… will be taller than Statue of Liberty. "The original, a 30m statue of the god Helios in the Greek city which collapsed in the Third Century, will be replaced by a 150m structure – five times the size of the original The Colossus of Rhodes – one of the Seven Ancient Wonders Of The World – may be resurrected as part of a bold new £183.00 GBPmillion plan.

…part of a bold new £183.00 GBP million plan. The country is in a debt crisis and THIS is what they plan to spend money on? |

Right and we would had not heard of this here on greece? Daily Mirror is crap. |

If you haven't yet heard about it in Greece, KTravlos, try reading this: link Looks like a fluff piece for some overpriced resort company to me. |

"New Colossus of Rhodes to be built in Greece – and…" …unlike last time, this one will be wearing underpants!" |

That will ruin the picturesque charm of Rhodes harbour and overshadow the old town and fortress. I hope it never happens. |

Perhaps we could call this one of the 7 stupidities of the modern world. |

more crap sources. net full of crap sources and Greek net full of it to the hilt. |

They are probably going to do it as a kickstarter. |

That would be fantastic. I've always been ranting about "Why don't the Greeks rebuild the Colossus of Rhodes? It would be so much easier today, and it would generate gazillions in tourist revenue."

Looks like a fluff piece for some overpriced resort company to me. So, Disney graduated from buying a Star Wars to buying a country and its heritage? |

"So, Disney graduated from buying a Star Wars to buying a country and its heritage?" If the statue had Mickey Mouse ears, that would cinch that rumor… ;-) |

more crap sources. net full of crap sources and Greek net full of it to the hilt. I find it a little odd that head architect Aris A. Pallas, the head of an international group of architects that are proposing the construction, doesn't seem to have a website for his firm. Maybe it's my Google-Fu. |
