The actual name of the statue in Brazil is "Cristo Redentor" which translates to what you have here. Might want to add that as an answer.

I tried Cristo Redentor just now- didn't work.

Maybe accept just "Liberty" for "Statue of Liberty?"

and I was going to comment that the statue of Saddam was pulled down by Iraqis, not by US troops, but then I rewatched the video and it looks like they both had a hand in it.

There are only 5 total from the US. Including some pretty world-famous ones. Maybe you should try learning some things about the US.

I don't remember what I missed last time. This time the ones I (still) didn't know from the US were the uncompleted Native American warrior and Chicago's statue. For the former I even tried Sitting Bull, but to no avail.

I've lived all my life in the US and I didn't know the one in Chicago. You were so close with Sitting Bull. He and Crazy Horse (and others) defeated Custer at Little Bighorn.

No Lenin? There must have been thousands and thousands of statues of him, with a certain decline around 1990/91... But yes, great quiz

The Monument of Neutrality in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, could be a nice addition too. It has a pretty weird history.

if you do manage to build a statue out of pure europium, just try not to get it wet. That could be bad.

A fun one to add in the future might be Kryptos, at the CIA headquarters at Langley. For those of you who have never heard of it, look it up – this is definitely a crowd who would appreciate it! It is covered in letters that make up encrypted messages; only three of the four have been solved since its installation in 1990, and the artist ain’t talkin’!
