Wonders of the Ancient World
Originally there were seven wonders of the world, but many were lost over time, and in ruins, and many have disappeared without a trace.
Fortunately, many managed to recover, so we can imagine how they looked.
to 7-major wonders of the world like would add three more: one in Rome, one which was deleted from the list, and one from Ethiopia (which still exists). Great Pyramids of Giza 2584-2561 gg. BC - Today
This is only one of the Wonders of the Ancient World, which still stands today. However, if you come to Egypt to enjoy the wonder of ancient architecture, you happen to see it in the form in which it was conceived. All the pyramids were built of special blocks of stone, and covered the top of their polished slabs of limestone. These pyramids were to shine in the rays of the hot African sun. Unfortunately, in 1300, the earthquake polished tiles crumbling, and she was taken and used for the construction of mosques. Ishtar Gate 575 BC - Today As part of the walls of Babylon, Ishtar Gate (Eighth Gate of Babylon) is one of the wonders of the world. Part of this building is preserved, while others were reconstructed. In 1930 in Berlin was restored copy of the original gates, based on the surviving parts.
These gates can be seen in the Berlin Museum. Gate striking in its beauty, so if they will be restored to the place where originally were built, they will undoubtedly become a modern wonder of the world.
Temple of Artemis at Ephesus,
550 BC - 262 AD Pictured in the photo the Temple of Artemis - is a miniature model of the original building, which can be seen in the open-air museum "Miniaturk." This magnificent ancient temple dedicated to Zeus' daughter Artemis.
The temple was rebuilt in its history, three times, but in the end it was completely destroyed by the barbarians who did not spare even the wonders of the world. Unfortunately, all that remains of it today - one column, standing alone in the ruins.
Statue of Zeus435 BC - 5-6 century AD This was a giant statue of Zeus in the temple complex dedicated to Zeus - the main god of the ancient Greeks. The statue was so great that took out almost to the ceiling of the church. It was completely made of ivory and covered with gilded bronze sheets, so you can only imagine how much it cost.
At present it is not known how the statue was destroyed and why it disappeared, but most likely, it has suffered from fire and was destroyed along with the temple.
Mausoleum of Halicarnassus351 BC - 1494 AD, the mausoleum of Halicarnassus - one of the wonders of the ancient world, a replica of which stands today in Washington, and you can see a miniature version of the same Istanbul museum "Miniaturk." The original was built for the Carian ruler Mausolus in Halicarnassus, the ruins of which today is a well-known resort town of Bodrum in Turkey.
Mausoleum broke numerous earthquakes and collapsed after 19 centuries! Knights loannites dismantled stones from the ruins of the building to enhance the nearby fortress.
Colossus of Rhodes292/280 BC - 226 BC You may wonder why we put a photo of the statue of Liberty in New York, to illustrate this point. This was due to the fact that the statue was conceived and designed on the basis of the scale and design of the original statue of the Colossus of Rhodes. At the very least, about the creators were Colossus Statue of Liberty.
Thanks to this modern monument we can imagine how really looked Colossus - one of the wonders of the ancient world. Unfortunately, the monument stood a short time, an earthquake 226 BC threw him to the ground, where he lay for about 800 years! Eventually, the remains of the statues were sold to Arab conquerors of Jewish traders, who resold it as scrap.
Lighthouse of Alexandria1303-1480 gg. BC building pictured in the photo is a copy of Alexandria lighthouse in full size, which today is in China. The original was on the island of Pharos, and was constructed in the 14th century in order to light the way to seafarers who have sent their ships to Alexandria.
Like many other prominent buildings on the list, the lighthouse was destroyed by earthquakes and, ultimately, in its place built a medieval fortress.
Aksum obelisk ofthe 4th century BC. e. - Today, Aksum obelisk could be called a miracle of light, but the monument has never been included in the list of great works, as in Ethiopia, a country in which it was built, there was quite a distance from the rest of miracles, so look at it, in addition to local residents, few people could. The obelisk was built as a marker that points to the place of burial.
In 1937, the Italian fascists, who seized Ethiopia, removed the obelisk and took him to Rome, but only at the beginning of the 21st century obelisk was returned to Ethiopia by the Italians.
Coliseum70-80 years BC - Today In this photo you can see the Coliseum as it was originally. Unfortunately, the building was seriously damaged in 1349 during a strong earthquake. It was built for the Roman gladiatorial performances, but after their ban the building was used for various purposes, for a while there's not a dump was located, and the stones are taken away for the construction of the Colosseum other buildings.
Ultimately, however, the Colosseum, or rather all that is left of it, has been turned into a tourist attraction that is visited by millions of tourists.
