00:00Throughout history, people have erected monumental sculptures for a variety of purposes, including
00:06protection from evil, intimidation of enemies, worship of a deity, or even just to bring
00:12people together for a common purpose.
00:15The sculptures in today's movie are among the most notable examples of our shared cultural
00:21history.
00:22Specifically, they are the 15 tallest sculptures in the world.
00:28Here are 15 tallest statues in the world that you've probably never heard about.
00:34Number 15, Christ the Redeemer.
00:38Once again, he has ascended, but this time to heights that have never been seen before.
00:45It is not difficult to locate Christ the Redeemer, even if Brazil is not included on a map.
00:51Even while it is not the tallest statue in the world, it does grace the pinnacle of a
00:56mountain that is 2,300 feet tall and is located within a national park.
01:01Reinforced concrete was used in the construction of Christ the Redeemer, which is the largest
01:06Art Deco sculpture in the world.
01:09It is embellished with thousands of soapstone tiles.
01:12In the year 1850, a local priest put out the concept of creating a Christian monument to
01:18memorialize the Brazilian Regent Princess.
01:21The statue's long history begins with that year, and it has evolved significantly since
01:27then.
01:28The Archbishop of Rio de Janeiro did not take any action to finish the project that would
01:33be visible from almost any location in the city until the year 1920.
01:40Despite the fact that it required a considerable amount of time to bring the materials down
01:45from the mountain, the statue was completed in the year 1931.
01:51In order to get all of the items up the mountain that was 2,000 feet in height, train transportation
01:57was required.
01:59Even at this very moment, it is constantly being restored and rebuilt, because even Christ
02:05the Redeemer needs aid from time to time in order to appear to these heavenly standards.
02:11Number 14.
02:12Statue of Belief.
02:14The Statue of Belief, which is one of the youngest sculptures in the world, is currently
02:19the second largest statue in India and is expected to surpass all other statues of Lord
02:24Shiva that are currently in existence.
02:27It is anticipated that the Statue of Belief would reach an astonishing height of 351 feet,
02:34being visible from a distance of around 12 miles.
02:37Without a shore, it will increase the country's significance as a tourist destination and
02:43spiritual destination.
02:45It will be genuinely spectacular.
02:49In Rajasthan, an area that is well known for the Srinivadi Temple, construction has begun
02:54on the Statue of Belief.
02:56Since 2012, this enormous structure, which is situated on 16 acres of gorgeous scenery,
03:03has been in the process of being constructed.
03:06A shoulder height of 260 feet is achieved by the statue, while the height of its base
03:12is 110 feet.
03:14There are various parts that make up this whole.
03:18A smaller Nandi sculpture, which is roughly 25 feet tall and 37 feet wide, is placed in
03:24front of the Statue of Belief.
03:27Its dimensions are approximately the same as those previously mentioned.
03:32Not only is the monument a sight to behold, but the region is also home to a number of
03:36stunning herb gardens, and it is in the process of being renovated into an entertainment park
03:42that will feature zip lines, food cellars, and all-terrain vehicle rides.
03:49Not only is the Statue of Belief going to be the fourth tallest statue in the world,
03:54but it is also going to be an extraordinarily breathtaking attraction.
03:59Number 13 The Great Buddha of Thailand
04:04There is a good chance that you are already somewhat aware of the Great Buddha of Thailand
04:09since it is a location that is quite popular among tourists and is an absolute necessity
04:14for anyone who is traveling to Thailand.
04:18It's not hard to understand why that is either.
04:20The height of the statue is over 300 feet, and its width is over 210 feet.
04:26There is another name for the statue, which is the Great Buddha of Thailand.
04:31There is a statue of the Great Buddha of Thailand, also referred to as the Great Buddha from
04:36the dissemination of the Buddha that is known as the Great Buddha of Thailand, and it can
04:40be found inside the Great Buddha of Thailand.
04:43The structure was constructed in 1194 and consisted of five stories.
04:48It was constructed on the same site as the Great Buddha of Thailand and was then painted
04:52gold.
