Answer 2

5 monuments & temples constructed of granite or rocks.

Explanation:

Granite is an igneous rock composed of a variety of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, micas, amphiboles, and other minerals.

1. Mount Rushmore (South Dakota): Mount Rushmore was sculpted out of a mountain that had been exposed to the elements. Although construction began in 1927, the monument took 14 years to complete. During the construction of this granite monument, 450,000 tons of rock were extracted from the Earth.
2. Brihadeeswarar Temple (India): The Hindu god Shiva is honored in this granite temple. This temple, which was built between 1003 and 1010 AD, is one of the world’s largest. The Sanctum of the temple is marked by a 216-foot tall tower that was built with approximately 130,000 tons of granite.
3. Amenhotep III (London): The head of the King of Thebes, a massive red granite statue that used to stand at the temple of Mut at Karnak in Egypt, is on display at the British Museum in London. This head was discovered about 1370 BC, according to archaeologists. Despite indications that the face has been altered in the past, the carvers of this granite monument were talented because the facial features are still recognizable.
4. Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain (London): The memorial is a fountain composed of 545 pieces of Cornish granite that were computer-shaped and then fitted together. The granite fountain cascades into a pool in two directions.
5. Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Washington, DC): The Vietnam Veterans Memorial was dedicated in 1982 and is made of polished black Indian granite, with the names of 58,000 Americans slain in the Vietnam War sandblasted in for all to see.
