Today’s Final Jeopardy 1/17/2024 (19th-Century America) – Wednesday, January 17 2024
An 1884 article calls this newly completed structure “the highest work of man” & disagrees with those who call it “a great chimney”
Today’s Final Jeopardy Answer – Wednesday, January 17 2024
The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Washington Monument
Final Jeopardy Explanation – Wednesday, January 17 2024
The 1884 article that describes a newly completed structure as “the highest work of man” and counters the view of it being “a great chimney” is referring to the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. Completed in the same year, the Washington Monument was then the tallest building in the world. This obelisk, built to honor George Washington, the first President of the United States, stands at over 555 feet tall.
At the time of its completion, the monument’s impressive height and stark, unadorned design led some to liken it to a chimney. However, the article’s reference to it as “the highest work of man” reflects a recognition of its architectural and symbolic significance, emphasizing the monument’s role as a tribute to one of the nation’s foundational leaders. The Washington Monument, with its simple yet imposing structure, has since become an iconic part of the Washington, D.C. skyline and a symbol of national heritage.
