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 isnt even the most expensive! Date: 2022-04-19
