Lucas Sayre submitted this amazing photo where you can see humanly shaped Statue of Liberty. Originaly titled “Human Statue of Liberty”, this image was taken at Camp Dodge in Iowa and used eighteen thousand men. I collected bunch more and added them to the set. Luke also asked all of as a question. Here it is: “During the WWI years, Arthur S. Mole and John D. Thomas made some incredible human pictures by using thousands of sailors or soldiers in uniform to create images. After looking at the photo, which purports to involve over 18,000 soldiers, I can’t tell if it’s fake or real. If it is real, it seems to me that there would have to be more soldiers to make up the statute as it goes up and away from the perspective of the camera, in order to maintain the shape of the statue of liberty. Maybe your readers can decipher how it was done.”

    As unbelievable as they may seem, they ARE REAL. Not everything we see is an illusion… especially something this dated. Look at them again, and enjoy, … because you are not being tricked this time.
