Perspective is important.

For instance, you've probably seen a traffic light nearly every day of your life.

But did you know that they're this big?

Yep.

Pretty massive, right?

If you thought that was amazing, just wait until you see the rest of these photos.

You’ve seen plenty of pictures of the Great Pyramid of Giza, but unless you’ve seen it in person, this photo will probably surprise you.

Yep, this is the actual flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write our national anthem.

The reason it’s missing a star (and a bunch of pieces on the right side) is that they used to cut off pieces to give away as souvenirs. (Whoops.)

The Statue of Liberty's torch:

Pieces of the Statue of Liberty were put on display before the entire structure was assembled.

And if you think the torch is impressive, just wait until you see this next item.
