How to use "Colossal" in context?

There is no one definitive answer to the question of what qualifies as a colossal. Generally speaking, a colossal is anything that is significantly taller than ordinary people, with some exceptions. For example, The Great Pyramid of Giza, which is the tallest man-made structure in the world, is not considered a colossal because it is only slightly taller than the average person.

The first monumental colossal sculptures were erected in the Middle Ages, when churches began to commission large stone statues of saints and the Hand of God to adorn their spires.
