125ft Buddha statue, of the Buddhas of Bamiyan, Afghanistan. It stood from approximately 570 until 2001.

It was one of two large Buddha statues in the Bamiyan valley, but they were destroyed in 2001 by the Taliban.
I remember hearing about this in 2001 and feeling the same, but they were already mostly destroyed by then. As you can see from images beforehand, both were missing the face and multiple limbs.
