The Statue of Liberty, the symbol synonymous with the United States of America, was originally intended to stand in Port Said, Egypt. Auguste Bartholdi, the statue’s sculptor, originally intended Lady Liberty to be ‘Egypt carrying the light of Asia’. However, when the project proved too expensive, the statue was diverted to be a gift for America.
