Ok, nice try my clients in Paris. But this isn’t 3D enough to go into my list 🙂 #EiffelTowers

jon, 1 month ago to random

OK, this was too niche, even for Mastodon

Here are the answers
Number 1 - Ukraine 🇺🇦 - 109 #EiffelTowers, 36.7m people, 2.97 per million inhabitants
2 - Estonia 🇪🇪 - 2 Towers, 1.3m people, 1.54 per million
3 - Lithuania 🇱🇹 - 4 Towers, 2.7m people, 1.48 per million
4 - Macau 🇲🇴 - 1 Tower, 0.7m people, 1.43 per million
5 - Armenia 🇦🇲 - 3 Towers, 2.8m people, 1.07 per million

France 🇫🇷 has a paltry 39 towers, so just 0.6 per million

OK, today's #EiffelTowers quiz question

Without looking it up, there are only 5 countries in the world - 4 of them in Europe, 1 in Asia - that have more than 1 Eiffel Tower per million inhabitants (Eiffel Towers confirmed currently standing, includes the original, replicas, derivatives and resemblances)

Can you name all 5? I will edit this toot with the people who get the correct answers first 🙂

(Special administrative regions, colonies, territories are counted separately)

People are wonderful

Since posting this

• someone told me what happened to the Friesland tower and sent a video of it
• someone helped me work out a tower in Korea had moved
• I was sent details of a tower in Italy I was missing
• I’ve been contacted about photos of the IJzendijke tower

Keep the #EiffelTowers suggestions coming! https://gruene.social/@jon/112226234302225916

Right

Now the #EiffelTowers map is ready as well! 💪

Now over 470 towers mapped

Full zoomable map
https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/eiffel-towers-derivatives-and-replicas_1006050#3/22.35/11.87

Can you help me confirm the status of the ones with the ? icons? Can you send me a picture to use for the ones without one? Any towers I am missing?

Next: update the blog post about this (not today!)

I’ve been working on this on and off for months now, but I think my research listing the world's #EiffelTowers is for the moment complete

467 towers in my list (of which status unknown 31, and destroyed or never built 42)

Of the rest, 268 are to be found in Google Street View, 126 are not

And of the towers still likely standing today, 358 are replicas, 25 resemblances, 11 derivatives

Many but not all mapped here https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/eiffel-towers-derivatives-and-replicas_1006050#4/52.11/16.13

Next: complete the map 🙂

Europe has a lot of replica #EiffelTowers

And yes, Ukraine has more towers per head of population than anywhere else - by a considerable distance

The ones I am confident still stand - whether shown in Google Street View or not - are now mapped. 365 towers
https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/eiffel-towers-derivatives-and-replicas_1006050#5/49.468/20.676

Next to map towers removed for some reason, or ones where the status is unknown…

So my new, much improved, map of all the #EiffelTowers in the world is progressing

So far 105 towers are in the new map (c. 200 more to go - moving them from my original blog post)

Have been doing a bit of #EiffelTowers sleuthing, and improving the mapping and data I have on the towers...

Only 35 towers are in the new system using umap, but I am happy with the progress http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/eiffel-towers-derivatives-and-replicas_1006050

The original blog post - now a mess with more than 200 towers https://jonworth.eu/the-weird-and-wonderful-world-of-eiffel-tower-replicas-and-derivatives-geoguessr/

Thanks @AnnaRami (for a new one in Biarritz), @RichardKogelnig (for a new one in Washington DC) and especially Daniel, an old friend of mine on Facebook, who found... 🥁 the first Eiffel Tower on Google Street View for me in Tiraspol, Moldova 🇲🇩

Photo sphere, horrid quality, but in it goes!

176 #EiffelTowers now found in Street View, and listed on my blog https://jonworth.eu/the-weird-and-wonderful-world-of-eiffel-tower-replicas-and-derivatives-geoguessr/ and in Geoguessr https://www.geoguessr.com/maps/60451069abd02500012138c9/play
