List of colossal sculpture in situFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article may require cleanup to mee t Wikipedia's quality

This is a list of colossal sculptures that were carvedin situ

(or "in place"), sometimes referredto 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. [1] Dynamite was used in the carving of Mount

Rushmore, another of the few colossal sculptures that was carved out of granite.
