Nobody knows for certain what the meaning of these statues are, but is is widely believed that they represent sports of ancestors, chiefs, or other high ranking males who held important history of the Rapa Nui of Easter Island. For a long time scientists had no idea what their purpose was or how they were moved to where they stand today, considering they weigh tons, However, evidence has recently been found that the Moai were central to the Rapa Nui's idea of fertility of soil and their presence stimulated food production. We also now know that they used sled-like contraptions to manually "walk" the statues to where they wanted them to be. I have always thought these statues were interesting because for a long time nobody knew much about them, and they also were so different from any statue I have ever seen. They are not necessarily beautiful or realistic but I think that is what makes them interesting.  ]]> 2021-03-04 23:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/whitneybedford/2pt52jjp4zpjyi8b/wish/1271640612 anyaavedissian https://padlet.com/whitneybedford/2pt52jjp4zpjyi8b/wish/1271686553 2021-03-04 23:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/whitneybedford/2pt52jjp4zpjyi8b/wish/1271686553 anyaavedissian https://padlet.com/whitneybedford/2pt52jjp4zpjyi8b/wish/1271688874 This monument is the Tsitsernagapert Armenian Genocide memorial complex dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide. It was built in 1967 in Yerevan, Armenia. The 12 slabs positioned in a circle represent the rebirth of Armenians and the 12 lost provinces in present-day Turkey. In the center there is an eternal flame dedicated to the victims. This monument has an impressive design as it is set on a hill dominating the landscape. From the inside of the monument the slabs inwardly guide ur eye to the center towards the sky.

You see the perspective from the front, with the columns and outer buildings pointing inward towards the inner space that only the Pharaoh could enter for religious practices. It takes you through various rooms and experiences with different perspectives- only certain classes could enter certain spaces as well. Some rooms were in light, and some in shadow to create the illusion that you are entering a religious space. ]]> 2021-03-05 00:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/whitneybedford/2pt52jjp4zpjyi8b/wish/1271857022 anacuna3 https://padlet.com/whitneybedford/2pt52jjp4zpjyi8b/wish/1271860145 The World's largest can of coke in Canada.

I find this monument to be very interesting because of the evolution of the meaning behind this piece of architecture. The Eiffel Tower was originally created for the World’s fair in 1889 as a show of industrial power and to honor the French Revolution. However, the thing that I find most interesting is that although this tower was built in order to show power and honor a war that was so deadly it has evolved to become a symbol of love and romantics which is very different compared to its original meaning. I think that this tower is successful in its design and perspective due to the height that it has compared to everything else around it, making it stand out against every other piece of architecture. ]]> 2021-03-05 00:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/whitneybedford/2pt52jjp4zpjyi8b/wish/1271874251 jrose641 https://padlet.com/whitneybedford/2pt52jjp4zpjyi8b/wish/1271875096 Gaudí building

I was able to spend a few months traveling throughout Croatia but Dubrovnik was the true hidden gem in my eyes. The city has multiple castles that are made with brick and stone by hand thousands and thousands of years ago.
