Just watched National Treasure, those that have seen it know its about the Declaration of Independence.

I've been trying to explain to someone about some monument in the south of England that's similar to the monument that commemerates the signing that happened in America.

Does anybody know what i'm referring to as for the life of me can't recall what its called or where it is and i've been passed it loads!!

Its frustrating lol

 

The monument for the Declaration of Independence was only built by the US Government in 1976 and is a series of inscribed stones. It is close to the Washington monument, erected to commemorate George Washington.

That is a big obelisk, so if that's the one you are thinking of, I'd guess the English one you are after is Cleopatra's Needle in London? That, however, was erected to commemorate the British victory over Napoleon. There are a load of smaller obelisks all over the place but I'd be surprised if any of them were erected to commemorate the loss of the American colonies.

By the way, it is widely accepted that the US Declaration of Independence was inspired by and largely based on the Scottish Declaration of Arbroath.

 

ha ha erect

 

Nah its not in London, on the south coast somewhere.

I never said it was to do with the DoI, just a similar situation to it.

AFAIK its to the side of some major A road in the middle of a field on a hill :s lol

 

Moses and Noah signed a contract with Hitler to join forces against Genghis Khan and Al Barbar.
