The Statue of Liberty Disappeared Once And Other Secrets You Didn’t Know

The Statue of Liberty was created by the French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi. It took over $500,000 to build the Statue and the pedestal. In today’s money that’s about $10,000,000. The original plan was to get it ready by 1876, but the construction process turned out to be so complicated it took way longer than planned. The Statue arrived from France on June 17, 1885, in over 300 separate copper pieces.
Btw, did you know that the Statue of Liberty nearly didn’t get built, and it could have ended up in Boston? In 1983, it disappeared for a few moments. And it hasn’t always been green. And although she’s a statue, Lady Liberty doesn’t always stand still! Let’s take a look at the secrets of the most popular landmark in the world. Here are a few interesting facts you may not have known about the Statue of Liberty.

The statue was ment to be a lighthouse and was gifted to Egypt, well they didn't want it. So the designer redesigned and gave it to the united states. So she was regifted

[@sunlessartist125]

The statue wasn’t gifted to Egypt. France asked Egypt if they wanted a statue. They showed an drawing of the statue with slightly different details. Egypt didn’t want it because they thought it was too old fashioned. America wanted one with different details to outline the freedom of America. Paris made it and sent it to America

[@kalinagoheyokaempathyindig76]

Statue of liberty was a gift from France and was always on liberty island there are 4 mind boggling mandela effects about the statue of liberty!

[@judyweikumbenson199]

When I went to see the Statue of Liberty, I was so glad they were reconstructing her. We were able to go up all the stairs without a crowd! Knowing the truth about how and why makes the Statue of Liberty more special to me.

[@nandanapradeep6119]

I always doubted that if the statue of liberty is copper then earlier it must be reddish brown and after that it changed to green due to the formation of copper oxide ,and now it is clear for me 👍😅
well thank you❤️
