Comments for Brazil in New York Lobbying for Christ the Redeemer at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 12 out of 12 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:55:39 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8389/54/#pc_9937 Brazil’s statue of Christ the Redeemer is a piece of tat! The Empire State building is the same age and a million times more impressive. How could they include this as a wonder? The stupidity of it takes my breath away. You do realise the inclusion of this cheap looking monument, as a Wonder, has totally destroyed any credibility the new seven wonder project might have had? The Petronas Twin Towers, the Eiffel Tower, the Sears tower and a million other monuments around the world are far more deserving of the accolade, even the humble Edinburgh Castle is more of an impressive structure. I am sickened! No wonder UNESCO disowned the new Seven Wonders project! - Astonished Sat, 14 Jul 2007 04:24:23 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8389/54/#pc_9740 Look at it this way Pryor to ww2 France was the largest military power in the world that never did any thing their engineers were responsible for the design of the panama canal , the Suez canal , statue of liberty , Christ , Elfie tower, and Manny other projects around the world several of which are in the running for the best - forest Brown Thu, 28 Jun 2007 15:28:36 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8389/54/#pc_9735 As per chron.com : "The 125-foot statue of Christ the Redeemer with outstretched arms overlooks Rio de Janeiro from atop Mount Corcovado. The statue was built in pieces in France starting in 1926 and shipped to Brazil. A railway carried it up the 2,343-foot mountain for the 1931 inauguration." Was Brazil unable to buil a 125 foot high statue....in 1926....when Egyptiasns built pyramids....MUCH BIGGER AND HIGHER.....THOUSANDS OF YEARS...EARLIER ????? Furthermore why is the Statue of Liberty, not a better choice ? It is a higher/larger statue, 151 feet height versus 125 feet. And built 50 years earlier than Chist The Redeemer. Ohhhhh of course, the medal should go to FRANCE AND FRENCHS.....TOO !!!!! - CH.C. Thu, 28 Jun 2007 10:53:47 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8389/54/#pc_9734 yessssss...you are right.....do some research first. The statue WAS NOT a project from Heitorda Silva Costa...but a much older project from Brazilian churches !. And Landowski DESIGNED The statue.! " Costa was chosen to OVERSEE the construction of the new monument, to be designed by French monumental sculptor Paul Landowski. A group of engineers and technicians studied Landowski's submissions and the decision was made to build the structure out of reinforced concrete instead of steel, more suitable for the cross-shaped " Source : Wikipedia.com Ohhhhh...and what you probably dont know : "Though the Rio Archdiocese owns the monument, Landowski's heirs have taken steps in recent years to demand royalties for his work on the statue" Source : International Herald Tribune Continue your cheating and lying, that's all you are truly good at ! - CH.C.

Do a little research before posting shit on the internet. And the money was raised in Brasil, among the population, through campaigns, most of them lead by the catholic church ( in Brasil). - "Magnus Brasil" Thu, 28 Jun 2007 01:18:24 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8389/54/#pc_9726 is it not like the one that the russians made and is setting in a ware house in PR 300 ft tall of christobal colom but he is holding a ships wheel and has a rain coat on neather of whitch were around in 1492 - forest Brown Wed, 27 Jun 2007 19:21:40 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8389/54/#pc_9725 did any one know there are 3 of them the other 2 are smaller - forest Brown Wed, 27 Jun 2007 19:17:42 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8389/54/#pc_9723 I used to live in Rio and never once had any interest to personally visit the site..
