Exact Replica
In 2010 the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God started the construction of a replica of Salomon’s temple in São Paulo, Brazil.
According to Brazilian press reports, the building will be an "exact replica" ("uma réplica exata") of the ancient Temple of Solomon.
The mega-church will seat 10,000 worshipers and stand 180 feet tall, the height of an 18-story building.

Famous quotes related to exact replica:
“The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values.... Because myth anchors the present in the past it is a sociological charter for a future society which is an exact replica of the present one.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
