What are the ten wonders of the world?
1 Egyptian pyramids:

The pyramids are tombs built by the kings of ancient Egypt. The pyramids of Giza in Egypt are considered as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Most of the pyramids in Egypt were built in the third and sixth dynasties. These pyramids with a history of more than 4,000 years are mainly distributed in the capital Cairo and Giza on the west bank of the Upper Nile. The pyramids of Giza belong to King Kabra on the left and King Kuff on the right, and there is a sphinx nearby. The main building material is limestone, and some are granite.

Eighty pyramids have been discovered in Egypt, the most spectacular of which is the pyramids of Giza built around 2600 BC, all of which were artificially built. How did the ancient Egyptians carve stones and build tombs? The layout of the passages and rooms inside the mausoleum is like a maze. How did the ancient Egyptians design it?

2 Zeus idol:

Zeus is the god of Greek gods. The statue of Zeus built for worship was the largest indoor statue in the world at that time. The Temple of Zeus, where the statue of Zeus is located, is the birthplace of the Olympic Games, and some Olympic events are held here. The site is located in the ancient city of Olympia on the west coast of Greece.

The temple of Zeus was built in 470 BC and completed in 456 BC. It was designed by architect Lieben, and the statue of Zeus was in the charge of sculptor Pheidias. The temple is made of limestone, with plaster on the surface, and the roof of the temple is made of marble. The temple is supported by Corinthian columns, with a height of17m and an area of 4 1.66.

Fallows lighthouse 3

The other six wonders of the Fallot Lighthouse are absolutely different, because it has no religious color, and it is built purely for people's real life. The light of the Fallot lighthouse shines all over Alexandria at night, protecting the ships at sea. In addition, it was the tallest building in the world at that time.

Location: fallows Island near Alexandria.

Shortly after the death of Alexander the Great, Ptolemy Soter, one of his subordinates, ruled Egypt and made Alexandria its capital. In view of the dangerous sea lanes near Alexandria, Ptolemy Soter ordered the architect soste Lars to cooperate with the Alexandria Library/Mouseon to build the Faros Lighthouse, which was completed in 290 BC.

4 hanging garden:

Like the colossus of Rhodes, archaeologists have not found the remains of the hanging garden so far. In fact, many ancient people mentioned hanging gardens in their works, but they only heard of them from others and never really saw them. Is the hanging garden a pure legend?

The Hanging Garden is located east of the Euphrates River and about 50 miles south of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. It is one of the four ancient civilizations in Babylon. Of course, the hanging gardens in Babylon have never hung in the air. The origin of this name is purely due to people's mistranslation of the Greek word "kremastos" and the Latin word "pensilis", whose original meaning is "hanging".

It is generally believed that the Hanging Garden was built by King Nebuchadnezzar (604-562 BC) to comfort the homesick princess Amyitis, imitating her hometown in the mountains.

5 Temple of themis:

Themis is the Greek goddess of hunting. Arabs call her Rath, Egyptians call her Isis, and Romans call her Diana. In ancient Greece, themis was deeply worshipped, so he built the Temple of themis, one of the seven wonders.

The ruins of Timmy Temple are estimated to be located in the ancient city of Free Soul, about 50 kilometers south of Izmir (Smyrna).

6 The Colossus of Rhodes:

The colossus of Rhodes is the most mysterious of the ten wonders, because it collapsed in just 56 years, and archaeologists have not even been able to determine its exact location and appearance.

The colossus of Rhodes is located in the port of Rhodes, leading to the Mediterranean Sea. In 305 BC, the Federation of Rhodes and antigone.

There was a war, and the victorious Rhodes Federation got a lot of trophies. To commemorate this victory, they sold their trophies and built the colossus of Rhodes.

7 Mao Solas Tomb Temple:

Mao Solas's Tomb Temple is located in Nassus, Halka, in the southwest of Turkey. Its bottom building is rectangular, with an area of 40m (120ft) by 30m (100ft) and a height of 45m (140ft), in which the pier wall is 20m high and the column is 12m high, and it is a pyramid.

8 Great Wall of Wan Li, China:

One of the great projects in ancient China. It was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (770 ~ 476 BC) and was built by the Ming Dynasty. It starts from Jiayuguan in Gansu in the west and reaches Hushankou on the Yalu River in Dandong, Liaoning in the east, running through Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Mongolia, Hebei, Liaoning and other places. Along the way, there are Shanhaiguan, Juyongguan, Niangziguan and other checkpoints.

