1. Two countries seem to dominate the lists for replicas: the U.S. and China. Perhaps these two want what they don't have! As seen in the picture, these two familiar staples of Egyptian culture have spawned many copies, including a replica of the Sphinx built in China in 2014 that caused controversy. However, these replicas can be found in what U.S. city?
