The ancient Greeks made a list of places they thought people should see. This list was named the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The only one of the ancient wonders that still exists is the Great Pyramid of Giza. Pyramids were built as tombs for the leaders of Egypt called Pharaohs.
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon is special because people do not know for sure if it existed. It was located on the bank of the Euphrates River.
The Statue of Zeus was built to honor the Greek god Zeus. It was made of wood and decorated with gold and ivory. Unfortunately, the statue was destroyed by a fire.
In addition to Zeus, the Greeks also built a very big statue to honor the Greek sun god, Helios. This wonder is known as the Colossus of Rhodes(罗德港巨人雕像). It is about the same size as the Statue of Liberty.
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus(阿耳忒弥斯神庙) in what is now Turkey was built to honor the goddess of hunting, nature, and fertility. The temple was made of marble and had many bronze statues. The temple was later burned down.
Another wonder was the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. This tomb was built for King Mausolus of Caria. Later, several earthquakes damaged it. However, it remained longer than any of the wonders, other than the Great Pyramid.
The Pharos of Alexandria was a lighthouse. A large mirror inside it was used to reflect sunlight to help warn ships getting close to the Egyptian shoreline. It was later ruined by earthquakes.
