	Greeks to Rebuild Collossus? Suffering from ads?

I was watching a show about 7 wonders. And it looks like the greeks are going to rebuild the collussus in Rhodes in the next 20-30 years.

Is this true? It would be awesome

C'mon, I think it would awesome. I mean, rebuilding somthing like that over the harbor. Besides, you could say it looks better than the statue of liberty.

I thought it fell over and killed a bunch of people, and there was a omen that Rhodes would be destroyed if it was rebuilt.

Why do some countries not have anything better to do than mutulating rocks like that just to salute their own historical self image? It looks like something Stalin would do.

I'm agree... It's clear that french built it for puritan americans... If we built it for personnal pleasure, the statue wouldn't wear those uninteresting clothes !

Ahh you mean like Eurodisney?

Seriously, I was in Warsaw a few years ago and saw the old town and the castle. The fact that all of it was built after a the war but looked like it was hundred of years old, including the interiour of the castle was weird. I don't see the point at all.