04:53With the intention of paying tribute to the monarch of Thailand at the time, the construction
04:58of the Great Buddha began in the year 1990 and continued until the year 2008 when it
05:03was finally completed.
05:05Donations from Buddhists all around the world were used to construct the statue.
05:10These individuals viewed their contributions as a demonstration of their faith, an act
05:15of merit, and an opportunity to give something back to the community.
05:19To sum it all up, they amassed the equivalent of more than $3 million.
05:24One hand is placed lightly on the knee of the Buddha represented here, while the other
05:27hand is lying on their lap with their palm facing upward.
05:31This posture is known as the Maravijaya attitude.
05:35During his journey toward enlightenment, Buddha is said to have triumphed over his adversaries,
05:40and this posture or attitude is symbolic of that victory.
05:43In addition, if you ever have the opportunity to have a close look at the Great Buddha of
05:48Thailand, you might also experience a sense of enlightenment.
05:52Number 12.
05:53Hokkaido Kanon
05:54As the third largest statue in Japan, the Hokkaido Kanon is also the eighth tallest
05:59in the world.
06:00This 289-foot-tall sculpture is another famous representation of the Bodhisattva Guanyin,
06:06a prevalent figure in Buddhism.
06:08It is also called the Byaku-e Kanon or the Daikanon of Kaitanomiya Park.
06:14Additionally, it has been open for business since 1989, so it isn't really a newcomer.
06:20Guests of the Hokkaido Kanon may ride the elevator to any of the 20-stories housing
06:24shrines and other houses of worship during the building's prime.
06:28Nothing wrong with it if you're not a fan of heights.
06:31Why?
06:32Because you may still find a plethora of little shrines scattered around the region, perfect
06:38for finding solace and seeking divine wisdom.
06:41Historically, this area saw an influx of visitors in the spring, when the cherry blossoms,
06:47a symbol of Japan, were in full bloom.
06:50We regret to inform you that the Hokkaido Kanon is now permanently closed.
06:54Number 11.
06:56The Statue of Liberty
06:57Without the Statue of Liberty, this list of the highest statues in the world would be
07:01incomplete.
07:02Everybody knows about the Statue of Liberty, but for many immigrants, she was the first
07:06thing they saw when they crossed the Atlantic Ocean at Ellis Island.
07:10Her legacy is just as magnificent as she is beautiful.
07:14In 1865, the French were the first to suggest it.
07:18Building formally started in 1875, with a large portion of the funding coming from the
07:23general public.
07:25Her structure was crafted from unadorned copper sheets, each one meticulously hammered and
07:30molded by hand.
07:32Gustave Eiffel himself built her steel frame, which the pliable sheets subsequently covered.
07:38The Eiffel Tower
07:39Yes, the Eiffel.
07:41The completed sculpture weighed an incredible 225 tons and was a towering 151 feet tall
07:47before being placed on our pedestal.
07:50She was sent to the U.S. as a token of friendship between the two countries and given to them
07:54as a gift.
07:56In 1886, she was eventually placed on her pedestal, and at 305 feet tall, she now towered
08:02above New York City.
08:04She stayed in New York City for the past 150 years.
08:08Standing proudly with a torch and the Declaration of Independence in one hand, she was a famous
08:13American icon.
08:15Feel free to question why this copper sculpture has a verdant hue.
08:18She used to be the same color as the U.S. penny, but her green patina is a result of
08:23years of exposure to seawater and weather.
08:2610.
08:27Spring Temple Buddha
08:29In reality, a statue of the Buddha is the second highest statue in the world following
08:33the Buddha statue.
08:34A Buddha statue known as the Spring Temple may be seen in the township of Zakhun, which
08:39is located in Lucheng County, Hainan Province.
08:43With a staggering height of 502 feet and a width of 402 feet, it was constructed beginning
08:48in 1997 and continuing until 2008, a span of 11 years.
08:53The Tianyi Hot Spring, which is located nearby and is supposed to have restored the statue's
09:00is that which gave rise to the statue's name.
09:03The Buddha of the Spring Temple is Virakana, who is frequently referred to as Gautama Buddha.
