Cele 7 minuni ale lumii

Statue of Zeus at Olimpia: was a giant seated


figure, about 13 m tall made by the Greek sculptor
Phidias around 435 BC at the sanctuary of Olympia,
Greece, and erected in the Temple of Zeus there.A
sculpture of ivory plates and gold panels over a wooden
framework, it represented the god Zeus sitting on an
elaborate cedar wood throne ornamented with ebony,
ivory, gold and precious stones.

Temple of Artemis: also known less precisely as


the Temple of Diana, was a Greek temple dedicated to an
ancient, local form of the goddess Artemis.It was located
in Ephesus.It was completely rebuilt three times, and in
its final form was one of the Seven Wonders of the
Ancient World.

Hanging Gardens of Babylon: were one of the


Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, a term given to it
by ancient Hellenic culture.The Hanging Gardens were
described as a remarkable feat of engineering with an
ascending series of tiered gardens containing a wide
variety of trees, shrubs, and vines. The gardens were said
to have looked like a large green mountain constructed of
mud bricks.

Lighthouse of Alexandria: sometimes called the


Pharos of Alexandria, was a lighthouse built by the
Ptolemaic Kingdom between 280 and 247 BC which has
been estimated to be 100 metres in overall height. For
many centuries it was one of the tallest man-made
structures in the world.Badly damaged by three
earthquakes between AD 956 and 1323, it then became
an abandoned ruin.

Mausoleum at Halicarnassus: was a tomb


built between 353 and 350 BC at Halicarnassus (present
Bodrum, Turkey) for Mausolus, a satrap in the Persian
Empire, and his sister-wife Artemisia II of Caria. The
structure was designed by the Greek architects Satyros
and Pythius of Priene.

Great Pyramid of Giza: is the oldest and largest


of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex
bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of
the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only
one to remain largely intact.

Colossus of Rhodes: was a statue of the Greek


titan-god of the sun Helios, erected in the city of Rhodes,
on the Greek island of the same name, by Chares of
Lindos in 280 BC. It was constructed to celebrate Rhodes'
victory over the ruler of Cyprus, Antigonus I
Monophthalmus, whose son unsuccessfully besieged
Rhodes in 305 BC.
