs since I lived for some years in Ipswich UK, very close to his first famous project, the Willis Faber building. Although some people considered Sir Norman's use of reflective dark glass to be "soulless", it has been described as flowing "like a pancake in a pan" in a site with few natural straight lines, as the reflections and internal glimpses changed seamlessly day and night, sometimes catching the internal structure of the building, other times making one aware of passing cars by night or the glimpses of blue sky and other architecture by day.
I was fascinated by this even before I knew he was a big-name architect, just from standing outside it and seeing how it played with light and the opposing concepts of internal and external. I'd advise giving a Norman Foster project time to "grow into" its environment as the other finished works have.
I love the idea of a dark Taj Mahal reflecting the sorrowing widower's feeling that the light of his life has gone.
And there’s 49 Presidents in a parallel universe.
Fun fact: there’s a Abraham Lincoln statue in England
This was one of your best videos. I truly enjoyed it and learned quite a few new things.
Awesome, thank you!
I love your vids and learn alot from your bids your iq must be over 9000
I love ur videos thank u so much for making awesome Continent
Yes a continet
Speech 100
Speaking of architecture, I found a sword that has a glass blade in the basement. I told my dad about it, he said it was a gift from his brother, uncle Chris.
17:03 Actually, it was home to 44 presidents, as Washington never lived in the White House, and Grover Cleveland lived there for two non consecutive terms.
It’s funny because the French built the Statue of Liberty and gave it to us as a gift
what
OHHH i thought you said the french gave america the eiffel tower not the statue of liberty
@@heyheyheizou yes the famous American Eiffel Tower
the statue of liberty was a gift from France to America straight up im pretty sure, then again i could be wrong but i learned in school that it was a thank you gift for us helping them
No, you're right. I recently got asked if someone were to steal the statue of liberty, would America go get it again.
You're correct. 😊
You are correct
The supporting structure of that statue was also designed by Eiffel. Who later designed a certain tower. Which originally was supposed to be deconstructed and taken down again...
@@arvidblomberg9248 yeah wasn't it just built for a fair n was supposed to take it down after
Why is the thumbnail so funny to me xD
wow, that elephant reminds me of Le Miz the book (it has been some years since 4th grade so I may not remember things correctly). There was an elephant statue that was abandoned and Gavrosh (not sure if that's the correct spelling) was living there.
According to a history channel show I watched. When the statue of liberty came to America a lot of Americans did NOT like the statue they thought it was ugly and just not very American. There was more to it but I can't remember it all.
One man doesn’t speak for all Americans. I love it!!
@@mikebentley4832 indeed
Also mount rushmore is a literral middle finger to the native americans
Because that mountain is a part of their culture there is a myth about how the ancestors of the natives emerge from that very mountain
The natives intended the faces of their 4 heroes to be on the mountain instead but then well you probably know what happened
Fun fact the statute of liberty is French and a gift from France to the United States. Built by Eiffel. She has a smaller duplicate not far from the Eiffel tower on the Seine River in Paris. Also Eugene Mercier the founder of the famous champagne had an ego far larger than the tower when he built a massive champagne barrel to compete in the world fair. It has to be dragged by 24 Oxen from champagne with several villages removed along the way. This barrel a larger than life personality can be witnessed in a fun tour of the Mercier champagne house in Epernay France.
La statue de la liberté come from Colmar near Strasbourg in the north east of France
Also don't say random shit when u dont know anything, cuz it has been build by Bartholdi who was born in colmar
Eiffel designed the structural components of the statue. He was the premier archotect of his day. Bartholdi designed the statue's exterior.
Those sights are very impressive
Susan b should most definitely be put on the mt rushmore also maybe even martin luther king tbh they both need yo be on rushmore they both signify 2 very big events in the usa
I think Christopher Lee would be the PERFECT addition to mount Rushmore
Inasmuch as it would have been more expensive, I would have preferred the initially proposed design of the Washington monument. That to me would have been more interesting.
Like the Parthenon when it was build it had a roof etc.
Amazing content!
Thanks for the pics of the Tower Bridge under construction. I had never seen any .
I love watching your videos they brighten my day
10:50 just connect all five towers and they would have created a tic tac toe board
Shrek was born in an unknown swamp where he lived with his parents as a child. His father tried to eat him and his mother never gave him so much affection and his parents abandoned Shrek when he was 8 years old because it was an "Ogre Tradition". Shrek tried to be accepted by the people but failed because they believed him that he was a "horrible beast", so Shrek finds a swamp who becomes his home but is presumably who sometimes people attack his swamp despite being all times scares by Shrek and they run away. Shrek so lived a solitary life.
