They couldn't have added the 50 States in 1924. Alaska and Hawaii weren't States until the 1950s.

@christianthompson3926 12 дней назад

The video says the "feature" of placing the name of each state and when it joined the Union was added in 1924...meaning the stonework was added. The video (which, presumably was made after the advent of the internet in the 1990s) states that "featured stonework" list the 50 states. It isn't saying 50 states were originally featured in 1924!

20:30 It is thought that the sphinx originally had the head of a lion which was in proportion to the body size. Kafre later having it chipped down to create his own appearance is the predominant explanation as to why the head is comically small in comparison. Also, it has been generally accepted that the sphinx is far older than the mere 4,500 years given. The reason why the body of the lion has significant erosion on alternating layers is because it was subject to intermittent flooding and drying. Evidence has been found on its body that shows that the sphinx was buried up to its neck for a significant period of time. Thousands of years of the Nile's widely varying water height is another reason why the layering likely took place, because many recurrent periods of standing ground water caused the disintegration of alternating layers.

@Llew70 23 дня назад

You are correct, it's a shame this video contains Egypt's continued denial mantra of being the one's who built it rather than the one's who found it. If it had been a symbol of Kafre, the pyramid behind (which I doubt he built either) would have been ALIGNED with the Sphynx. Erosion dating puts this structure quite a bit further back in time, perhaps even before the Younger Dryas.

@stuartm6069 Месяц назад

You're absolutely right, I had to go back and relisten to that part. There are only 36 states listed on the Lincoln Memorial, one above each column. Representing the 36 states, during Lincoln's presidency. Also, Lincoln's right hand does not form the letter "L" in sign language. It is an just open hand, said to represent Peace and forgiveness, while the fist of the left hand is said to represent the War and the struggle to preserve the union.

@stevethirdcitymo6527 Месяц назад

Stop, you’re both wrong. The FEATURE was added in 1924, NOT all of the future 50 states. The Feature allowed for the additions as time (and new states) went on.

@@stevethirdcitymo6527 Technically, I was not wrong. The frieze above the columns has the 36 states, The Attic frieze above that has the 48 states at the time of the dedication of the Monument.
