You still don't know the disturbing theory behind the world's most famous statue? Pay attention till the end here and you're never gonna look at it the same way again. So do you know who this is a statue of right here? It's called the Lucifer of Liege made in 1848. Formerly titled La Génie du Mal, which translates to "the genius of evil." And this is exactly why. Because if you try to search up the origin story of the Statue of Liberty, it gives us, well, the common history we all know of Lady Liberty in NYC. So I had over to Emergent to build us something that can help us explore these hidden theories of the world, history doesn't talk about. Build me an interactive 3D map of the world that allows us to explore the alternative theories of famous sites and monuments... for entertainment purposes only. My lawyer told me to add that part. And just like that, it created Archivum Terra, a map featuring those uncommon theories of the world that we all love. Okay, let's zoom right into New York City so we can find... there it is. The Statue of Liberty. Let's see where this rabbit hole takes us. Because this is a statue of Lucifer, a fallen angel from heaven, commonly depicted as the devil who rebelled against God and was banished to Earth. And this statue in particular, the Lucifer of Liege, has some unmistakable details that feel very intentional. So the crown that Lucifer is holding here is one with seven points, allegedly symbolizing the seven deadly sins of man. Which just so happens to be the exact number of points found on the crown of the Statue of Liberty. Coincidence? Maybe. But we've barely even grazed the tip here. You might notice the Lucifer of Liege is also chained by the ankle, a symbol of his eternal imprisonment in the earthly realm. Surely, the Statue of Liberty representing, you know, freedom and liberty has no reason at all to be chained? Apparently no, because that is exactly what we find at the foot of Lady Liberty. A chain holding her down on the pedestal she stands on. Liberty definition: the condition of being free from confinement, servitude, or forced labor. So it totally makes sense to have a lady representing liberation to be chained by the ankle like some sort of prisoner. Don't question it now. And is this Lady Liberty? Have a closer look at her face and tell me if you see it too. Here it is, while it was still under construction. And here's the face of another statue of an actual lady for comparison. Do you see a difference here? Because now this is a famous painting of Lucifer or Satan from 1797. And well, here's the final side-by-side comparison with our Lady Liberty. And the resemblance is uncanny. Never mind a man, she straight up looks like the devil himself. Who at the base of the marble Lucifer of Liege seems to have dropped a scepter, a torch. Lucifer, the name translates from Latin to "the bringer of light." The bringer of light. And the shape that the Statue of Liberty happens to rest on. All very interesting and mildly disturbing connections to a figure that is commonly portrayed as the devil. Or maybe, you know, we're just reading into things too much, as per usual. With Lucifer also alternatively translating to "morning star," a star being the shape that the Statue of Liberty happens to rest on. And maybe, you know, we're just reading into things too much, as per usual.
