Wonderful to see, loved the moving walkway. It makes you want to jump into the screen and tell them how different life would be 120 years from then.

Little did Eiffel know that his tower would last for more than a century and draw attention from all over the world...

#5, well, it was built for the 1889 World's Fair, with the only purpose to be contemplated by people coming from all over the world (it was devised as the fair's centerpiece). The cost and the chosen site tell us they built it as a lasting monument. So, I believe Eiffel knew, or at least hoped.

"Eiffel had a permit for the tower to stand for 20 years. It was to be dismantled in 1909, when its ownership would revert to the City of Paris. The City had planned to tear it down (part of the original contest rules for designing a tower was that it should be easy to dismantle) but as the tower proved to be valuable for communication purposes, it was allowed to remain after the expiry of the permit."
