🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BITCOIN ISLAND LIFE- The Statue of Liberty, a gift from France to the United States, was originally conceived as a symbol of liberty and democracy to commemorate the alliance between the two nations during the American Revolution. However, an intriguing aspect of its history is that its creator, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, initially considered building a similar colossal statue for Egypt. In the 1860s, Bartholdi envisioned a massive statue called “Egypt Bringing Light to Asia” as part of a project to celebrate the construction of the Suez Canal. This statue would depict a robed woman holding a lantern, symbolizing progress and enlightenment. However, the Egyptian government, under Khedive Ismail Pasha, rejected the proposal due to financial constraints. Bartholdi later adapted the concept for the United States, where the idea was embraced as a commemoration of shared ideals of freedom. Thus, the Statue of Liberty was repurposed and designed as “Liberty Enlightening the World” to celebrate the centennial of American independence in 1876. It was eventually completed and unveiled in 1886, standing as an enduring symbol of freedom and hope.
