The Sears Tower, completed May 3, 1973, rises to a height of 1,450 feet and is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the Chicago skyline and in the world. The Sears tower held the record for the world’s tallest building for 25 years until the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia were built in 1998. Then in the Fall of 2004 Taipei 101 took all but one title -- tallest to the tips of the antennas, which the Sears Tower still owns. Including the Sears Tower antennas, the total height of the Sears Tower increases to 1,725 feet. Designed by the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill for Sears, Roebuck & Company, the world’s largest retailer at the time, the 3.8 million RSF building is the preeminent office address in Chicago and one of the premier properties in the world. The property provides an irreplaceable West Loop location, unparalleled views from all of the property’s highly efficient floors and an unmatched prestige.

At around half the height of the Eiffel Tower, the Great Pyramid in Egypt was the world’s tallest building for over 4,000 years. An engineering feat of magnificent scale and astonishing precision, its four triangular sides rise at an angle of 51.5 degrees. By each side of the pyramid meets at the apex – 146.5m above its perfectly level base – they deviate by just half a metre.\n\n An amazing 2.3 million blocks, weighing between two and 70 tons, were all hand-carved to create the structure.

Arc de Triomphe on the Place de l'Étoile. \n\nNapoleon Bonaparte built this monument for the glorification of his French Army. His victorious troops would march on through the arch cheered by the population of Paris. This never happened thanks to General Wellington who defeated Napoléon at Waterloo in 1815.  It was finished in 1836 and is decorated with bas-reliefs depicting scenes from the revolutionary era. In 1921, the tomb of an unknown soldier was added in remembrance of 1.5 million soldier victims of WWI.\n\nDo you need more than than?  :)