09:10Gautama Buddha is the Buddha that the majority of Westerners think of when they think of
09:16the Buddha.
09:17This artwork is typically used to symbolize the notion of sunyata, which can be translated
09:22as the void or the non-existence of the self in traditional East Asian Buddhism.
09:29In addition, if you are able to comprehend that idea, then it is possible that I will
09:34one day come across a massive statue picturing you.
09:38It is necessary to ascend a significant number of stairs in order to have a close-up look
09:43at the Buddha that is located in the Spring Temple.
09:46Because of this, however, you will be rewarded with the most breathtaking vista in the entire
09:52city.
09:53Number 9.
09:54Lekyun Sekya Buddha There is a statue in Zakun that is the third
09:59largest in the world.
10:01Myanmar's Katakan Taung Hamlet is home to the magnificent Lekyun Sekya Buddha, which
10:08may be found there.
10:10This statue of the Lekyun Sekya Buddha is really stunning, and it is certain to bring
10:14a smile to your face that is just as enormous as the statue itself.
10:21A total of 12 years were spent on the construction of this Buddha statue, which is 424 feet in
10:28height.
10:29It was ultimately finished and shown to the public in the year 2008.
10:35As you approach the monument, you will have your jaw on the floor because of the beautiful
10:40and tranquil pagodas and parks that are located along the path.
10:46You will see the statue from miles and miles away since it looms over the environment.
10:52Furthermore, in addition to the Buddha who is standing, you will also observe the other
10:57Buddha who is only lying down, unwinding, and taking it easy.
11:02After all, he is the Buddha, so he is capable of doing that.
11:08You have the opportunity to make your way inside the standing Buddha, which is 31 floors,
11:13each of which represents and depicts the 31 worlds of life cycles that are described in
11:17the Buddha's scriptures.
11:19Whether you choose to believe it or not, this Buddha is one of the most popular tourist
11:24destinations in Myanmar.
11:27Numerous individuals travel from all over the country in order to have a sight of this
11:32unearthly artwork.
11:34Number 8.
11:35Sendai Daikon Buddha With a height of 330 feet, the Sendai Daikonon,
11:41which is located in Sendai, Japan, is the tallest depiction of a goddess in Japan and
11:46the biggest of its sort anywhere in the world.
11:49It is also the largest statue of the Baikoi Canon.
11:52You would have believed that sculptures couldn't possibly get any larger, but this thing is
11:57actually rather monumental in Japan.
12:00Initially, she was the tallest monument in the world when she was constructed in 1991.
12:06However, she has gradually slipped down to the 5th place position in 2018.
12:15You may absolutely walk inside for a nominal cost, and you can ride the elevator all the
12:20way up to the top floor, where you will find even more sculptures of the Buddha and a variety
12:27of fabled kings.
12:29There are a total of 12 levels, each of which contains 8 Buddhas housed in its own wooden
12:35cabinet.
12:36If you are skilled in mathematics, you will be able to calculate that this amounts to
12:40a total of 106 Buddhas.
12:43Number 7.
12:44Ushiku Daibutsu The Ushiku Daibutsu, which can be found in
12:48the prefectures of Ushiku and Ibaraki, holds the position of being the 4th tallest statue
12:53in the entire globe.
12:55The statue, which depicts the Amitabha Buddha and stands at a height of 394 feet, was finished
13:00in 1993 and is made entirely of bronze.
13:04It is a representation of the Buddha, who is known to embody boundless light and life.
13:10At the same time that it is an extremely common Buddha, it also symbolizes something that
13:14is really beautiful.
13:16In addition to this, it commemorates the birth of Shinran, the founder of the Jodo Shinshu
13:21school of Buddhism, which is widely regarded as the authentic Pure Land school of Buddhism.
13:27You can take a stroll within the Ushiku Daibutsu and make your way up to the observation deck.
13:31Despite the fact that the Ushiku Daibutsu is appealing from a distance as well as from
13:36a close range, after entering the building for the first time, you will be met by a dimly
13:42lit lobby that is filled with music and a dazzling shaft of light that serves as the
13:47focal point.
