1. Pyramids of Giza, Egypt.

There are 80 existing pyramids in Egypt, the largest of which is the Pyramid of Giza built around 2600 BC. All of them were built artificially.

How did the ancient Egyptians carve rocks and build mausoleums? The layout of the internal passages and chambers of the tombs is like a maze.

The built pyramids were used as mausoleums.

The ancient Egyptians believed in eternal life after death, and the tombs in the pyramids were originally filled with gold and various valuables.

2. Colossus of Olympian Zeus.

The Temple of Zeus itself is a Doricorder building, and many of the statues on the herringbone eaves in the west of the temple are entirely in the style of Athens.

As for the protagonist of the temple, Zeus, the so-called "chryselephantine" technology is used, which is to add ivory-carved muscles and gold clothing to a wooden frame.

The throne is also made of wood with a gold base and is inlaid with ebony, precious stones and glass. It took eight years to complete.

3. The Colossus of Rhodes.

The Colossus of Rhodes in Greece is the most mysterious of the seven wonders. This colossus was built at the entrance to the sea in the port of Rhodes.

It is a bronze statue of the Greek sun god Helios, about 33 meters high.

Because it was destroyed by an earthquake in 226 BC in just 56 years, archaeologists have not even been able to determine its exact location and appearance.

4. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are of course not suspended in the air. The name comes from the fact that people mistranslated the original Greek word "kremastos" and the Latin word "pensilis" (which in addition to "hanging" also means "protruding") into

Caused by "hanging".

Like the Colossus of Rhodes, archaeologists have yet to find the remains of the Hanging Gardens.

5. Temple of Artemis.

The temple architecture is based on marble and is covered with a wooden roof.

The designers of the entire building are Qiao Xihong and his sons. Its biggest feature is that there are two rows of at least 106 columns inside, each about 12 to 18 meters high.

The base of the temple is approximately 60 by 120 meters.

6. Tomb of King Mausolus.

This great white marble mausoleum was built for Mausolus and his wife.

The entire building was designed by two Greek designers. The outside is decorated with strange carvings and there is a statue of Mausolus on the top.

It became famous as soon as it was built, but was destroyed by a major earthquake in the early 3rd century AD.

7. Lighthouse of Alexandria.

The Pharos Lighthouse in Alexandria was built on an artificial island in 300 BC on the orders of Ptolemy, the first pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty who ruled Egypt after Alexander the Great (King of Macedon).

Due to vague historical records, it is estimated to be between 115 and 150 meters (377 and 492 feet) tall and built of shiny white limestone or marble.

8. The Seven Wonders of the World refer to the seven magnificent man-made landscapes in the world known to ancient Westerners.

The first person to propose the idea of ??the Seven Wonders of the World was the traveler Antiparker in the third century BC. Another idea was put forward by the Byzantine scientist Philo in the second century BC.

Since most of the above-mentioned miracles have been destroyed, later generations proposed the seven medieval wonders of the world.

In addition, American Lowell Thomas also proposed the seven natural wonders of the world.

In 2001, the New Seven Wonders Foundation (founded in 2001 by Frenchman Bernard Weber) launched an online election for the New Seven Wonders.
