THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD

 The Seven Wonders of the World or the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (essentially known as Seven Wonders) is a rundown of surprising developments of traditional relic given by different writers in manuals or sonnets mainstream among antiquated Hellenic vacationers. Albeit the rundown, in its present structure, didn't settle until the Renaissance, the primary such arrangements of seven marvels date from the second first century BC. The first rundown propelled incalculable renditions through the ages, regularly posting seven passages. Of the first Seven Wonders, just one—the Great Pyramid of Giza, most established of the old marvels—remains somewhat flawless. The Colossus of Rhodes, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Temple of Artemis and the Statue of Zeus were totally obliterated. The area and extreme destiny of the Hanging Gardens are obscure, and there is hypothesis that they might not have existed by any means.

1]  THE  PYRAMIDS  OF  GIZA

The Great Pyramid, situated at Giza on the west bank of the Nile River north of Cairo in Egypt, is the lone marvel of the old world that has made due to the current day. It is essential for a gathering of three pyramids–Khufu (Cheops), Khafra (Chephren) and Menkaura (Mycerimus)– that were worked between 2700 B.C. also, 2500 B.C. as illustrious burial chambers. The biggest and most amazing is Khufu, known as "The Great Pyramid," which covers 13 sections of land and is accepted to contain multiple million stone squares that weigh from two to 30 tons each. For over 4,000 years, Khufu reigned as the tallest structure on the planet. Truth be told, it took present day man until the nineteenth century to construct a taller design. Incredibly, the almost balanced Egyptian pyramids were worked without the guide of present day apparatuses or studying hardware. All in all, how did Egyptians assemble the pyramids? Researchers accept that the Egyptians utilized log rollers and sledges to move the stones into place. The inclined dividers, which were expected to imitate the beams of Ra, the sun god, were initially worked as steps, and afterward filled in with limestone. The inside of the pyramids remembered restricted passageways and secret chambers for a fruitless endeavor to thwart grave looters. Albeit present day archeologists have tracked down some extraordinary fortunes among the vestiges, they accept the vast majority of what the pyramids once contained was plundered inside 250 years of their culmination.

2] THE BABYLONIAN  HANGING  GARDENS

As indicated by old Greek artists, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were worked close to the Euphrates River in advanced Iraq by the Babylonian lord Nebuchadnezzar II around 600 B.C. The nurseries were said to have been planted as high as 75 feet noticeable all around on a gigantic square block porch that was spread out in advances like a theater. The ruler purportedly assembled the transcending nurseries to facilitate his sweetheart Amytis' nostalgia for the normal excellence of her home in Media (the northwestern piece of advanced Iran). Later scholars depicted how individuals could stroll under the lovely gardens, which laid on tall stone segments. Present day researchers have derived that for the nurseries to endure they would have must be flooded utilizing a framework comprising of a siphon, waterwheel and storages to convey water from the Euphrates numerous feet into the air. However there are numerous records of the nurseries in both Greek and Roman writing, none of them are firsthand, and no notice of the nurseries has been found in Babylonian cuneiform engravings. Thus, most present day researchers accept that the presence of the nurseries was important for an enlivened and generally accepted yet at the same time anecdotal story.

3] Statue of Zeus at Olympia

The renowned sculpture of Zeus, the lord of the divine beings in Greek Mythology, was made by the Athenian stone carver Phidias and finished and set in the sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia, site of the antiquated Olympics, around the mid-fifth century B.C. The sculpture portrayed the lord of thunder situated exposed chested at a wooden seat. Holding up the seats' armrests were two cut sphinxes, legendary animals with the head and chest of a lady, the assortment of lion and the wings of a bird. The sculpture of Zeus was luxuriously improved with gold and ivory. At 40 feet, it was tall to such an extent that its head almost contacted the highest point of the sanctuary. As indicated by legend, the artist Phidias requested Zeus for a sign from his endorsement in the wake of completing the sculpture; before long, the sanctuary was struck by lightning. The Zeus sculpture graced the sanctuary at Olympia for over eight centuries before Christian ministers convinced the Roman head to close the sanctuary in the fourth century A.D. Around then, the sculpture was moved to a sanctuary in Constantinople, where it is accepted to have been annihilated in a fire in the year 462.

