By comparison, the Angel of Independence in Mexico City was constructed in 1902 on top of wooden pilings sunk into the soft ground. The streets around the monument have sunk so much that there are now an additional 14 steps leading from ground level up to the base of the monument. Meanwhile the monument has remained secure, and upright. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Ángel
