What does the Eiffel Tower Represents. The architect, designer, and engineer of the Eiffel Tower was the man for whom the structure is named, Gustave Eiffel (French, 1832-1923). This historic structure was the main attraction at the Exposition Universelle (World Fair) of 1889 that was hosted by and held in the city of Paris. This event also marked the celebration of the Centennial of the Revolution of 1789.

The structure was not designed, like a statue, to symbolize anything. But although the monument has no practical function and was simply constructed as an attraction for the Paris World's Fair, the structure has become synonymous with the ideals of ingenuity, progress, and beauty. The Eiffel Tower was constructed from wrought iron and reinforced truss work. The monument has become a long-standing example of the progress of 19th century engineering. Other architects and engineers responded to Eiffel's monument with comparable structures of their own. The Statue of Liberty and the Ferris Wheel represent prominent examples.

The world's tallest structure is the 828 m (2,717 ft) tall. The building gained the official title of "Tallest Building in the World" at its opening on 4 January 2010. It is taller than any other man-made structure ever built.

Because workers had to come remove the blood after each battle. Sand was easy enough to shovel up and replace.

Paris France's Eiffel tower is 1665 stairs from bottom to top. It reaches over 1,000 feet tall, the tallest structure in Paris. You can't actually take the stairs all the way to the top because of the dangerously high winds experienced up there, but you can take the first 300 stairs to the first level, then a 2nd set of 300 stairs to the lower observation level of the tower. At that point you can opt to take the elevator to the very top. So basically 600 walkable steps, but 1665 total, technically.

Yes it was.

Well, this is a very vauge question. stone henge lines up with the rising sun at the summer solstaice and the setting sun on the winter solstaise. aside from that it doesn't have any other known "science" behind it, unless you mean the forces that it tolk to make it or the types of rocks in it. there are people who belive that it is used to communicate with aliens or other things like that but it has never been proven to be true.

There is mathematics behind it's design however, in the form of geometry.

In Central London on the banks of the river Thames.

Each year, approximately three million people visit the Palace of Versailles. It was the royal residence of the French monarchs up until 1789. Its impressive gardens took about 40 years to complete.

The most famous monument in Pakistan is Minar-e-Pakistan. Minar-e-Pakistan is constructed at the exact location where Pakistan resolution was passed in 1940.

There are many types of materials that can be used, you must consider how stable you want it to be, will it be handled, played with, or for display purposes. Materials you could use: plaster, polymer or model clay, styrofoam, etc., styrofoam would be the cheapest to build with, using knives (including electric kitchen knives) wood rasps, course sandpaper. You can even combine many materials together. First get a pictire of a Castle, get several sheets of styrofoam, also some round and cone shaped styrofoam, modeling or polymer clay, Elmers glue. Assemble the styrofoam walls, buildings, towers, (the cones are for the spire's on the towers) once the basic Castle is formed and built, now you can flatten the clay to about 1/8" thick and cut many, many small squares to press on the styrofoam to make them look like stone blocks, for the spires, make them look like shale, (a stone roof) Once done allow clay to dry completely, then you can paint, (water based paint only) Use a small stencil brush to dab and blend colors for a aged look. This method will give you the most realistic looking Castle when your done.

Because Lind Frodof built this architect and because it is the great clock. The clock showed time for citizens long ago. It is now a tourist attraction.

Hi. I'm an American but have lived in Scotland for two years and have been back a couple of times. I'll try and go from South to North for the landmarks.

Krilsus- thx so much this page helped a lot with my project I'm doing on Scotland, i wanna move there when i grow up! my relatives live there.

1) Hadrians Wall. A wall built by the Romans to keep the fearsome Picts from coming out of the North(Scotland). It composes most of the present day English/Scottish border. I thought it was fascinating. Also beautiful countryside.

2) Edinburgh Castle in the heart of Edinburgh on Princes Street. Said by many to be one of the most beautiful streets in the world. I wouldn't doubt it. It sits up high on a hill overlooking Scotland's capital. Very Beautiful.

3) Loch Lomond. On the West side north of Glasgow. Songs and poetry written after it's beautiful landscape. The whole Highlands of Scotland are definitely worth seeing.

4) St Andrew's on the East Coast near Dundee. Supposedly the birth place of golf. The countryside alone makes it worth visiting.

5) John O'Groats. The very tip of mainland Scotland.

6) Orkney Islands. Out of the way travels but they contain a lot of stone age relics and stone circles slightly similar but no less impressive then Stonehenge in England.

I'm afraid I've only touched lightly on the landmarks. Scotland has so many historical sights it would take up a lot more room than this. Be glad to ramble on more if you have more specific questions.

It was designed by a team of architects consisting of Frank Anatole, Nic Bailey, Julia Barfield, Steven Chilton, Malcolm Cook, David Marks, and Mark Sparrowhawk.

In the Eiffel tower there are 1665 steps from the ground level to the top of the tower.

Approximately 30 seconds.

Champ de Mars

The famous Colosseum was actually called Flavian Amphitheatre because it was built by the three emperors of the Flavian dynasty. The emperor Vespasian began construction sometime after the Roman capture of Jerusalem in 70 AD. It was built with the proceeds from the war booty form Judea. It was completed by his son and heir, Emperor Titus in 80 AD. Titus' brother and heir, Domitian, built a fourth tier.

It took 7yrs to build, hundreds of people from 5 different countries helped build it to make the London Eye a reality.

The London Eye has 32 capsules and each capsule can carry 25 people - so 800 in total.

Louis XIV did not want his court to be in Paris anymore, he wanted his palace to be a little further away so it would be more quiet and spacious. Originally it was built as a hunting lodge. Then it just grew and grew.
