    Many may not know that the USA's very own Statue of Liberty was originally designed to be placed not in New York but in Port Said. The ancient towering Pharaonic sculptures at Abu Simbel temple in Luxor were in fact an inspiration for Auguste Bartholdi, the statue's designer who initially had the idea of Egypt carrying the light of Asia rather than the USA's Lady of Liberty.

    I heard of this long ago, but I thought it was just a rumor.

    The original idea was that it was for Egypt though. That's what matters.

    If you were never born, then it doesn't matter what you would have been in 50 years.

    Different concept, same premise.

    BTW the statue of liberty got inspired from the Ancient Egyptian temples...doesn't that tell you anything?
