No. The colossus of Rhodes was built before the idea of the statue of liberty and it was destroyed by an earthquake and the bronze stolen by invading Arabs. Those are two different statues. The statue of liberty stands in New York and the colossus of Rhodes used to stand on Rhodes. Rhodes referes to the Greek Island and not Rhode Island in New York. It was destroyed but it stood 30 meters high and was one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. The liberty lady is a female and the colosus was a male.
