Very cool.

I wonder if there are detailed enough photos, if that could be done with some of the landmarks and treasurers destroyed by Islamic Radicals.

I’m thinking in particular about the giant stone Buddhas in Afghanistan that were destroyed by the Taliban.

That’s just incredible. I’d love to see both the original and the copy.

Seems the position of the statue’s hands hold some meaning for the acolytes of this version of Buddha.

Other regions see things differently

We may need it to recreate all those Confederate Statues they’re taking down.
