The first miracle of the Great Pyramids

This graceful Egyptian pyramid is the oldest of the seven wonders of antiquity. In addition, this is the only miracle that has survived to this day. At the time of its creation, the Great Pyramid was the tallest structure in the world. And she held this record, apparently, for almost 4000 years.

The Great Pyramid was built as the tomb of Khufu, known to the Greeks as Cheops. He was one of the pharaohs, or kings ancient egypt, and his tomb was completed in 2580 BC. Later, two more pyramids were built at Giza, for Khufu's son and grandson, as well as smaller pyramids for their queens. The pyramid of Khufu is the largest. The ancient Egyptians believed that when a person died, their body should be preserved so that the spirit could continue to live after death. They removed the internal organs, filled the body with salts and wrapped it in linen shrouds. So the body turned into a mummy. The mummy was then buried along with clothing, food, jewelry and other items useful for the afterlife. Khufu's mummified body was placed in burial chamber at the very heart of his pyramid.

The pyramids stand in an ancient cemetery in Giza, on the opposite bank of the Nile River from Cairo, the capital of modern Egypt. Some archaeologists believe that perhaps for the construction great pyramid It took 20 years for 100,000 people. It was created from more than 2 million stone blocks, each of which weighed at least 2.5 tons. Workers pulled them into place using ramps, pulleys and levers, and then pushed them together without mortar. return

Third miracle Temple of Artemis of Ephesus

Croesus was the last king of Lydia, ancient region in Asia Minor, part of the territory of modern Turkey. He was famous for his enormous wealth and in 560 BC. built a magnificent temple in Ephesus.

The Temple of Alexander existed until the 3rd century AD. Gradually, the bay in Ephesus was covered with silt and the city lost its importance. The temple was plundered by the Goths and later flooded. Today, only a few foundation blocks and one restored column remain from the temple at Ephesus. return

Miracle Four Halicarnassus Mausoleum

Mausolus was the ruler of Caria, part of the Persian Empire, from 377 to 353. BC. The capital of the region was Halicarnassus, which became known as Bodrum tourist center in modern Turkey. Mausolus succeeded his father as lord of the city and satrap of the province.

Mausolus married his sister Artemisia. Gaining more and more power, he began to think about a tomb for himself and his queen. This must have been an extraordinary tomb. Mausolus dreamed of a magnificent monument that would remind the world of his wealth and power long after his death. Mausolus died before the tomb was completed, but his widow continued to supervise the construction until its completion, around 350 BC. The tomb was called Mausoleum, after the king, and this word came to mean any impressive and majestic tomb. return

Fifth miracle Statue of Olympian Zeus

Almost 3,000 years ago, Olympia was an important religious center in Southwestern Greece. The ancient Greeks worshiped Zeus, the king of the gods, and held regular festivals there in his honor, which included athletic competitions. The first Olympic Games, as they came to be called, were probably held in 776 BC. After this, the games were held every four years for 1,100 years. They were of great importance; During the games, all wars stopped so as not to interfere with the participants and spectators getting to the place. In the 5th century BC. The citizens of Olympia decided to build a temple of Zeus. The majestic building was erected between 466 and 456. BC. It was built from huge stone blocks and was surrounded by massive columns. For several years after construction was completed, the temple did not have a worthy statue of Zeus, although it was soon decided that one was necessary. The famous Athenian sculptor was chosen as the creator of the statue.

Around 40 AD Roman Emperor Caligula wanted to move the statue to Rome. Workers were sent after it, but, according to legend, the statue burst into a burst of laughter and the workers fled. Then, in 391 AD, after adopting Christianity, the Romans banned the Olympic Games and closed the Greek temples. A few years later, the statue of Zeus was transported to Constantinople. In 462 AD. the palace in which the statue stood was destroyed by fire. An earthquake occurred in the Olympic region in the 4th century. The temple and stadium were destroyed by floods, their remains covered with silt. This helped the fragments of Olympia survive for more than 1000 years. return

The sixth miracle: Colossus of Rhodes

It was called a colossus giant statue, which stood in the port city of Rhodes - an island in the Aegean Sea, off the coast of modern Turkey. In ancient times, the people of Rhodes wanted to be independent traders. They tried not to interfere in other people's wars, and yet they themselves were repeatedly conquered.

At the end of the 4th century BC. the people of Rhodes celebrated the victory. They just successfully defended their city, which whole year was besieged by Greek soldiers. The Greeks, realizing that they could not win, even abandoned part of the siege works. The people of Rhodes decided to sell these buildings and build a statue of Helios, revered by them as the sun god, in order to thank him for his intercession.

We don't know exactly what the statue looked like or where it stood. But we know that it was made of bronze and reached a height of about 33 meters. It was created by sculptor Haret and took 12 years to build. The bronze shell was attached to an iron frame. The hollow statue began to be built from the bottom, and as it grew, it was filled with stones to make it more stable. The Colossus was completed around 280 BC. For many centuries, people believed that the Colossus towered over the entrance to the Rhodian harbor. But this could not be. The width of the mouth of the harbor was approximately 400 meters, but the statue was still not that colossal. Descriptions suggest that it stood in the center of the city and looked out over the sea and harbor. Approximately 50 years after completion of construction, the Colossus collapsed. During the earthquake it broke at the level of the knees. The oracle ordered not to restore the statue, and it remained lying where it fell. So it lay there for more than 900 years, and they went to Rhodes only to look at the wreckage of the defeated god. In 654 AD. The Syrian prince captured Rhodes and removed the bronze plates from the statue. They said that he took them to Syria on 900 camels. return

Seventh miracle Alexandria lighthouse

In the 3rd century BC. a lighthouse was built so that ships could safely pass the reefs on their way to Alexandria Bay. At night they were helped in this by the reflection of flames, and during the day by a column of smoke. It was the world's first lighthouse, and it stood for 1,500 years. The lighthouse was built on the small island of Pharos in the Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Alexandria. This busy port was founded by Alexander the Great during his visit to Egypt. The building was named after the island. It must have taken 20 years to build and was completed around 280 BC, during the reign of Ptolemy II, king of Egypt.
