If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural cause.
The Statue of Liberty was a gift from france, is made of copper and is now green in colour because of oxidation from evaporation of the seawater surrounding it. It has seven spikes to represent the seven continents. |
