The structure was named after the island. A large amount of fuel was required to maintain the flame. The tree was brought along a spiral ramp in carts drawn by horses or mules. Bronze plates stood behind the flames, directing the light out into the sea. The lighthouse fell into disrepair. The bronze plates, which served as mirrors, were probably melted down into coins. In the 14th century, the lighthouse was destroyed by an earthquake. At the top of the tower stood a statue of Zeus the Savior. The total height of the lighthouse was 117 meters. In the 5th century BC. the citizens of Olympia decided to build a temple to Zeus. Several years later, the statue of Zeus was transported to Constantinople. - 7 wonders.pptx

Pyramid of Cheops Hanging Gardens of Seven Rads Statue of Zeus at Olympia Temple of Artemis at Ephesus Mausoleum at Halicarnassus Colossus of Rhodes Alexandrinsky Lighthouse 7 wonders of the world

3 slide

Pyramid of Cheops The pyramid of Cheops is the second (after the Great Wall of China) in size, a structure created by human hands. The Pyramid of Cheops is one of the most ancient wonders of the world that has survived to this day. In Egypt, on the Giza plateau, the Cheops pyramid is one of the three most massive buildings. Scientists believe that the construction of this burial temple took about twenty years ..

4 slide

It is interesting that for almost three thousand years the Cheops pyramid remained the tallest building in the world. This title was taken from her by the Cathedral in Lincoln, built in England in 1300.

5 slide

Hanging Gardens of the Seven Rada Hanging Gardens of Babylon is usually called one of the Seven Wonders of the World, which supposedly was located in Babylon and has not survived to this day. The architectural layout of the hanging gardens was a kind of pyramid, consisting, in turn, of four different platforms and tiers. All this was supported by massive columns, the height of which reached twenty-five meters.

6 slide

The first tier was made in the form of a quadrangle (irregular). All the plants that were planted in this garden were brought from the motherland of the queen - Media. The architects came up with a clever system that prevented water from seeping through the plants. First of all, a thick layer of reed was laid on the surface of each level, after which fertile soil was laid in a thick layer on the reed, where plants, flowers and shrubs were already planted.

Statue of Zeus at Olympia Location Olympia (Athens). Built by an Athenian sculptor, one of the most famous of its time, Phidias. The statue was built in the temple of Zeus in his honor. At the most conservative estimate, the gold used for decoration alone was worth about $ 8 million.

8 slide

The statue of Zeus at Olympia was created by the Greek sculptor Phidias in 432 BC in what is now Greece. This place was not chosen by chance - it was in Olympia, in the temple of Zeus, that the Olympic Games were held annually. The statue is considered one of the seven wonders of the world, which is not surprising, because its history and scale are unique. It is about the history of construction that we will tell in more detail. 300 after the start of the annual Olympic Games, which are extremely popular among the Greeks, it was decided to build a magnificent temple in honor of the patron saint of Olympia - the god Zeus. As always in such cases, the fundraising for the construction was started

Temple of Artemis in Ephesus Location Ephesus (Turkey). A huge temple built by the inhabitants of Ephesus in honor of Atemis (twin sister of Apollo). Artemis made the marriage happy and blessed the birth of children. The Temple of Artemis was 52 meters wide. 105 meters long and 18 meters high columns.

10 slide

Confusion has long arisen with the temple of Artemis of Ephesus, and therefore it is not entirely clear which of these temples to speak of: the last or the penultimate? For a long time, the authors writing about this wonder of the world have an inaccurate idea of \u200b\u200bwhat Herostratus burned and what Hersifron built. Therefore, I think it is necessary to tell about two temples, two architects and one criminal. This story is dramatic, it is difficult to decide what triumphs here - good or evil. Ephesus was one of the largest cities in Ionia, perhaps the most developed and richest region of the Greek world, enriched here with the culture of the East. It was from the cities of Asia Minor that courageous navigators and colonists emerged, making their way to the Black Sea and to the African shores. Ionia's wealthy policies were worth a lot. In the ancient world, everyone knew about the temple of Hera at Samos, the temple of Apollo at Didyma, near Miletus, and the temple of Artemis at Ephesus.

Mausoleum at Halicarnassus Location Halicarnassus. It was built in IV BC, it was a tombstone to the Carian ruler Mavsol. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus is a monument built over the tomb of the Carian king Mavsol. It dates back to the 4th century BC and is located on the territory of modern Turkey.

12 slide

Mausolus decided to build the Halicarnassus mausoleum even before his death, on the advice of his wife Artemisia. The building was designed by the Greek architects Satyr and Pytheas, and many of the best sculptors of that time were also invited. The mausoleum was located on a hilltop near Halicarnassus. In the courtyard there was a stone platform on which the grave was located. A stone staircase led to the top of the platform, with sculptures of lions on the sides, as well as statues of gods and goddesses.