4]Temple of Artemis at Ephesus

There was in reality more than one Temple of Artemis: A progression of a few special stepped areas and sanctuaries was obliterated and afterward reestablished on a similar site in Ephesus, a Greek port city on the west shoreline of current Turkey. The most fantastic of these constructions were two marble sanctuaries worked around 550 B.C. furthermore, 350 B.C., separately. "Aside from Olympus, the Sun never looked on anything so stupendous," the essayist Antipater of Sidon composed of the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus. 

The first Temple of Artemis was planned by the Cretan planner Chersiphron and his child Metagenes and adorned by probably the most commended craftsmen of the antiquated world. The structure consumed on July 21, 356 B.C., as indicated by legend that very night that Alexander the Great was conceived. It was burnt by a Greek resident named Herostratus, who asserted he consumed the wonder so his name would be known to history. He was executed and the public authority announced it illicit to absolute his name. 

Around six years after the fact, the structure of the new Temple of Artemis was started. The new structure was encircled by marble steps that prompted a more than 400-foot-long porch. Inside stood 127 60-foot marble segments and a sculpture of Artemis, the Greek Goddess of the chase. Archeologists differ regarding whether the structure had an outside roof or was finished off with wood tiles. The sanctuary was generally annihilated by Ostrogoths in A.D. 262, and it was not until the 1860s that archeologists uncovered the first of the vestiges of the sanctuary's sections at the lower part of the Cayster River.

5] Mausoleum at Halicarnassus

Situated in what is presently southeastern Turkey, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was a burial place worked by Artemisia for her better half, Mausolus, the ruler of Carnia in Asia Minor, after his demise in 353 B.C. Mausolus was additionally Artemisia's sibling, and, as per legend, she was so melancholy stricken at his passing that she blended his remains in with water and savored them option to requesting the tomb's development. The enormous catacomb was made altogether of white marble and is thought to have been around 135 feet high. The structure's muddled plan, comprising of three rectangular layers, may have been an endeavor to accommodate Lycian, Greek and Egyptian engineering styles. The principal layer was a 60-foot base of steps, trailed by a center layer of 36 Ionic segments and a ventured, pyramid-formed rooftop. At the actual top of the rooftop lay the burial place, brightened by crafted by four stone carvers, and a 20-foot marble interpretation of a four-horse chariot. The tomb was to a great extent annihilated in a tremor in the thirteenth century and its remaining parts were subsequently utilized in the stronghold of a palace. In 1846, bits of one of the tomb's friezes were removed from the palace and presently dwell, alongside different relics from the Halicarnassus site, in London's British Museum.

6] Colossus of Rhodes

The Colossus of Rhodes was a gigantic bronze model of the sun god Helios worked by the Rhodians more than 12 years in the third century B.C. The city was the objective of a Macedonian attack from the get-go in the fourth century B.C. what's more, as indicated by legend, the Rhodians sold the devices and hardware abandoned by the Macedonians to pay for the Colossus. Planned by the stone worker Chares, the sculpture was, at 100 feet, the tallest of the antiquated world. It was finished around 280 B.C. furthermore, represented sixty years until it was brought down in a tremor. It was never reconstructed. Many years after the fact, Arabs attacked Rhodes and sold the remaining parts of the sculpture as salvaged material. Along these lines, archeologists don't think a lot about the specific area of the sculpture for sure it resembled. Most accept that it portrayed the sun god standing exposed while he lifted a light with one hand and held a lance in the other. It was once accepted that the sculpture remained with one leg on each side of a harbor, yet most researchers currently concur that the sculpture's legs were in all likelihood constructed near one another to help its colossal weight.

7]  Lighthouse of Alexandria

The Lighthouse of Alexandria was situated on a little island called Pharos close to the city of Alexandria. Planned by the Greek planner Sostratos and finished around 270 B.C. during the rule of Ptolemy II, the beacon assisted with directing Nile River dispatches all through the city's bustling harbor. Archeologists have discovered old coins on which the beacon was portrayed, and from them reasoned that the design had three levels: a square level at the last, an octagonal level in the center and a barrel shaped top. Over that stood a 16-foot sculpture, doubtlessly of Ptolemy II or Alexander the Great, for whom the city was named. In spite of the fact that assessments of the beacon's stature have gone from 200 to 600 feet, most present day researchers trust it was around 380 feet tall. The beacon was bit by bit annihilated during a progression of tremors from 956 to 1323. A portion of its remaining parts have since been found at the lower part of the Nile.
