Landmark heights from an ancient reconstructed apex to the tips of modern towers.

Inside Read the skyline
Use explicitly defined full heights; distinguish original and present-day measurements.
Read a skyline without perspective tricks
The Eiffel Tower, Tokyo Tower, Stuttgart TV Tower, Great Pyramid and Statue of Liberty form this height challenge. Tourist photographs often give each landmark its own dramatic viewpoint. Here, use the reference to imagine the structures together before setting the target’s height.
Count antennas, pedestals and the original apex
The tower measurements include their stated antennas, and the Statue of Liberty reference includes its pedestal. The Great Pyramid uses its reconstructed original height rather than the surviving height today. These boundaries matter: a familiar name can describe more than one legitimate measurement.
