historians and scientists believe that the most ancient is the first attraction - the egyptian pyramids. a distinctive feature of this wonder of the world is that only it has survived to the present day in an almost original form. the building of the pyramid of giza dates back to approximately 1983 bc, and the largest structure of the complex is the tomb of cheops. the rest of the world wonders were not so lucky, and only the ruins of some of them survived to this day. for example, the hanging gardens of babylon, which were created in the vi century bc, were destroyed by floods in the ii century. but even the dilapidated remains of this magnificent structure are breathtaking.the statue of zeus from olympia, created around 435 bc. the famous ancient sculptor pheidias burned down almost a thousand years later in constantinople. the temple of artemis at ephesus was erected in 550 bc, but after two centuries it was also destroyed by a severe fire. the mausoleum of halicarnassus was created by architect pythaeus in 351 bc. in 1494, earthquakes were noted in southwest turkey, after which only the foundations and architectural fragments of the structure remained. as for the colossus of rhodes, built at the beginning of the iii century bc. the greeks, he fell as a result of a series of strongest tremors somewhere between 224 and 225 bc. alexandria lighthouse, built in the iii century bc. at the direction of the ruling dynasty of the ptolemies, is the pinnacle of engineering and technical thought of the time. the structure lasted until 1480, providing reliable lighting of coastal waters. in the xv century, the lighthouse was partially destroyed by an earthquake.