Roman Baths,836 BC - Today, Roman Baths in Bath in the English county of Somerset - the reconstruction of the ancient Roman baths, which were built at the beginning of our era. The building was destroyed in the 6th century, but was later restored, the latest addition to it date back to the 19th century. Bath at these places were built originally by the British king Bladudom.
The city was famous for its thermal springs, which have been used to treat various diseases. The Romans, who conquered these areas have contributed to the architecture of the building.
World's oldest statue
Scientists have discovered the oldest piece of sculpture ever created and 35,000 years old. Engraving shows a woman with large breasts and sexual characteristics like an enlarged stomach and large thighs. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the carvings were found in a German cave, are at least 35,000 years. The fragments were found along with stone, bone and ivory are the first tools used by Homo sapien populations to settle in Europe.
6 World's Largest Ship
1. “Pierre Guillaumat”
Largest Ship Ever Made is 4 class supertanker Batillus the French in the late 70's, a dead weight of 555,000 tons and a length of 414 meters. Launched from the shipyard Chantiers de l'Atlantique in Saint Nazaire.The only larger ship was the jumbo "Knock Nevis"; ex "Jahre Viking", ex "Seawise Giant", ex "Porthos", in 1981. But supertanker Batillus class has a greater gross tonnage, so that it can be greater than the Knock Nevis.The four ships of the class Batillus is as follows:
• Batillus, made in 1976, rested 1985.
• Bellamya, made in 1976, rested 1986.
• Pierre Guillaumat, made in 1977, rested 1983.
• Prairial made in 1979, (also known as "Hellas Fos" and "Sea Giant")
2. “Super Tanker Knock Nevis”
This is the king of all supertankers, and possibly if viewed from its dimension is the largest ship ever built. What is clear for those still in operation, it is the largest ships. The story of his career-was quite interesting.First of all this ship has been called:
• "Seawise Giant"
• "Porthos"
• "Happy Giant"
• "Jahre Viking"
• "Knock Nevis"Knock Nevis, or T.T. Jahre Viking is the largest ship ever built. This is a super tanker with a class ULCC (Ultra Large Crude Carrier), ship length, measuring 485 meters (1503 feet), where the ship was standing then the ship will be taller than the Petronas Twin Tower.Jahre Viking has a depth of 25 meters fully loaded. Because of its large size, the Jahre Viking can not pass through the Panama canal and the Suez Canal-even the English Channel could not be skipped. Cargo capacity (deadweight tonnage) of the Jahre Viking is 564.763 tons, Jahre Viking can carry about 650.000 m³ (4.1 million barrels) of crude oil (crude oil) once sailed.Jahre Viking was originally built with a displacement of 480.000 tons by Sumitomo Heavy Industries Yard in Japan in 1975 with hull number 1016, which later named Seawise Giant.Sebagai overview, see the comparison scale with the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State Building:
3. “Cargo Ship Emma Maersk”
One of the world's largest Container Ship course owned by the company owner of the largest Container Ship Maersk-Group. The ship is named EMMA Maersk, is the largest Container Ship which has been operated.The vessel is able to carry nearly 11,000 TEU's (Twenty feet Equivalent Units), not less than 1,400 containers more than the ability to fit other boats. That's according to the stability limit of the vessel in accordance with company policy, assuming the weight per container of 14 tons. But basically the ship is designed can contain 14.500 TEU's.The ship was made by Odense Steel Shipyard Denmark in 2006. There is an interesting fact when the ship was being built, where a major fire in the accommodation deck and bridge deck which caused a lot of damage. But everything can be repaired quickly and ship completed on time. The ship is named EMMA Maersk, which is the name of the wife of the Maersk Mc-Kinney-founder of Maersk Group.

Queen Mary 2 ter-registration in Suthampton, United Kingdom.Construction of Queen Mary 2 cost about 900 million U.S. dollars, it is one of the most expensive ship ever built. But the huge development costs that much to offer comparable luxury, Queen Mary 2 is "The most luxurious pearl in the crown of cruise liners".The exterior of the Queen Mary 2 is handled by a notable architect Stephen Payne. A very large size to be the biggest obstacle in creating comfort for passengers. For example, the chimney must be ship design to the engines exhaust gases do not cause pollution vessels around the upper deck which is the most crowded public area of the ship.
5. “Berge Stahl”
Berge Stahl registered in Stavanger, Norway. This vessel previously registered in Monrovia, Liberia. This ship was built in 1986 by Hyundai Heavy Industries. This ship is now owned by Singapore company BW Group.karena size is very large, this ship can only be fully docked at two ports in the world, namely, Terminal Marítimo de Ponta da Madeira in Brazil and the Europoort nears
