It bothers me that it doesn't say how tall the original is. 330 meters if anyone else was wondering.
That is about 4715 big Macs tall for my fellow Americans.
For Real Americans, the Eiffel Tower is 162 Hulk Hogans high, and weighs approximately 72993 Hulk Hogans.
It can shrink up to 150mm from summer to winter.
Same.
Thanks for that. That means the pictograms are (kind of) to scale!
300 (or 301?) meters for the tower + antennas that have added to the height in various calibres up to 330 today.
That's common knowledge, you don't even know that? What do you mean, "frenchie detected"?!
(Jokes aside, I think that is why, noticing the small text in french at the bottom left of a map, they probably assume you already know cause its targeted toward french people)
Is this something most French people know? I don't know the height of any of the major monuments in the USA but I guess we don't have one single monument that's as synonymous with the whole country.
Whoever made these maps definitely knew about it lmao
I'm pretty sure that its general knowledge though, I don't remember if I learned the height in school
I was looking for that, too. Thanks!
So the Vegas one is essentially a 1:2 scale model
