SYMBOL OF AMERICA, STATUE OF LIBERTY, IS MADE OF ARMENIAN COPPER
|
I went into Google to verify this statement. I searched for "Did Henri de Gaulle manage copper mines in Akhtala, Armenia?". The answer was a definite YES, under the title "Symbol of America, Statue of Liberty, is made of Armenian copper".
SYMBOL OF AMERICA, STATUE OF LIBERTY, IS MADE OF ARMENIAN COPPER
Serob Ter-Pogosian, the president of Metal Prince, a US company owning Akhtala Ore Mining and Processing Works, has documentary proofs that the Statue of Liberty - built in France and granted to the United States - was made of copper extracted from Akhtala deposit in Lori region of Armenia. In the 1880s the father of the president of France
Charles de Gaulle, Henry de Gaulle, managed the prospecting activities
in Akhtala, which then was under concession of a French company. At that time the whole copper mined in Akhtala was taken to France. 225 tons of copper was spent on the construction of the statue. It was officially inaugurated by President Cleveland on Oct 28 1886.

Voglio qui aggiungere che nel 1889 il famoso archeologo francese Jacques De Morgan (1857-1924) visitņ la regione di Akhtalą e vi svolse intense ricerche scientifiche ed archologiche e scrisse di seguito il libro "Misssion Scientifique au Caucase" custodito nel Museo di S.Germain...
La regione č ricca di grotte preistoriche e di tombe apartenute a re e principi armeni come la famiglia Zakarian (principi Zakare ed Ivan).
Il rame di Akhtalą veniva esportato fino in Giappone Italia Francia Nell'XI ° secolo vi fł coniata la prima moneta armena del Regno di Cilicia ............
Ma della costruzione della Statua della Libertą non ero al corrente!
