Keep the comparison accurate
Great Pyramid of Giza. Present height and original height are different records; keep the date or historical state attached.
Elizabeth Tower. Big Ben is the bell. The 96-meter measurement belongs to Elizabeth Tower.
Eiffel Tower. Remember the antenna: 330 m describes the current full height, not just the original iron structure.
Burj Khalifa. A spire counts toward architectural height; the highest occupied floor is a different measurement.
The artwork is interpretive. The scene preserves relative vertical scale, while the source definitions explain differences such as antennas, pedestals, launch configurations, and fictional versions.
