3 THE AFRICAN RENAISSANCE MONUMENT
(SENEGAL)
This is a 49 meter tall bronze statue located on top of one of the twin hills known as Collines des Mamelles , outside Dakar , Senegal . Built overlooking the
Atlantic Ocean in the Ouakam suburb, the statue was designed by the Senegalese architect Pierre Goudiaby after an idea presented by president
Abdoulaye Wade and built by Mansudae Overseas Projects, a company from North Korea .
On completion President Wade said,
"It brings to life our common destiny. Africa has arrived in the 21st century standing tall and more ready than ever to take its destiny into its hands."
This never went down well with the people of Senegal first the ill regime of Wade and then then...
It was believed that the statue was show of the authoritative and power enthusicating trick of the president to get all under mind control as they look upon the statue.
Some locals and tourist once reported in explained love for the president when ever they looked at the statue.
The question begs was the statue Medusa? Hmmmm maybe when next you see a statue you might as well not look if you you are not sure what it really is.
2. THE NORTH KOREAN LEADERS
This statue is so popular but very few people know the story behind it.
Unlike what you felt you knew here are 9 things you never knew about the statue.
1.The Statue was originally designed for the Suez Canal in Egypt.
2.The Statue of Liberty was not a gift from France to America.

7.Bartholdi planned for the statue to be covered in gold.
8.Thomas Edison once had plans to make the statue talk.

2. THE NORTH KOREAN LEADERS

| People bowing to North Korean leaders.
To better understand this, here is a testimony from a tourist.
It's easier to just "go through the motions", bending over in front of the statue doesn't have to mean you respect the man if that's not what you are thinking. The guides will probably be quite offended if you make a point of not "showing your respect". I bowed at two Kim Il Sung statues, his body, and the Kim Jong Il statue at the International Friendship Exhibition (they requested I do up my jacket for this one too). But going along with their customs doesn't mean I agree with the regime.
A saying goes when in Rome behave like the Romans.
I had advice you never go to North Korea why? Behaving like them would imply bowing before the statue of there leader Kim and his fathers.
Yes as mysterious as it seems it is true they only way to avoid this is stay away from the statue or pretend you are sick.
The reason they erected this statue is basically to make a god of themself. They want to live for ever and one way of doing this is making the people worship them.
