Theory of wonders of the world
One of the Seven Wonders of the World: The Egyptian Pyramid was built around 2700-2500 BC. Location: The Pharaoh is the king of ancient Egypt on the Giza Plateau near Cairo, Egypt, and the pyramid is the tomb of the Pharaoh. Why did Pharaoh build the pyramids? How were the huge pyramids built? Some people say that the pyramids were built by aliens. What is the truth? According to legend, before the third dynasty in ancient Egypt, both princes and ministers and ordinary people were buried in a rectangular tomb made of mud bricks, which the ancient Egyptians called "Mastaba". Later, a clever young man named Imhotep invented a new building method when designing a mausoleum for the Egyptian Pharaoh Zuosai. He replaced the mud brick with the square stone he picked from the mountain, constantly revised the design scheme of building the mausoleum, and finally built a six-story trapezoidal pyramid-this is the prototype of the pyramid we see now. In ancient Egypt, the pyramids were trapezoidal and layered, so they were also called hierarchical pyramids. This is a tall pyramid building with a square base and a triangle on each side, which looks like the Chinese character "gold", so we call it "pyramid". The tower mausoleum designed by Imhotep is the first stone mausoleum in Egyptian history. Zeus, like the second of the Seven Wonders of the World, was built for In 457 Bc. Venue: Olympia, Greece. Around 450 BC, a huge statue was built in Olympia, Greece, the venue of the first Olympic Games (776 BC). This is a statue of Zeus. This is a beautifully decorated 40-foot-tall statue: Zeus was carved from ivory by the Greek sculptor phidias, sitting on the steps and made of gold. Zeus wore a crown on his head, the goddess of victory in his right hand and water in his left. Later, for security reasons, the Greeks decided to move it to Constantinople (now Istanbul). But it didn't save this great statue in the end. A fire in 462 AD completely destroyed the statue. In Olympia, only ruins are left. The third of the seven wonders of the world: the colossus of Rhodes was built at the end of the 4th century BC or the beginning of the 2nd century BC. Venue: Aegean Sea, Rhodes Island, Greece. Rhode Island is an important commercial center, which is located at the junction of the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Rhodes was founded in 408 BC. 10 feet high, that is, similar to the height of the famous Statue of Liberty in new york. The statue is hollow and reinforced with complex stones and iron columns. But this great statue was destroyed by a strong earthquake only 56 years after it was built. Legend has it that the statue stood on the harbor with its legs spread apart, and the ship passed between its legs. Imagine what a spectacular and interesting scene this is. Four of the Seven Wonders of the World: Mausoleum of Mo Solas The Mausoleum of Mo Solas was built around 353 BC. Venue: This huge white marble mausoleum is located in present-day southwest Turkey, and was built for Mo Solas and his wife.

There are still some remaining sculptures in the British Museum in London. Five of the Seven Wonders of the World: The Temple of themis (Diana) in Ephesus was built around 550 BC. It was built in the city-state of Ephesus in Greece. Now the temple buildings on the west coast of Turkey are based on marble and covered with wooden roofs. The designers of the whole building are Chersiphron and his son. Its biggest feature is that there are two rows of columns at least 106, each row is about 40 to 60 feet high. The base of this temple is about 200 feet wide and 400 feet long.
