Lady Liberty Was Originally Intended for Egypt
The sculptor, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, initially designed a similar statue for the Suez Canal in Egypt. The project, titled "Egypt Carrying the Light to Asia," was never realized due to financial constraints, and the design was later repurposed for the United States.
The Statue Has a Real Name
While commonly known as the Statue of Liberty, her full name is "Liberty Enlightening the World." This name emphasizes her purpose as a beacon of freedom and enlightenment.
