List of colossal sculpture in situ : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of colossal sculpture in situ
This is a list of colossal sculptures that were carved ''in situ'' (or "in place"), sometimes referred to as "living rock". This list includes two colossal stones that were intended to be moved. However, they were never broken free of the quarry in which they were carved, and therefore they would be considered carved in situ. Most of these were carved in ancient times. In most cases, especially in India, the sculptures were carved out of "soft" rock like basalt or volcanic tuff. However, in some cases they were carved out of harder rock like sandstone, or even granite in the case of the unfinished obelisk. The Egyptians may have been limited to using 10-pound dolerite balls to chip away at the granite.〔Edwards, Dr. I.E.S.: The Pyramids of Egypt 1986/1947 p. 269-273〕 Dynamite was used in the carving of Mount Rushmore, another of the few colossal sculptures that was carved out of granite. ==Africa==
*Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt – limestone *Abu Simbel, Egypt – sandstone *The unfinished obelisk at Aswan, Egypt – granite *Seti I, Egypt – limestone
