Statue of Liberty inspired by Arab woman, researchers say
The
Statue of Liberty, a symbol of democracy and freedom that has greeted
countless immigrants to US shores, was inspired by a project
representing an Arab woman guarding the Suez Canal, researchers said.
The recent findings are especially startling for some in the United
