    It bothers me that it doesn’t say how tall the original is. 330 meters if anyone else was wondering.

      That is about 4715 big Macs tall for my fellow Americans.

      Thanks for that. That means the pictograms are (kind of) to scale!

      So the Vegas one is essentially a 1:2 scale model

      That’s common knowledge, you don’t even know that? What do you mean, “frenchie detected”?!

      (Jokes aside, I think that is why, noticing the small text in french at the bottom left of a map, they probably assume you already know cause its targeted toward french people)

        Is this something most French people know? I don’t know the height of any of the major monuments in the USA but I guess we don’t have one single monument that’s as synonymous with the whole country.

          Whoever made these maps definitely knew about it lmao

          I’m pretty sure that its general knowledge though, I don’t remember if I learned the height in school