Shrek annoyed by Donkey's singing. In the first film, Shrek is shown as a recluse who lives a fairly carefree life in his swamp. At first, he appears to like being by himself and enjoys scaring people, but not hurting them. Even though his background is unknown, it is assumed that most ogres hurt people, but Shrek isn't violent.
One day in the forest, a talking Donkey enters Shrek's territory pursued by a group of knights. The head knight orders Shrek to be arrested, but Shrek effortlessly scares them off and saves Donkey. A grateful Donkey thanks Shrek repeatedly (to the latter's irritation) and convinces him to spend the night outside of Shrek's house. However, more fairy tale creatures soon arrive and begin to overcrowd his swamp. Shrek demands to know why they have come and learns that Lord Farquaad has dumped them all there. Outraged, Shrek takes Donkey and goes to his castle to demand his swamp back.
Upon arriving at Farquaad's castle in Duloc, he defeats every knight in a contest to determine who will rescue Princess Fiona. When he wins, this intrigues Farquaad and he cuts a deal with Shrek: If he rescues his princess, he will give Shrek's swamp back. Shrek agrees and the duo set out once again to the dark castle Fiona is locked away in, guarded by a fire-breathing Dragon. But first, Shrek and Donkey have to cross the only rope bridge to the castle hanging precariously over a lake of lava. Once inside, Shrek orders Donkey to find stairs because the princess will be in the highest room of the tallest tower while Shrek himself searches for the Dragon. Unfortunately, Donkey inadvertently finds the dragon, and Shrek is forced to fight it, only to be flung by its tail right through the roof of the tallest tower. While Donkey keeps the dragon occupied, Shrek meets Princess Fiona for the first time and leaves with her in tow. After they rescue Donkey and escape from the castle, Fiona insists that Shrek take his helmet off, and is repulsed by the fact that Shrek is an ogre. Shrek appears not to care and takes Fiona by force to Farquaad. As nightfall approaches, Fiona demands they stop for the night, but secludes herself in a cave for reasons unknown. That night, Shrek and Donkey bond while stargazing, and Shrek confides in Donkey that he chooses to live alone because most people (except Donkey) prefer to fear and stereotype him rather than try to get to know him. The next day, the trio continue to Duloc and encounter the Merry men, where Fiona reveals her impressive martial arts skills. After the fight, Fiona notices an arrow in Shrek's butt and orders Donkey to find a blue flower with red thorns just to get rid of him. Despite some difficulty, Fiona manages to remove the arrow and they continue their journey. Throughout the rest of the trip back to Farquaad, Fiona warms up to Shrek and Donkey and Shrek begins to fall in love with Fiona. However, when bringing her a flower that evening after stopping to camp at an old mill, Shrek overhears Fiona talking to Donkey about how no one could love an ugly monster. Shrek thinks she's talking about him and enraged and hurt, he goes and brings Farquaad and his knights to take her to his castle. As promised, Shrek gets his swamp back and he is by himself once again. However, Shrek is still not happy, so after an intense argument, he apologizes to Donkey, with the latter convincing Shrek to get Fiona back. They take Dragon (whom Donkey started a relationship with) to Lord Farquaad's palace. Shrek crashes their wedding and confesses to Fiona that he loves her. At first, Fiona tells him that he's too late and prepares to kiss Farquaad. However, the sun begins to go down, and Fiona transforms into an ogre too, surprising Shrek and making him realizes what he heard at the windmill. However, Farquaad is disgusted with her now and orders her and Shrek arrested. As the guards grab them, Shrek finds himself overwhelmed, but manages to summon Donkey and Dragon. They burst through the stained glass windows of the church and Dragon eats Farquaad, killing him.
Shrek and Fiona kiss, breaking her curse, but permanently turning her into an ogre. Fiona is still unsure about herself, but Shrek assures Fiona he still thinks she's beautiful, and they get married. The story ends with Shrek and Fiona's wedding and going off in an onion carriage on their way to their honeymoon..
For once I needed this
That's alot
19:35 that hurts!

Another wonderful video from you!
One of the entries in the contest to design a Vietnam War Memorial in D.C. was a giant boot. That's it. Just a boot.
French sculptor Paul Landowski is the artist who sculpted Christ the redeemer in Rio, it was in collaboration with civil engineer Heitor da Silva Costa and architect and sculptor Gheorghe Leonida.
