The tallest Statue in the World - Statue Of Unity

avatar

Hey there,

i was impressed to learn that the tallest statue in the world is actually not the statue of Liberty, the Sphinx in Egypt or the statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro! The tallest statue in the World is the statue of unity

I find it quite amazing what people are able to do. I am also amazed to learn new things like that and hope to visit this place one time. I believe India has a lot to over, not only the tallest Statue in the World.

Thank you for viewing my post. Let me know if you knew about the Statue of Liberty before or are you surprised like me to learn about it?

Have a great day and stay curious.