13:48The Buddhist scriptures are given a greater amount of attention on the second floor, which
13:52is referred to as the world of thankfulness and gratitude.
13:56For the world of the Lotus Sanctuary, which is located on the third floor, you will find
14:003,000 magnificent golden Buddha statues.
14:04After that, you will reach the fourth and final level, which provides you with views
14:08from the bosom of the statue that overlook the garden and animal park.
14:12Every floor of this enormous monument presents you with a fresh opportunity to pause and
14:17contemplate not just the teachings and principles that Buddha espoused, but also your own life
14:23and the choices you have made.
14:25Number 6.
14:26The Motherland Calls.
14:29Moving away from one of the world's largest religions, Buddhism, for a moment, let's take
14:34a look at a European statue in the ninth largest in the world, and the tallest in Europe, the
14:39Motherland Call.
14:41This statue is just as epic as its name.
14:43The Motherland Call stands at 279 feet tall in Volgograd, Russia, and it's the centerpiece
14:49of a larger ensemble of monuments.
14:51The Motherland Call stands as a constant reminder not only of the victory, but of the
14:56great cost the Soviets paid to defend the nation.
14:59And aside from a history lesson, the awesome statue looks like something out of a fantasy
15:04novel.
15:05Number 5.
15:06Gushan Guan Yin of the Thousand Hands and Eyes.
15:09Alright, this next entry on the list is probably the coolest yet.
15:13Gushan Guan Yin of the Thousand Hands and Eyes is exactly what it sounds like.
15:17Well, maybe she doesn't literally have a thousand hands and eyes, but she's got more hands and
15:22heads that you can count with two hands.
15:25She's working with 42 hands in all, each making their own distinct and deliberate gesture.
15:30All of these hands allow this Buddha to see all of the misfortunes in the world and come
15:35to the aid of those who need it.
15:37And as you work your way up the statue, you'll notice the multiple heads that sit atop her
15:42main visa.
15:43It really is quite a beautiful statue, and its deeper meaning is even more so, as we
15:48should all recognize not only the trials and tribulations, but also light in one another.
15:54The sixth tallest statue in the world, and the fourth tallest in China, she stands at
15:59325 feet tall and is made entirely of gilded bronze, and lives in the Hunan province.
16:05Number 4.
16:06The Statue of Unity.
16:09India is the second most populated country in the world, and while there may be strength
16:13in numbers, the people of India understand their country's tumultuous history.
16:18Amidst all their pain and heartache during the age of colonialism, there is still beauty,
16:24and most importantly, unity.
16:27The Statue of Unity is the tallest in the world at 597 feet tall.
16:33It towers over the Spring Temple Buddha in China by over 170 feet, and it serves as a
16:38constant reminder of national pride.
16:41And instead of depicting a Buddha or one of Hinduism's fanatic 330 million gods and goddesses,
16:49the Statue of Unity simply depicts a human man, Sardar Patel.
16:56Sardar Patel is the first Prime Minister of India, and held the office for just three
17:01years from 1947 to 1950, but he made quite an impact even before then.
17:09When India was under British rule, it was divided into 526 states, all with their own
17:15social rules, customs, and laws.
17:18The Crown made it quite difficult for any sort of dissent, but Patel was a fierce civil
17:22rights activist, and not only fought vehemently for his country's independence, but also helped
17:26to unite hundreds of separate states into one beautiful India.
17:32The Statue of Unity is made of reinforced concrete and bronze, and was built in just
17:39three years.
17:40It was unveiled in October of 2008, on what would have been Patel's 133rd birthday party.
17:48People flocked from far and wide to gaze upon this model, which serves not only as a valuable
17:53history lesson to all, but as a statement of the human spirit as well.
17:59Number 3.
18:00Leshan Giant Buddha
18:03Since the first century after the Common Era, the first Buddhist temple in China may be
18:08found in the province of Sichuan.
18:11It has been there since the beginning of religious practice.
18:14Even though it is already a breathtaking sight, the Leshan Giant Buddha, which is one of the
18:19largest sculptures in the world, will be calling this location home.
