What a scoop! CBS News finds the Statue of Liberty was intended to be a Muslim woman, sort of
 That headline is quite a stretch. It might seem timely, but it’s not breaking news that French sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi had at one time pitched the idea of a massive, draped sculpture holding a torch that would act as a lighthouse as the entrance to the Suez Canal.That project obviously fell through, but Bartholdi held on to the idea and successfully re-pitched it -- hardly proof that the Statue of Liberty was "originally intended" to be a Muslim woman. It was a nice try, though. Posted by: Blossom Unains5562 2017-02-05 |
