This monument at first was built in 1928 by Astronomical Expedition Team from Dutch. In 1938, it was re-built with some improvement by Opzicter Silaban, an architect. In 1990 it was re-built again by duplicating it in a bigger size. The size was five times bigger than the original and it was meant to protect the original statue. The monument has four poles, a sketch of world with an arrow. It was accredited on September 21, 1991.
