How the Wonders of the World Were Built

We admire the ancient wonders today, but somebody had to build them. No heavy machinery, no semitrucks, no cement mixers. How was it even
possible to build such wonders as pyramids and temples in ancient times?

Each one of the seven wonders of the world is unique, their beauty and magnificence has been lauded by the greatest poets and writers of the ages. In How the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World Were Built, you’ll learn about the techniques and tools used to build them, what it was like to be there during the construction of them, and more!

We’ll touch on each of the seven wonders of the world:

• The Colossus of Rhodes
• The majestic Great Pyramids of Giza
• The Lighthouse of Alexandria (which withstood earthquakes and gales)
• The spellbinding Statue of Zeus at Olympia
• The breathtaking Temple of Artemis in Ephesus
• The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
• And the Hanging Gardens of Babylon (inspiration for so many myths and legends).

Come with us as we go back in time and learn the secrets of how these gems of ancient architecture were created!
