Seven Wonders of the Ancient World by Edgar James Banks.The 7 Wonders of the Ancient World is a list of masterpieces of architecture and art of classical antiquity. First compiled in the second century BC, it served as a guidebook for the interested Hellenic traveller. This small book gives an introduction to all the entries on the list: The Pyramid of Khufu, the Walls of Babylon, the Satue of the Olympian Zeus, the Temple of Diana (or Artemis), the Tomb of King Mausolus, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Pharos of Alexandria. Sadly for the modern tourist, all but the Pyramid of Giza have been destroyed centuries ago.Featured on Manual of Egyptian Archaeology and Guide to the Study of Antiquities in Egypt.Public-domain recording courtesy of LibriVox (librivox.org).This episode includes AI-generated content.
