The statue of Christ overlooking Rio de Janeiro was reinaugurated Wednesday after a renovation costing four million dollars.
The renovation of the statue was financed by Brazilian mining giant Vale and the Roman Catholic archdiocese of Rio.
The Christ the Redeemer statue, which has towered over the city for nearly 80 years, is located at the peak of the Corcovado mountain overlooking the city.


The world’s “most valuable” Internet domain name, sex.com, went up for grabs on Thursday having fetched 12 million dollars in 2006.
“It happens very rarely that an Internet address of this calibre goes on sale,” Cologne-based Sedo said. “The sale of sex.com offers the new owner a unique opportunity to became market leader.”
Sedo, one of the world’s biggest trading platform for domain names, is selling sex.com on behalf of US firm Escom after creditors filed for insolvency protection.