13 slide

Colossus of Rhodes Location Rhodes (Greece). A huge statue built in the city of Rhodes in honor of the ancient Greek god Helios (sun god). The height of the statue was 36 meters. It was located at the entrance to the harbor of Rhodes. According to legend, the island of Rhodesvoznik in the middle of the endless sea by the will of the sun god Helios. Helios raised this island from the bottom of the sea and became its patron.

14 slide

Strabo called Rhodes the most beautiful place he knew, and he knew almost the entire ancient world. We find the first mention of Rhodes in Homer's Iliad. He, listing the participants in the Trojan War, names Tlipomenus, the son of Hercules, who brought nine ships from Rhodes to Troy. Zeno, the author of The History of Rhodes, says that Rhodes existed in mythical times.

15 slide

Alexandrinsky Lighthouse And the last "miracle" of 7 is the location of Alexandria (Egypt). The first lighthouse in the world, it helped ships navigate the reefs for almost a thousand years. Its height was about 30 meters. The Macedonian chose the site for the founding of Egyptian Alexandria very carefully. He did not like the idea of \u200b\u200ba location in the Nile Delta and so the decision was made to set up the first construction sites 20 miles south, near the marshy Lake Mareotis.

16 slide

Alexandria was supposed to have two large harbors - one was intended for merchant ships coming from Mediterranean Sea, and the second is for ships sailing along the Nile. After the death of Alexander the Great in 332 BC. the city came under the rule of Ptolemy I Soter - the new ruler of Egypt. During this period, Alexandria developed into a thriving commercial port. In 290 BC. Ptolemy ordered the construction of a huge lighthouse on the island of Pharos, which would illuminate the path of ships sailing in the harbor of the city at night and in bad weather. The Pharos Lighthouse has illuminated the way for mariners for over 1,500 years. But strong tremors in 365, 956 and 1303 AD. severely damaged the building, and the most powerful earthquake of 1326 finally destroyed one of the greatest architectural structures in the world.

• The pyramid was originally faced with white sandstone that is harder than the main blocks. The top of the pyramid was crowned with a gilded stone - the pyramidion. The veneer shone peach in the sun. In 1168 A.D. e. the Arabs plundered and burned Cairo. Residents of Cairo removed the cladding from the pyramid in order to build new houses.
• There are no inscriptions or decorations inside the Cheops pyramid. Yet her visit leaves an indelible impression. The currently existing entrance to the pyramid leads to a tunnel made by robbers, which is 17 m from the surface of the earth. Inside the Cheops pyramid, there are two burial chambers, one above the other. "Queen's Chamber" and Pharaoh's Chamber.

Hanging Gardens of Babylon

• One of the seven wonders of the world is the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. They were located on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River.
• The cruel despot ruler of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, built these gardens for his wife Semiramis.

Slide 6

The gardens created by the builders of Babylon were four-tiered. The vaults of the tiers rested on columns twenty-five meters high. The platforms of the tiers, built of flat stone slabs, were covered with a layer of reeds, covered with asphalt and covered with lead leaves to prevent water from seeping into the lower tier. On top of this, a layer of earth was poured, sufficient for large trees to grow here. The tiers, rising with ledges, were connected by wide, gentle staircases lined with colored tiles. The Hanging Gardens were destroyed by floods on the Euphrates.

Slide 7

Temple of Artemis at Ephesus

This magnificent temple was built in honor of Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt and wildlife. The temple was located in Ephesus. On the night of July 21, 356 BC. BC, a man named Herostratus set fire to the temple. After the temple was restored in 550 BC. e .. the architect was Harsefron.

Slide 8

Zeus statue in Olympia

The seated Zeus statue was erected by the great Greek sculptor Phidias in the Temple of Olympia. Zeus sat on a throne inlaid with ebony and precious stones. The completed statue reached 13 meters in height and almost touched the ceiling of the temple. The impression was that if Zeus stood up, he would blow off the roof. After its completion in 435 BC. the statue has remained one of the greatest wonders of the world for 800 years.

Slide 9

Around 40 AD the Roman emperor Caligula wanted to move the statue to Rome. Workers were sent for it, but, according to legend, the statue burst into laughter and the workers fled. Then, in 391 AD, after the adoption of Christianity, the Romans banned the Olympics and closed the Greek temples. Several years later, the statue of Zeus was transported to Constantinople. In 462 A.D. the palace in which the statue stood was destroyed by fire.

The Colossus of Rhodes

From the appearance to the destruction of the colossus of Rhodes, only 56 years passed. The idea to create it was born in the spring of 304 BC, when the inhabitants of a small island lying on the very coast of Asia Minor, standing on the walls torn apart by a long siege, watched the ships of one of the heirs of the state of Alexander the Great, the son of the ruler of Asia Minor and Syria, hide in the sea. Demetria Poliorketa. This monument was located at the entrance to the Mediterranean harbor in Greece.
