        Okay, thanks for letting me know!

        I had searched up the Egypt Carrying the Light to Asia which notes that the statue was based off a design that was meant to be at the Suez canal and the concept was reused as the statue of Liberty after being declined, which I still find pretty interesting. I guess the original commenter added a bunch of the other stuff based on the misinformation that the other commenter pointed out.
