How Much It Would Cost to Build Famous Landmarks Today

- Stonehenge, the Taj Mahal, the Great Pyramid of Giza - all incredible historical monuments and impressive engineering feats! But have you ever wondered how much it would cost to build these awe-inspiring landmarks nowadays?
For example, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Pyramid of Giza was built around 4,000 years ago. The whole thing was made with more than 2 million limestone blocks, each weighing about 2.5 tons. And it took tens of thousands of workers up to 30 years to complete the construction! If you decided to build such a colossal monument nowadays, the total price tag would be a jaw-dropping $1.2 billion! But it isn’t even the most expensive!

SUMMARY:
- Let’s say you just want to make yourself a Big Ben Bell. You’ll need to get hold of $63,000 for copper, 67,000 for tin, 90,000 for the workers, and 3,000 for cranes and the whole installation process. In total, it’s $223,000.
- To build Statue of Liberty nowadays, you’d need $780,000 for the materials (copper, steel, and concrete) and half a million for the construction work. Meaning the total cost of your Statue of Liberty project would be almost $1.3 million.
- Stonehenge consists of two types of stones. So, that’ll be $1 million for the sarsen stones (the smaller ones), 100,000 for bluestones (those are the big ones), another 100,000 for trenching, and 2.3 million for the labor and cranes.
- If you decided to build your own Tower of Pisa, you’d need to spend almost $3 million on the white marble it’s made from. The cranes and labor would add 1.2 million to that.
- To build an Eiffel Tower in your backyard, you’d need the permission of your neighbors (good luck with that!) plus $1.2-million-worth of materials like iron, rivets, paint, and light bulbs.
- The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. If you wanted to create the same oasis for yourself, you’d have to spend 21.5 million on the materials and landscape designers. The workers will take their 10 million, and you can say goodbye to a total of $31.5 million.
- The Parthenon. These days, re-constructing the famous landmark would demand over $35 million!
- Machu Picchu. You would spend 57 million on the materials (mainly granite) and 13 million on the labor and cranes. A total of $70 million - and voila! You have a cool mountainous city!
- The Taj Mahal. To build one today, get ready to pay 3 million for the bricks, 23.5 million for the marble, 15 million for the garden, and 2.5 million for the dome!
- Built from stone and concrete, Rome’s Colosseum is the world's largest amphitheater. You’ll need $200 million…just for the limestone alone! The elliptical structure would be 215 million.
- The construction of the original wall took over 2,000 years to complete! It would cost you around 21 billion to get all the necessary materials. You’ll need the same amount to talk the builders into getting down to work.

Hey guys! Have you ever seen any of these landmarks?
Only the Colosseum 😢
I went to Agra three month ago to see taj mahal so beutyfull.
BRIGHT SIDE I went to The Great Wall Of China
At one place there, it was written that when this building was built, then its cost was 4 crores or 40 million rupees. When the price of gold was Rs 15 per 11.15 grams.
I have photo of that.
No :( ☹️
So billionaire can build one of these for fun .

U ever heard of Antilia in Mumbai?
The Video just mentioned the cost of making these places.
it does not account for location and council regulations or how much the Building/Monument is worth currently.
What like making space for it, all the papers and bills to sign and pay don't forget that.

Many landmarks in the Indian Subcontinent were destroyed by foolish conquerors .
I'm pretty sure that their overall building cost would exceed The Great Wall of China's building cost too .

Fun fact: In Stonehenge, most of the rocks were 30000g to 50000g (I think) and they had to pull it with a rope or with a boat, and then they had to drag it from Wales ALL THE WAY TO ENGLAND BY BOAT OR FOOT.

Fun fact: The Statue of Liberty wasnt always its iconic green color. The Statue of Liberty's exterior is made of copper, and it turned that shade of green because of oxidation. Copper is a noble metal, which means that it does not react readily with other substances. The Statue's copper is only three-thirty-seconds of an inch thick and unusually pure.

There is indeed a secret room in the Eiffel Tower. It's not actually a room but a small apartment located at the very top of the tower. It was conceived by Gustave Eiffel himself in 1889 as an observatory, personal apartment and laboratory for weather and radio experiments.
Jeff Bezos could afford everything on this list
The pyramids are in the center of mass of the earth, don’t think anybody can get something like that
Yeah True
@@Tsuyira Not Anymore
Imagine how many years would it take for the builders to build it
Remember there were no cranes when making these buildings
Ofcourse...but he said the *modern* way to build this monuments
yes I heard that clearly but my point is that the cost would have been much greater if workers with primitive tools are making the buildings
Official Frostbite its not impressive when ya know they had so many slaves working on them, not dozens but thousands of them

It include cost of architect, land, electronic, security features, pools, paintings, decoration, theatre etc items in it? They didnt count any in great wall of china, pyramid of giza. Else 13 thousand miles land may cost only 100s of billion
Still built on a poor landmarks

rebuilding Ravan's Lanka would cost you even more than the sum of all of these iconic structures 😁😁

Building in a liberal city? Well if your build cost is 500,000 than your going to need at least 3 million to build, you got building permits, environmental permits, grease the palms of a few people, oh and the local labor union and mob want to have a chat with you as well