18:24This sculpture is set against the most beautiful backdrop possible, which is the sheer rock
18:30face.
18:31The rock, which stands at a height of 230 feet, is the tallest pre-modern sculpture,
18:37in addition to being the highest stone Buddha image seen anywhere in the globe.
18:42It is quite clear that it possesses a great deal of benefits.
18:47On top of the Min, the Leshan Giant Buddha, which is made of red bean sandstone that dates
18:54back to the Cretaceous period, stands tall and proud.
18:59Because of its illustrious status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which it attained in
19:041996, the Giant Buddha is visited by tens of thousands of people each and every year.
19:12This is something that you might anticipate.
19:15There are many who come to take pictures of the moment, and there are others who come
19:18to think about the purpose of life.
19:21As a result of its age and the fact that it was most likely carved by hand, the statue
19:26is even more spectacular, and it is of significant significance to a great number of individuals.
19:32However, it is sad that the Leshan Giant Buddha is not exactly constructed to last forever,
19:38and it has deteriorated throughout the course of their existence.
19:42Due to the fact that wind and air pollution are the primary contributors to the issue,
19:48the government sends out teams to ensure that the historic monument is preserved to the
19:53best of their abilities.
19:562.
19:57Statue of Guan Yu
19:59Since his death in the year 220 AD, Guan Yu has been seen as a revered figure.
20:05He was a well-known Chinese military commander.
20:09This resulted in the completion of a statue in central China in 2016, which stood at 190
20:16feet tall and weighed approximately 2,000 tons.
20:20In spite of the fact that the statue does not appear to be an exact duplicate of General
20:24Yu's visage, it has managed to transform him into something that is figuratively monumental.
20:31In spite of the fact that Guan Yu is dressed in the traditional costume of the time period,
20:36which consists of a cloak and robes, he is nevertheless brandishing his illustrious weapon,
20:41the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
20:43Despite the fact that it may sound like a mystical wand from Dungeons and Dragons, the
20:47object in question is a genuine artifact that is currently being shown in the museum within
20:52the pedestal of the statue.
20:55With his 123-ton sword, the sculpture, which was created from 4,000 bronze strips, gives
21:01the impression that it is ready to launch itself into action at the drop of a hat and
21:06slay any adversary.
21:08Only around three years and approximately 1.5 billion yuan, which is equivalent to approximately
21:13$230 million, were required by the government in order to erect the statue of Guan Yu.
21:20Many locals come to pay their respects, in addition to the tourists who travel considerable
21:24distances to see this majestic memorial.
21:27While it is possible that it does not possess the title of the highest statue in the world,
21:32there is no one who can argue against the fact that it is among the most impressive.
21:361.
21:37Guan Yin of Nanshan
21:40When you are in the vicinity of the Nanshan Temple of Sanya, which is located on the southern
21:44shore of the Hainan province in China, you can't help but notice the Guan Yin of Nanshan,
21:50which is precisely 354 feet tall and towers over virtually everything.
21:56Another stunning statue depicting Guan Yin, who is a symbol of compassion and mercy, this
22:01one is particularly stunning.
22:03This statue is a little bit unique in that it has three faces, two of which face the
22:07South China Sea and the other face inland.
22:11These faces are meant to symbolize the Guan Yin blessing in protecting the entire planet.
22:15Additionally, they are doing the Vakarta Mudra motion with the other hand while holding a
22:20sutra in the left hand.
22:22This gesture is meant to symbolize the discourses and transmissions of Buddhist teaching within
22:27the Buddhist tradition.
22:29Nothing about this statue is a coincidence, everything about it serves a purpose and nothing
22:34here happened by chance.
22:36As you make your way around the statue, you will notice that the Guan Yin is also holding
22:40a string of prayer beads and a lotus.
22:43Her statue, which was finally enshrined in 2005, was constructed over the course of six
22:48years and is currently ranked as the 12th largest statue in the world.
22:53And despite the fact that she is extremely breathtaking to look at, the view of the crystal
22:58clear seas that she rests on is not all that horrible either.
23:02Outro.
23:03That's it for our tour of the titans of the statue world.
