World’s Most Famous Statues Compared By Height: 3D Animation By Amir Kedir

ADVERTISEMENT

Many would agree that art is usually way more than just aesthetics. It can carry a series of symbolisms and representations, which can be of a religious, political, social or historical nature. This especially applies to statues, which stand tall in the cities of the world as reminders of specific times. Whether they’re gold, copper, bronze or even concrete, all statues share one factor that draws the most attention – the height, which can often even surpass buildings.

Designer Amir Kedir has decided to compare the heights of the most famous statues in the world and created an amazing 3D animation to do so. In the video, you can see the statues quickly assemble from the smallest to the largest one. Hold your breath and take a look!

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.

    Does anyone else feel like holding something really high over the statue’s head is cheating?

    They do the same with skyscrapers. To claim bragging rights, often a very tall communications tower will be installed to cap off the top.

    Kim Jong Un will now allow countless subjects of his starve to death to create the largest statue in the world.

    Several of these statues are cheating by standing on plinths. Kudos to the Sphinx for not only not being on one but actually lying down almost flat to have its photo taken. That shows confidence. Respect.
