Eiffel Tower Should Be The One Of A Wonder Of The World
The Eiffel Tower is the most beautiful monument in Paris, France. Here are some interesting facts. The Eiffel Tower has five billion lights to light it up at night, and did you know that the Eiffel Tower was going to be removed after 20 years? The people there decided they didn’t want the tower to be removed. The French have a nickname for the tower which is La Dame de Fer, “The Iron Lady”. These are just some of the amazing facts about the Eiffel Tower.
The Eiffel tower is located in Paris, France. The tower was built on four lattice-girder pilers that taper inward to form a single large vertical tower. There are four semicircular arches at the tower’s base and are purely aesthetic elements that serve no structural function. The materials used were wrought iron and it was painted with 60 tons of paint to protect it from the elements. It has been repainted 18 times. The tower is 1,063 feet tall, including the antenna. The Eiffel Tower weighs exactly 10,000 tons. Those are just a few facts about the Eiffel Tower that describes this wonder.
Have you ever wondered who created the Eiffel Tower? This paragraph will explain who created it, how it was built, and why it was created. Gustave Eiffel was a French engineer who designed and oversaw the construction of the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower began construction on January 28, 1887 and ended on March 31, 1889. The tower was constructed to commemorate the centennial of the French Revolution and to demonstrate France's industrial prowess to the world. The tower was created with wrought iron making it easier to build it. This is who, when, why, and how the Eiffel tower was created.
The following paragraph entails the culture of the Eiffel tower. Today, the Eiffel Tower is mostly used for tourism. Interestingly, there are restaurants and gift shops on the various floors of the Eiffel Tower. The Gustave Eiffel reception room is a place where you can hold professional events. The room does cost a considerable amount of money to rent but it is a very special place to hold an event. In Euros the room costs 7500 € or around $9,059.25 in US dollars. The most recent improvement happened in 2011. This improvement included a first-floor facelift and modernized style. Other improvements happened in years prior in 1890, 1900, 1937, and 1982. The Eiffel Tower is a major tourist attraction that has an effect on local culture. Therefore, it also causes a financial impact by drawing millions of people to Paris, therefore bringing large amounts of money to France from other countries causing the area’s economy to benefit. This wraps up the culture of the Eiffel tower.
This final paragraph will conclude my study of this picturesque monument.
I agree that the Eiffel tower should be classified as a “Wonder of the World” because it is the most visited world wide monument and is stunning to look at both day and night. Over 75% of the Eiffel Tower’s visitors are foreigners and could be called a modern-day tower of Babel, because of all the different types of people drawn to see it. Genesis 11:4 states, “Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens,” It is amazing how God gave us the ability to work with our hands and bodies as well as use our minds to invent and build. Nonetheless, God is the ultimate architect. John 1:3 says, “Through him, all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made.” Colossians 1:16 says, “For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.” People can be involved in supporting the Eiffel Tower by paying to have an event or by working/volunteering there. The Eiffel Tower is certainly a “Wonder of the World” and I hope to be blessed by seeing it someday myself.
