GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA,EGYPT

The towering figuremade of stone and iron with an outer skin of bronzerepresented the Greek sun god Helios, the islands patron god. It looked out from Mandrki Harbor on the Mediterranean island of Rdos (Rhodes), although it is no longer believed to have straddled the harbor entrance as often shown in illustrations

Constructed on the small island of Pharos between 285 and 247 B.C., the building was the worlds tallest for many centuries. The huge structure towered over the Mediterranean coast for more than 1,500 years before being seriously damaged by earthquakes in A.D. 1303 and 1323.

The famous tomb at Halicarnassusnow the city of Bodrum was built between 370 and 350 B.C. for King Mausolus of Caria, a region in the southwest of modern Turkey. The structure measured 120 feet (40 meters) long and 140 feet (45 meters) tall. The tomb was most admired for its architectural beauty and splendor. The central burial chamber was decorated in gold .

The great marble temple dedicated to the Greek goddess Artemis was completed around 550 B.C. at Ephesus, near the modern-day town of Seluk in Turkey. .Today the temples foundations have been excavated and some of its columns re-erected

The 40-foot-tall (12-meter-tall) figure held a scepter in one hand and a small statue of the goddess of victory, Nike, in the other both made from ivory and precious metals. The temple was closed when the Olympics were banned as a pagan practice in A.D. 391, after Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire.

The hanging gardens are said to have stood on the banks of the Euphrates River in modern-day Iraq, although theres some doubt as to whether they ever really existed. The Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II supposedly created the terraced gardens around 600 B.C. at his royal palace in the Mesopotamian desert.
