Regarding the whereabouts of the colossus of the sun god, some people say that it was because the bronze statue could not be erected again and was decomposed and melted into other utensils in the 7th century. Some people say that the bronze statue was stolen and the stolen ship sank with the wind at sea. Future generations can only imagine its scale according to the brief records in the history books. It is said that the Statue of Liberty in New York, USA, is based on the colossus of the sun god, holding a torch and wearing a crown of light with the shadow of the colossus of the sun god.

The efforts of archaeologists seem to bring a glimmer of hope for understanding the truth. With the deepening of the archaeological excavation in Rhodes, a coin in the 3rd century BC attracted people's attention. This coin has the head of Helias, the sun god. According to expert appraisal, this portrait is a copy of the work of Harritas, the author of The Colossus of the Sun God.

But it is a pity that there is only the head of Helias on the copper coin, and there is no body. The attitude of the colossus cannot be speculated. Maybe one day, archaeologists can solve this eternal mystery for us.
