Um...yeah, like the Statue of Liberty (US), Big Ben (England), Eiffel Tower (France), and Great Wall of China (China).

Just name some really obvious ones, its for a project. And since it's a spanish project I chose the Mayan Pyramids from Mexico, can you guys think of anything better?

What about Kheops' pyramids in Egypt? ;)

Also, the Kilimanjaro represents Tanzania, but there's a human part in it even if it's natural, the snow is melting! :lol

I enjoy how canada looks like some sort of 1970s communist nation, like an insane North Korea or something like an Iran.
You get that from two crappy pictures?

And what about the french peons who got rolled and lost their lives during the 1812 war because they got suckerpunched by the english to fight along their sides? And many of which who'd later lose their life from these same english with the Patriotes in the 1830s?

These are a parcel of the reasons I prefer the Frontenac Castle to this Monument. Unless it's renamed Montcalm. ;)

Thats a monument that represents Saddam not Iraq. The city of Babylon, the Tower of Babel, and the Hanging Gardens of Babel are the monuments of Iraq.

edit: some pics

I wouldn't call any of those representative of Iraq Firestorm, because you know the region wasn't called that when all of those things were built.

For the record I don't consider the Pyramids to be representative of Egypt either. Certainly not the Egypt of today.

When you see the Pyramids, you think of Egypt. Thats what this thread is all about.
