The Statue of Liberty, the pyramids of Egypt or the Eiffel Tower are all in danger of being destroyed in the future.
Statue of Liberty.
Statue of Liberty full name is the Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World, currently located in New York, USA. The statue is a gift from France to America, inaugurated on October 28, 1886. Although it is green, the visible parts of this building are mainly made of copper.
Over time it is exposed to wind, rain and sun, it gradually turns a distinctive green color. The inside of the statue is made of iron, almost like a skeleton, which helps it stand up to strong winds. The outer copper layer is actually only as thick as 2 coins combined. So how long will the Statue of Liberty last? This mainly depends on the durability of the material that makes the statue.
In the early 1980s, about a century after the Statue of Liberty was inaugurated, the United States began a restoration project. The biggest problem is probably the rusty part of the frame. They are replaced by stainless steel.
To understand the durability of the copper layer, we can consider copper roofs. Copper roofs can last more than 100 years. In theory, copper roofs can even last up to 1000 years, according to Metal Roofing magazine.
Pyramid of Giza .
And this is the pyramid complex at Giza, Egypt . This great mausoleum was built about 4500 years ago for the Pharaohs who ruled ancient Egypt. Pharaohs of that time believed that they would become gods after they died. The pyramid was built in preparation for them and contained all the supplies needed for this journey.
There are many theories about how the pyramid was built. Some even think that this is the work of aliens. The pyramid has stood for a very long time. But perhaps they cannot last forever, no matter how hard people try to restore them.
Djoser’s pyramid.
Djoser – Egypt’s oldest pyramid faced a lot of damage over the years due to environmental conditions. Experts have carried out the restoration of the pyramid, but this is very difficult work and may cause further damage to the pyramid.
Many people believe that the pyramid can last for millions of years if it is not affected. However, natural disasters such as earthquakes can threaten the existence of this structure. They can also be subject to human impact, such as destruction during war.
So how long will the Eiffel Tower last?
Eiffel tower.
This iron structure was built in the late 19th century in Paris, France, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.
In 1986, experts carried out an important renovation of the tower and there are many other restoration plans in the future.
If people do not repair or restore the Eiffel Tower, it may quickly lose its beauty as it is today. The tower is being repainted about every 7 years to prevent rust and corrosion. The Eiffel Tower may continue to exist for a long time, but eventually will not be able to stand when severe rust.
