In the building of mount Rushmore many ancient figure carvings were destroyed, the mountain is still heavily carved with designs of animals, and other humanoid figures

Decebal statue it’s the very much real and astonishing size,every time when I’m going home (Romania)and have the possibility to go and visit it I am more than happy reviewing it and each time I’m seeing it can’t help myself to not feeling proud for the fact that I’m Romanian🥰🤗

Some one says 2000 years ago and u literally done t question that???? I bet u believe in aliens and that’s there’s an infinite galaxy too right???? His/story is a lie told by the victors. First power tool according to the narrative, was 1890’s or so, and you think 2000 years or anything past 200 years was build by what???? A million slaves with super chiseling and super group strength and time to do those magnificent pieces of work. Check out the world fairs buildings….. and then how “we” just destroyed them because they were for the fairs only. Here’s a clue for you: you know when they tell us how everything was being invented and more inventions of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, they weren’t inventing anything, it was being rediscovered, reintroduced, and Most of All , being Repurposed…… U think they built those “asylums” originally for crazy people??? Cathedrals and most gov buildings across the world. Don’t believe a story about characters. There’s our true creator and that’s it

Your attitude is commendable. But your writing leaves a lot to be desired. Is it that much trouble to type y and o before u ? When many people start doing this, the language will suffer and eventually the people will suffer by becoming gradually more and more ignorant. When the public is sufficiently ignorant, they become easy to manipulate and abuse. Your small contribution to preventing this is to spell out words when you are writing, use capitals, where required, and proper punctuation. And if you know any big words... use them!

They weren't carved from anything at all, actually. They are made from clay poured into moulds, with standardized bodies and faces often based on individuals but sometimes being interchangeable as well. They had a assembly line going, which is how they were able to achieve this feat. Still, they are amazing, and I think they're not even all excavated yet.

Excellent v very nice

Mount Rushmore the most famous destructive graffiti ever created…

TOURISM DESTROYES NOTHING LEFT UNTOUCHED

How could you not put the terra cotta warriors in this list, they have a great story line, better than a lot of these.

wow amazing

The #15 should be top among top 5…

Also, Saudi Arabia has incredible rock sculptures Named Hegra (Mada'in Salih). You have to put it at least one of the top five

Very interesting video. I am confused however by the places where they have broken statues why they don't at least put the pieces back in place.

Temple of notch

180 ft high? Is that the size of the sculpture or, is it from it's top down to the river? I need clarification. In picky that way.

How could you show Rushmore and ignore Crazy Horse, which is so large that all four presidents of Rushmore would fit under his arm?

Because it's Native American. 🤷😕

The Easter Island statues, When Thor Heyerdahl went there in 1955 he asked the islanders how the statues got to their positions he was told they walked there. He dismissed this as a myth. However researchers have looked at this answer and discovered that they possibly did. There were no logs for rollers but there was material to make fibre ropes. If ever you've moved say a fridge freezer you will know it can be walked by leaning it and rocking it. It was discovered that it was possible to do the same with the statues by attaching ropes around the necks. This also explains why some statues not in their final positions are erect.

The only known familial connect between Queen Nefertiti and Pharaoh Tutankhamen is her being his stepmother at best. She was the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten who was confirmed to be Tuts biological father after DNA tests were done. Her mummy however has never been officially discovered so no DNA tests have been done. Further DNA tests show the mummy known as The Younger Lady to be his true mother and is not believed to be Queen Nefertiti due to this mummy also being his aunt. Nefertiti was not a known daughter of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and Queen Ti

Please visit Bandhavgarh you see one more biggest sculpture in Middle on National park

And now imagine some are no sculputures but petrified beeings.
