On 28 October 1886, the Pride statue of the United States was inaugurated after a lengthy process. The statue of Libery is done in two different cities.
The process of building Lady Liberty began in Paris in 1877. Charlotte Beysser Bartholdi, the sculptor of the statue of Liberty recruited the famous designer, Gustave Eiffel, to help the statue's buffer structure.
Eiffel designed an innovative and flexible iron frame, which allowed the sculpture to shift in the wind, but had no cracks at all. Meanwhile, in New York, construction of the base of the sculpture lasted slowly due to shortage of funds.
In 1885, the statue of Liberty was demolished and sent across the sea to New York. After its collision was completed on April 1886, the statue was reassembled by the workers hanging on the rope.
The robe was inflicted on a feminine side so that the statue was also nicknamed "Lady Liberty". Although the history records, the figure Lady Liberty refers to the goddess Libertas.

It was revealed that Bartholdi had stayed in Egypt from 1855 to 1856. He wanted to build a colossal statue for Egypt with great size. To that end, he intended to follow the development competition of the Egyptian lighthouse Tower in 1869.
At that time, he saw a cloaked woman carrying a torch to illuminate all the sailors from the darkness of the Suez canal. Since then also Bartholdi inspired making tower sculptures.
He proposed a proposal in the competition titled Egypts Brings Lights to Asia meaning Egyptian light bearer for Asia. Unfortunately, the biggest statue development proposal for Egypt was rejected.