Qin Shihuang later connected these intermittent Great Walls. It is said that 300,000 soldiers and millions of people and slaves were used at that time. However, the Great Wall can't completely prevent foreign invasion, because after the completion of the Great Wall, northern foreigners still often cross the Great Wall, raid villages on the border of China, and rob crops or livestock.

The Great Wall is the only three-dimensional building in history that can be seen from space. It is not easy to build it with modern science and technology, but it is really rare for China to build it in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago. The building materials of the Great Wall are all made from local materials, which vary greatly from place to place. In the Han Dynasty, the Great Wall was built of mud and reeds. The volume of the Great Wall is also different. Juyongguan area is about 8.5 meters high and 8.5 meters wide at the lower part. The upper part is about 5 meters wide. There is a castle (equivalent to a tower) every 70 ~ 100 meters, and its height is about 12.3 meters. Most castles are heavy, and there are only two or three key places.

The eastern section of the Great Wall passes through mountainous or hilly areas, which is called "cutting mountains to build ancient buildings" and "blocking them with dangers" in ancient times, with ups and downs and magnificent shapes; The middle and west sections are arid areas, sparsely populated and desolate. If you visit Yanmenguan, Juyongguan, Gubeikou or Shanhaiguan in the middle, and overlook the excellent situation of mountains and rivers in China, you will marvel at the difficulties of our ancestors in opening up territory and arouse infinite thanks, Sir.

9 Port Alexandra outside Fallows Lighthouse:

In 332 BC, Alexander the Great of Macedonian Empire established an ancient city-Alexandria, west of the mouth of the Nile River in Egypt. After the death of Alexander the Great, the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt began to rise, and Alexandria became the capital of the Ptolemaic dynasty and prospered. Besides, Alexandra has been found.

The joint location of Asia, Africa and Europe can also lead to the ports of the Nile and the Mediterranean. You can imagine how Alexandria prospered and how world trade developed. In addition, the Faroes lighthouse, one of the seven wonders of the world, shines on the seaport of Faross Island in Alexandria. Egypt also has a large number of temples, palaces and other architectural relics. Although Alexandra is so prosperous, Alexandra has changed beyond recognition today. Scientists believe that most of these buildings have collapsed because of a great earthquake in the fourth century AD. Scientists have made many excavations in Alexandria. Among them, in an excavation in 1996, French experts claimed that large-scale ancient relics were found at the bottom of Alexandria, and traces of ancient roads and paving stones were also found. Investigators found an ancient Greek pot that sank to the bottom of the sea in ancient times. There are two handles on the pot, which are used to transport wine and other trading items. The investigation team also found the head of the statue of Pharaoh. The staff first fixed the Pharaoh's head with metal utensils, and then sent the statue into the water with balloons. The survey was conducted at the possible location of the Fallows lighthouse. Just compare the head of the statue with the staff next to it, and you can imagine the huge statue. With these discoveries, thousands of cultural relics have been excavated for many investigations. Most of the excavated remains weigh several tons to dozens of tons. From these ruins, we can gradually imagine the mysterious lighthouse of Fallot. Due to the prosperity of Alexandra and the backward navigation technology in ancient times, we can imagine that the Fallot lighthouse shining on the whole port plays an extremely important role in defending the lives of ancient sailors. Whether future generations can have a clearer understanding of the Fallot Lighthouse depends on whether the government and experts will pay attention to the excavation of Alexandria. If Puerto Alexandra

10 Terracotta Warriors:

After visiting the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses, foreign heads of state and scholars believe that the discovery of Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit is not only an important discovery in China, but also an important discovery in the world archaeological history, which can be said to be the eighth wonder in the world. It can be compared with Egyptian pyramids and ancient Greek sculptures, and is recognized as a valuable wealth of human culture in the world.

Archaeological Discovery Shocked China and Foreign Countries 1974 Archaeologists in China have unearthed more than 7,000 pottery pots that have been sleeping for thousands of years, which is considered as an ancient miracle and the most spectacular archaeological discovery in this century. Qin terracotta warriors and horses are rare in the world in terms of quantity, quality and archaeological discoveries. It is of great significance to deeply study the military, political, economic, cultural, scientific and artistic aspects of the Qin Dynasty in the second century BC.

The terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shihuang, the treasure house of ancient clay sculpture art, were shaped with real life as the theme. Their artistic techniques are exquisite and vivid, their gestures and facial expressions are different, their personalities are distinct, and they have strong characteristics of the times, showing the peak of clay sculpture art, adding luster to the splendid ancient culture of the Chinese nation and a glorious page to the history of world art.
