As a matter of interest why does Mount Rushmore not count?

Jake, I'm guessing Mt Rushmore is not classified as a statue...ie in the round and free standing.

That, and the fact that the sphinx is larger...

If this is from the telegraph crossword, it is sphinx. Cartwright is wrong, it's wainwright - we just worked it out!
