What’s that? First you say? Tremendous!
What’s that? You have no lifeyou say? Tremendous!
Which looks an awful lot like the statue at the Place de la Bastille in Paris: http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/staticfiles/NGS/Shared/StaticFiles/Photography/Images/POD/p/place-de-la-bastille-450107-sw.jpg
Dayum. WIN

Which also looks an awful lot like the statue in Heroes’ Square in Budapest:

which all 4 look peculiarly like a d1ck
it all so looks like thishttp ://www.inspectorlohmann.com/images/blog/politics/republicanPenis.jpg
All of which look like blatant phallic symbols
Hey I said that! Granted that you said it first, but still… I said that!
SECOND!
And both of them look like the monument to the Bastille in Paris.
Way to miss the second post in the comments. That one even included a link.
all of which look like people had the same ideas at the same times so once they got posted there were two of every comment and the “second” was way down the list
And a million other ones. There’s one in Zagreb, one in Budapest…
The Stachewz r Uz catalog isn’t that big. Custom orders take a long time and must be paid in advance with no refunds.
Memorial committees aren’t that bright or artistically talented, anyway.
Their all based on Trajan’s Column in Rome.
I fail to see the LoL in this.
Both statues represent the same set of ideas.
Fact is, there are a LOT of statues that look alike.
this is retarded… there are millions of statues just like that. the only similiarities is that they all are pillars with angels on top. wooptie doo
They aren’t angels, they are depictions of Nike the goddess of victory.
Win
…for being the biggest anal history geek!
ummm same artist made them maybe?
No. Berlin was made in 1873. Mexico City’s was made in 1910.
agreed, the lolz here are in short supply and they must be conserved for more deserving samples.
Why does berlin have a statue of victory? You have to win a whole war to claim victory. Not the first bit were france surrenders.
Believe it or not, there have been other wars besides THAT one.
Specifically, in this case the Danish-Prussian War (1864), the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71).

Mexican Independence sounds like an oxymoron.
And Third-world references like urs make the world go round i guess…U must be american
No, he/she must be mexican.

The German victory statue is called Hermaansdenkmaal, (hope I spelled that right), and it was built as a monument to a battle where the Goths destroyed 3 legions of Romans in the forest.
Where do you have that from? The Jungle Book?
As brazzy already said it’s build as a monument for the Prussian victories in the three unification wars.
The Hermannsdenkmal is a completely different monument in the Teutoburg forest, which is near Bielefeld, not Berlin.
And it were the Cherusci, not the Goths, who defeated the Romans.

Tja…..aber unsere Saeule war zu erst da!!!
Our monument was there first!
xxx from berlin xxx
That is because both statues are related. One of the inspirations for the “Independence Angel” is the Berlin Victory Column.

(yes, I am a Mexican citizen)
they are replicas…
en muchos paises hay iguales en las capitales son estatuas de independencia la de quito es igual
…aaaaand the Free Masons own us all. Thank you
looks like boston college eagle statue.
I know this is an old site… but come on!!! Of course they look alike! They are not a copy or a mistery of masonry! Those are all COLUMNS, a type of monument as common as obelisks or fountains, every country has at least one of those. If you still want to see freemasonry symbols, then look at the four obelisks surrounding the mexican column as well as it’s chess black and white marble at the basement and the 13 leafs on each plant depicted on it. The eternal flame lighted below or the stars at the entrance door. Mexican architecture is full of masonic elements, it’s not a devil thing, it’s just a very popular organization in all american countries.
