The Eiffel Tower was built for the World's Fair in Paris in 1889 and was initially designed to be dismantled when the fair was over. Construction began in 1887 when they laid the foundations by creating 2m thick concrete slabs under each of the feet. As two of the feet run alongside the river Seine engineers were worried water would creep in, so they created metal shoe structures which kept the French water at bay. A bit like a pair of welly boots. To build the main body they shipped in 18,000 different parts that were prefabricated in a factory and they put them together on site at the banks of the Seine using a whopping 2.5 million rivets. Construction was completed on 31st March 1889 and Gustave Eiffel was the very first person to climb ALL the 1,710 steps! It remained as the world's tallest structure in the world for 40 years! If the thought of climbing the Eiffel Tower makes you dizzy have a look at James' vid on why we're afraid of heights http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv191JDxYyE&list=PLMrtJn-MOYmfqNgyPxx6NYMZnd25y4shc&index=25 If you'd like to build a lift into space check out James' advice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=annVRxRjj4c&list=PLMrtJn-MOYmfqNgyPxx6NYMZnd25y4shc&index=21 Check out Jheni's favourite Head Squeeze videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IRSpIBqCYg Or to find out what the tallest building in the world is check out Jheni's video on the Burj Kalifa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czG0zynnL2c&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLMrtJn-MOYme6klSjJXoZfWmNZ6ZthOSA http://www.youtube.com/user/HeadsqueezeTV http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=HeadsqueezeTV

You said over 3 times the hight of Big Ben. Big ben is only 2.29 m tall. I Think you should have said over three times the hight of the Elizabeth Tower.
