Abu Dhabi to construct world's largest sculpture

Abu Dhabi is set to construct the world's biggest sculpture, which will be similar in size to The Great Pyramid of Giza.
Looking surprisingly similar to Egypt's historic tourism icon, the 150 metre flat-topped pyramid is expected to be made out 400,000 multi-coloured oil barrels and cost up to $325 million to build.
Designed by Bulgarian-born artist, Christo, the sculpture will be built in the desert 161 kilometres away from Abu Dhabi and take over two years to construct.
Although Christos said the idea for the sculpture was put together more than 30 years ago, conflict in the region prevented the piece from receiving approval.
New Ltd quoted Christo as stating "when the sun rises, the vertical wall will become almost full of gold."
In building the project Christo is reportedly being backed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed al-Nayhan, son of the former Emir of Abu Dhabi.
