The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World

are a collection of landmarks, including

buildings and statues, that became fa-

mous for their size and the skill required

to build them. They were amazing feats

of art and architecture. Greek travelers

in the 1st and 2nd century BC wrote of

these wonders in guidebooks.



The Lighthouse of Alexandria was built

between 280 and 247 BC on an island

near Alexandria, Egypt. It guided boats

into the Alexandria harbor. For centuries

it was the tallest structure on Earth. An

earthquake may have caused it to fall

into the sea. It can be viewed today on

the ocean floor off the Egyptian coast.



The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest

and largest of the three pyramids near

El Giza, Egypt. The oldest of the Seven

Wonders of the Ancient World, it’s the

  only one still in existence. It was built as

  a tomb for fourth dynasty Egyptian

  Pharaoh Khufu. It was the tallest struc-

  ture in the world for almost 4000 years.



The Temple of Artemis was a Greek

temple dedicated to a goddess

Greeks identified as Artemis. It was

sited at Ephesus (in present-day Tur-

key), and was completely rebuilt three

times before its eventual destruction in

401. Only the foundation and some

fragments of the building remain.




The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was

made by the Greek sculptor Phidias,

circa 432 BC on the site where it was

erected in the Temple of Zeus, Olym-

pia, Greece. It was made of ivory and

gold-covered bronze. None of it re-

mains, although its image can be

found on Greek coins from that time.
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was a

tomb built between 353 and 350 BC at

Halicarnassus (now Bodrum, Turkey) for

Mausolus, a satrap (governor) in the

Persian Empire, and his wife Artemisia II

of Caria. The structure was designed

by Greek architects. It was decorated

with statues of people and animals.



The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were

built in the ancient city-state of Baby-

lon, near present-day Al Hillah, Babil, in

Iraq. The gardens were built by the

Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II

around 600 BC. He constructed the

gardens for his wife, who longed for

the trees and plants of her homeland.




The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of

the Greek god Helios, built on the

Greek island of Rhodes between 292

and 280 BC. It stood over 107 ft (30 m)

high, making it one of the tallest statues

of the ancient world. Made of iron and

brass atop a marble pedestal, it was

destroyed in an earthquake in 226 BC.
