Pirilao Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 MY VOTE Christ Redeemer (1931) Rio de Janeiro, Brazil This statue of Jesus stands some 38 meters tall, atop the Corcovado mountain overlooking Rio de Janeiro. Designed by Brazilian Heitor da Silva Costa and created by French sculptor Paul Landowski, it is one of the world?s best-known monuments. The statue took five years to construct and was inaugurated on October 12, 1931. It has become a symbol of the city and of the warmth of the Brazilian people, who receive visitors with open arms.

Emakera Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 7 votes... I'll vote for the Cristo Redentor, The Kremlin, Timbuktu, Stonehenge, the Opera House, the Eiffel Tower, and the Taj Mahal. Hope the legion of trolls that we are make the Christ win! I'll spread the word. Link to comment
Tagmatium Rules Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Ah, I voted for this a while ago. Can't remember what exactly for, but Haiga Sophia/Blue Mosque was one of them, as was Stone Henge. Link to comment
Haken Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 You can vote by phone, that's odd. Link to comment
Mongol-Swedes Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Too bad you can't consider the French Foreign Legion one...this unit is one of the world's oldest military outfits. Anywhoo, my Number One vote (out of these insanely limited choices, talk about rigging an election!!! ) would be the Statue of Liberty. Link to comment
