Not right wing but I honestly don’t mind a nice giant statue. The Prometheus one sounds pretty awesome actually.
Ozymandias.
Devs (2020). Giant statue of founder's daughter.

Even though people invoke him as symbolic literary figure representing the transience of power and human ambition, the actual person, Ramses II, accomplished many positive things.
For instance:
- strengthened Egypt's borders and secured trade routes, maintaining stability and prosperity
- the world's first recorded peace treaty with the Hittites
- prompted Egyptian religion, art, and culture on a grand scale
- lasting historical influence
Ramses II's reign marked the pinnacle of ancient Egyptian civilization.
