Question 1 of 10

1. Two countries seem to dominate the lists for replicas: the U.S. and China. Perhaps these two want what they don't have! As seen in the picture, these two familiar staples of Egyptian culture have spawned many copies, including a replica of the Sphinx built in China in 2014 that caused controversy. However, these replicas can be found in what U.S. city? Hint

Orlando, Florida

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

San Francisco, California

Las Vegas, Nevada

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Las Vegas, Nevada

An exact replica of the Sphinx built in China in 2014 caused the Egyptian government to claim it "harms the cultural heritage of Egypt".

Of course, these two replicas are found in the Luxor Las Vegas hotel and casino. They probably are pretty harmful to the cultural heritage of Egypt as well.

2. This photo may look like Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, but it is actually a miniature representation of it in the Window of the World park in what Chinese city right outside of Hong Kong?

Answer: Shenzhen

The Window of the World park in Shenzhen has over 130 monuments from different parts of the world. The American section includes Mount Rushmore, the Washington Monument, the White House: here, even the Twin Towers still stand.

3. This less-than-inspiring duplicate is found in Warwick Farm, New South Wales, along with a few other copies littering the city. What bridge is this replica trying to emulate?

Answer: Sydney Harbor Bridge

A suburb of Sydney, this small town has multiple bridge replicas littering the city. It appears as though this bridge doesn't get nearly as much use next to a car dealership as in Sydney, however.

Answer: Midwest

Students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison created a fake political party known as the Pail and Shovel Party, promising that if elected, they would bring the Statue of Liberty to Lake Mendota. Little did everyone know that they made good on their promise in the winter!

This image is actually a copy of the original Lake Mendota statue several years later. A copy of a copy!

5. Some replicas have rather utilitarian uses, as does this library in Vancouver which is modeled after what Roman monument?

Answer: Colosseum

With twenty-two branches, the Vancouver Public Library serves a population of over 500,000 people. The Central Branch's exterior looks like the Flavian Amphitheater, which is also known as the Colosseum.

6. No that isn't Stonehenge but a facsimile erected in the U.S. state of Virginia. It is famous because of the clever name invented for it. What building material is it made from?

Answer: Foam

"Foamhenge", as it is properly called, has the following warning sign for visitors:

"Warning--Two great reasons you will not deface my sculpture: 1. It's a federal offence to deface public or private property. 2. Sometimes I hide and watch. I'll let you scratch on Foamhenge as I do the same to your parked vehicle. Don't be surprised, I'm nuts enough to do it!"

Answer: The Lighthouse of Alexandria

A pharos is an ancient lighthouse, and this replica is of the one of the Seven Ancient Wonders known as the Lighthouse of Alexandria. As it is not near any important water sources, it is not likely to be of much use as a lighthouse!

Answer: Bangladesh

This modern version of the Taj Mahal took only five years to build, unlike its counterpart, which took over twenty from 1632-1653. Many Indian officials claimed the new Taj Mahal to be a fraud and threatened legal action; however, they later expressed the opinion that the copy was a form of flattery and that people would not get the two confused due to their differences.

Answer: Cristo Redentor

"Cristo Redentor" is the famous statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that was completed in 1931. The figure of Jesus holding out his arms became a symbol of Brazilian Christianity and a signal of the country.

Other options for the statue that were ultimately rejected were a crucifix, Jesus holding a globe, and a pedestal.

Answer: Texas

The cowboy hat might have given away the answer! Paris, Texas, is a city of about 25,000 people, much lower than the two million or so residents of the city of Paris, France.

The tower's hat was considered "the stupidest idea ever" by some Texas residents, but it has certainly allowed it to stand out amongst the many other Eiffel Tower replicas! Somehow, I don't think the French would be too impressed.
