Marvels of divine craftsmanship, treasures of civilization

The Seven Wonders of the World refer to the seven marvelous man-made structures from the ancient world. The concept was first proposed by the traveler Antipater in the 3rd century BC, although another theory suggests it was proposed by the Byzantine scientist Philo in the 2nd century BC. These wonders are: the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Most of these wonders were destroyed over the years, with only the pyramids surviving. Thus, the Seven Wonders of the World also serve as a testament to the vicissitudes of human civilization. They are treasures of human civilization, embodying not only immense artistic and aesthetic value but also human intelligence and creativity.

• The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt: It is the only surviving wonder of the original Seven Wonders of the World and the largest pyramid in the world. It was commissioned by the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu and is a symbolic structure of ancient Egyptian civilization, representing the power and status of the pharaoh.
• The Hanging Gardens of Babylon: This is a famous aerial garden from the ancient world, constructed by Nebuchadnezzar II, the King of Babylon, for his queen. It symbolizes love and romance.
• Temple of Artemis: One of the largest temples in the world. It is dedicated to Artemis, the goddess of the moon, and is a masterpiece of ancient Greek architectural art, symbolizing female power and independence.
• Olympia Zeus Statue: This is one of the largest statues in the world. It depicts Zeus, the king of the gods in Greek mythology, and represents the pinnacle of ancient Greek sculptural art. It is a symbol of the faith of the ancient Greeks.
• The Mausoleum of Mausolus: It is one of the most famous tombs in the world. Built by Artemisia, the wife of Mausolus, the satrap of Caria under the Persian Empire, it serves as a model for ancient Greek tomb architecture.
• Colossus of Rhodes: This statue is one of the largest bronze sculptures in the world. It depicts Helios, the sun god from Greek mythology, and is a masterpiece of ancient Greek metal casting technology, symbolizing freedom and victory.
• The Lighthouse of Alexandria: It was one of the three great lighthouses of the ancient world. Commissioned by Ptolemy II, the third king of Egypt's Ptolemaic dynasty, it symbolized the maritime technology of the ancient era.
