Features: Introduction Why are they the "Seven" Wonders of the World, not another number?? The number "Seven" has repeatedly appeared throughout history: there are "Seven" saints in classical literature; the Bible records that God created all things in "Seven" days; or the "Seven" years of abundance and "Seven" years of famine in Egypt... This book will lead readers to explore the secrets of the "Seven" Wonders of the World, uncovering the unsolved mysteries of world history—such as the Egyptian Pyramids, the Walls of Babylon, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the Tomb of Mausolus at Halicarnassus, and the Colossus of Rhodes... The "Seven" Wonders of the World symbolize the milestones of human civilization's high development. But most of these legendary buildings and artistic works have been lost to the dust of history, existing only in people's imagination. The author presents the historical facts of the ancient Greek world and its wonders to readers, allowing them to experience the magnificent wonders of human history; and explores the development and significance of these world wonders, solving the long-standing historical mysteries.