Truth be told, the one who needs to be immortalized on Mount Rushmore is the little animated character on this channel. Seriously, he's too adorable 🥺😂
FIRST!!
Isn't he the dude 😎!! Love him!!
This was actually a really fun and interesting video to watch! Right from the start to the end... love the graphics and funny commentary... Brilliant editing and fast and non boring info. Look forward to learning more by subscribing! Great job!
7:40 someone I would choose to be on that monument would be Ulysses Grant, because he was once the most famous person in the world.
They halted construction of the Washington Monument is also why the stone is a different shade of white partway up, as they couldn't use the original material anymore
As a South Carolinian the building at 17:32 is the Historic Charleston County Courthouse which was a Hoban design admired by Washington. It was originally the colonial era capitol building and was rebuilt after a fire with the hope of being the State Capitol which ended up being moved to Columbia anyway (a middle-of-the-state compromise city). That intersection of Meeting/Broad St is called "the four corners of the law" because the four historic buildings represent City, County/State, Federal, and Church/Canon law.
Fun Fact: One of the original designs of the Seattle Space Needle included a glass dome at the very top. We would’ve called it “The Seattle Space Dome”
Thank you Be Amazed for your amazing video always amaze
Thank you for the research and the audio-visual work. Professionally done and educational.
*"SERIOUSLY, JAMES? LET THE CHICKEN GO!!!"* 🤣🐓
NOOOO I WANT KFC!
The Lincoln memorial still looks like a Greek temple^^
They should have stayed with the traditional roof design, though. The square thing makes it look like someone built a box and stuck a ring of columns on it to cover up the box-design
23:09 Do you think that the guy on the right is the American architect seeing the winning design and crying?
To quote one of my favorite dubs ever, "Jesus wants a hug!"
Sweet vid! Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
I'm surprised you didn't mention that the actual London Bridge was moved to a small town in the state of Arizona, USA
Yup, lake havasu.

One person I want to be praised on Mount Rushmore is Adolphe Sax. He created my fav instrument The Saxophone. Pls pin this so everyone knows
Buckminster Fuller's Geodesic Dome was used as the USA Pavilion in 1967 at Montreal's World's Fair Aptly Named "Man and His World "
I woild love gigant elephant in Paris.I think word trade center as hashtag would look great. Lincoin's ziggurat with gardens on each condignation would look awesome. James Dimond's whitesouse design looks great especially that staircases. Burdge califa in reflective fabric is not good idea, just imagine vibrations made by wind blowing at it and how mutch stress would it put on the building. Manhatan dome isn't a bad idea, it reminds me of tranton from Asimovs "Foundation" the only problem is that it probably would heat too much in summer.
Would

i lov youre videos!!!!!!!!!
I would add Captain Turner, Turner for the Lusitania. He tried to save the ship

Yes, brother now you see the light. I heard they are building a monument to, I think it is, Running Bull. Anyway the monument has been under construction for years and is done by private funds of native.
Really! Washinton toothpick 22:15 --- Emotional Damage!
the original london brige dosent have that type of technology to make it move so ships could pass because the design was found years ago.
Sydney Opera House and the Bahai Temple in Delhi, which came first?
10:03 why does every new building designed these days by architects look so dam ugly?
The Harder You Work, The Luckier You Get.
The Sydney Opera House is called the Dish Rack by most of us Aussie's,because that's what it looks like,a rack of dishes sitting beside the sink.
Any documentaries on any of this any one can recommend 👌
I liked the dome. It is so brilliant that it is the future of a subdivision.
What about air supply
I think the Palmer bridge was rejected because it was unnecessarily complicated. The same goal could have been achieved using only one loop. Forcing a pre-set idea instead of following it's functionality and flow. I wish they would have built the Palmer Bridge, it's genius and very super cool, I see why he went for it!!....But placing form over function simply costs too much to build:)
Adding to the complicated design was how the sliding parts would have worked: would the controls be placed to one side of the bridge, on the banks of the Thames, or under the bridge? Regarding the London Bridge, did you know that the original bridge was sold to somebody from Arizona to construct it near his vacation home site in Lake Havasu City? Yep, that's what happened: all of the bridge was disassembled, its parts numbered, and carted off to its new site in Arizona, then reassembled using the numbered pieces.
Was a ship supposed to just stop on a dime for the other side to open up?
Love your vids
Where is the Victoria Memorial Hall? you should’ve added it, it is really interesting.
