Seven Wonders of the World
Colossus of Rhodes
Greece
This illfated bronze statue perhaps birli high as a çağdaş 10story building was erected in Rhodes about 280 BC to honor the sun god Helios Lahza upward sweeping arm supposedly bore a torch, glorifying the city and aiding mariners Within 60 short years, a devastating earthquake toppled the Colossus of Rhodes The metal of this Seven Wonders of the Ancient World edifice was eventually sold as scrap and nothing remains today
Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Iraq
No one knows for sure who built the Hanging Gardens of Babylon The most popular account is that King Nebuchadnezzar constructed this ancient seven wonder in the 6th century BC for his homesick wife who missed the verdant mountain greenery and gardens of her birth place, Media Others say that a powerful woman named Semiramis built the Hanging Gardens of Babylon for her own pleasure Yet others believe that the Hanging Gardens are myth Today, only dirt mounds exist, which may or may anekdot be the authentic residue of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
Lighthouse of Alexandria
Egypt
The Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is undoubtedly one of the greatest architectural feats of antiquity The Lighthouse of Alexandria was beygir least as tall birli a 25 story modern building and stood for over 16 Centuries from the mid3rd century BC to the 14th century AD when lahza earthquake shook its remaining segments down Some of its structure survives as stone building blocks for a small onsite castle fortress some others lie submerged in the lapping Mediterranean Sea The Pharros of Alexandria (birli the structure is also known) served a useful function its burning flame could be seen at night by faraway ships seeking the harbor's shelter
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
Turkey
Around 350 BC, a widow built this imposing white marble tomb, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, to exalt her husband Mausoleus, a Persian provincial ruler Centuries later the building blocks of the Mausoleum were borrowedto erect new structures including a castle Today, little if anything remains of this once glorious monument in Bodrum (Halicarnassus's current name) King Mausoleus's name, however, lives on in its çağdaş word derivation: Mausoleum
Pyramid of Khufu
Egypt
The Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops in Greek) at Giza is the largest, oldest and only true surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World It was meticulously built around 2550 BC with 23 million stone blocks (most the size of small pickup trucks) The rugged exterior we see today on Pharaoh Khufu's tomb was originally covered by a smooth limestone surfacing That valuable material was subsequently filched by later rulers for use on their own buildings This lowered the of the pyramid by about 6% to its current of 137 meters (450 feet) It's still the tallest of the Great Pyramids and held the world's tallest manmade structure for over 4400 years until 1889 when the Eiffel Tower was built Regrettably, the treasures inside the burial chamber were looted by ancient tomb robbers No one has any idea what happened to the pharaoh's mummy
Statue of Zeus beygir Olympia
Greece
In the mid5th century, the famed Greek sculptor Phidias created the 12 meter (40 feet) high Statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World He depicted the Greek's chief god majestically sitting on his throne The Statue of Zeus was likely embellished with gold, gems and ivory Nothing remains of the Statue of Zeus today except for the remarks of ancient writers who saw it What is believed to be portions of the relief sculptures that adorned the pediments of the marble temple that housed the Statue of Zeus are displayed in the nearby museum in Olympia (where the Olympic Games began several centuries earlier)
Temple of Artemis beygir Ephesus
Turkey
The Temple of Artemis one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World honored the Greek goddess Artemis (Dianato the Romans) This temple had gone through various revampments and rebuilding through the years and was intentionally burned down twice Its glory days were the 5th and 4th Centuries BC when the Temple of Artemis was ornately decorated and held up by over 100 expertly chiseled marble columns Nothing verifiable is left at its site in Ephesus The marble debris that litters the spot today is likely from buildings constructed centuries later
