Study Notes
E.S. Wheeler and the Pyramid of Giza Replica
- In 1908, E.S. Wheeler proposed building a life-size replica of the Pyramid of Giza in Detroit, Michigan.
- Proposed site was a historic place on Fort Street, originally home to Cadillac’s village.
- Estimated cost for the pyramid was $36 million; it would stand 485 feet tall and measure 706 feet on each side.
- Wheeler's analysis suggested the U.S. population (312 million) could build 2.6 pyramids per day if everyone worked on it.
- This analysis has been seen as either naive economics or a critique of the labor practices in ancient Egypt.
Eiffel Tower Mini-Replica
- Artist Phillipe Maindron constructed a mini Eiffel Tower in Paris, called "Eiffela," about one-tenth the size of the original.
- The original Eiffel Tower stands at 330 meters; the mini version is 32 meters tall.
- The Eiffel Tower was constructed between 1887 and 1889, employing 150-300 workers.
- Composed of 18,038 iron parts and 2.5 million rivets, the structure serves mainly as a radio and TV broadcast tower.
- The tower undergoes repainting every 7 years and was initially intended to be temporary.
Eiffel Tower Replicas Around the World
- Over 80 replicas of the Eiffel Tower exist globally; popular locations include:
- Lyon, France: The Metallic Tower of Fourvière predates the original.
- Paris, Texas, USA: Features a replica donned with a cowboy hat.
