what about the budha status in Hyderabad India… in the midile of hussen sagar.
Yeah.. I know about the Buddha statue in Hussain Sagar. I didn’t include it because it’s height is below 30m.
Anyone thought of marking all of these up in Google Earth and providing a .kmz file?
Just a suggestion in the off case anyone had a spare evening…
Think Peace,

what about the Hanuman Murti in Trinidad?
(Kevin) It’s less than 30m in height. (26m to be exact)
What about the Dominican Republics statues?
(Jeanne) Any one of them above 30m?
Where’s the 4-toed statue of LOST fame???
(Joseph) It’s fiction, my friend.
Have you had a look at the Yun gang shi ku in china near Shan xi? The caves there are very impressive with multiple multiple statues carved into the mountains.
(Phoebe) Yes it is impressive. However, the tallest statue is only 17 meters.
