Why is Abraham Lincoln sitting at the Lincoln Memorial?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I don't know if this is the real reason or not, but Abraham Lincoln was very tall. Maybe they didn't want to make a statue that would be in the scale they chose, but would show how tall he was. ---- The main influence on the style of the Lincoln Memorial was the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, Greece. The focus of the memorial is Daniel Chester Frence's sculpture of Lincoln, seated on a throne. French studied many of Mathew Brady's photographs of Lincoln and depicted the President as worn and pensive, gazing eastwards down the Reflecting Pool toward the capital's starkest emblem of the Union, the Washington Monument. Beneath his hands, the Roman fasces, symbols of the authority of the Republic, are sculpted in relief on the seat. The statue stands 19 feet 9 inches (6 m) tall and 19 feet (6 m) wide, and was carved from 28 blocks of white Georgia marble. source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Memorial#Sculptural_features

Do you capitalize Lincoln memorial?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The word "Lincoln" is a proper name and is thus always capitalized. If a word is part of the name of a structure, then it is also capitalized. Thus, Empire State Building, Chicago Art Museum, Washington Monument, and Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

However, if a word is NOT part of the name of a structure, it is NOT capitalized. Thus, "a building within the Empire State," "a museum of art in Chicago," "a monument to George Washington," and "a memorial to Vietnam veterans."

Where in the bushes under the Lincoln Memorial on a five dollar bill is the number 172?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The 172, 173 or 175 as some people claim it to be can be found on the bottom left. At the bottom it say FIVE DOLLARS, look just above the F. the 2 in 172 is just above the green triangle in the F that separates the two horizontal lines in an F. The 7 is just left of that and in my opinion is the easiest to see. It is a mere optical illusion where your mind is associating the shape of the leaves with familiar shapes. The 172 does not mean anything, It is not a conspiracy, and in fact it does not exist, except in your mind trying to find order in chaos.
