The seventy-two names engraved on the Eiffel Tower are significant in that they represent seventy-two different theoretical and applied scientists who made contributions of one sort or another to the design and/or construction of the landmark-structure. These names were engraved in places of honor on the tower especially as a response to the artists and intellectuals who, as the work was in its beginning-stages, protested publicly against the tower's construction.
