Ten ancient buildings

1. Egyptian pyramids.

The pyramids are tombs built by the kings of ancient Egypt for themselves. The pyramids of Giza in Egypt are considered as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Most of the pyramids in Egypt were built in the third to sixth dynasties. These pyramids with a history of more than 4,000 years are mainly distributed in the capital Cairo and Giza on the west bank of the upper Nile. The left side of the Pyramid of Giza belongs to King Kabra and the right side belongs to King Kuff. There is a sphinx nearby. The main building material is limestone, and some are granite.

Eighty pyramids have been discovered in Egypt, the most spectacular of which is the pyramids of Giza built around 2600 BC, all of which are artificially built. How did the ancient Egyptians carve stones and build tombs? The layout of the passages and rooms inside the tomb is like a maze. How did the ancient Egyptians design it?

2. The statue of Zeus in Greece.

Zeus is the god of Greek gods. The statue of Zeus built for worship was the largest indoor statue in the world at that time. The Temple of Zeus, where the statue of Zeus is located, is the birthplace of the Olympic Games, and some Olympic events are held here. The site is located in the ancient city of Olympia on the west coast of Greece.

The temple of Zeus was built in 470 BC and completed in 456 BC. It was designed by architect Lieben, and the statue of Zeus was in the charge of sculptor Pheidias. The temple is made of limestone with plaster on the surface and marble on the top. The temple is supported by Corinthian columns, with a height of17m and an area of 4 1. 1 m×107.75m..

3. Faros Lighthouse in Egypt.

The other six wonders of the Fallot Lighthouse are absolutely different, because it has no religious color, and it is built purely for people's real life. The light of the Fallot lighthouse shines all over Alexandria at night, protecting the ships at sea. In addition, it was the tallest building in the world at that time.

Location: fallows Island near Alexandria.

Shortly after the death of Alexander the Great, Ptolemy Soter, one of his subordinates, ruled Egypt and made Alexandria its capital. In view of the dangerous sea lanes near Alexandria, Ptolemy Soter ordered the architect Sostratus to cooperate with the Alexandria Library/Mousion to build the Fallot Lighthouse, which was completed in 290 BC.

4. Hanging Garden.

Like the colossus of Rhodes in Hanging Gardens, archaeologists have so far failed to find the remains of the Hanging Gardens. In fact, many ancient people mentioned hanging gardens in their works, but they only heard of them from others and never really saw them. Is the hanging garden a pure legend?

The Hanging Garden is located east of the Euphrates River, about 50 miles south of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, and in Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations. Of course, the hanging gardens in Babylon have never hung in the air. The origin of this name is purely due to people's misinterpretation of the Greek word "kremastos" and the Latin word "pensilis", which originally meant "hanging" and "protruding". It is generally believed that the Hanging Garden was built by King Nebuchadnezzar (604-562 BC) to comfort the homesick princess Amyitis, imitating her hometown in the mountains.

5. The Greek Temple of themis.

Themis is the Greek goddess of hunting. Arabs call her Rath, Egyptians call her Isis, and Romans call her Diana. Themis was deeply worshipped in ancient Greece, so he built the Temple of themis, one of the Seven Wonders.

The ruins of Timmy Temple are estimated to be located in the ancient city of Free Soul, about 50 kilometers south of Izmir (Smyrna).

6. The Colossus of Rhodes.

The colossus of Rhodes is the most mysterious of the ten wonders, because it collapsed in just 56 years, and archaeologists have not even been able to determine its exact location and appearance.

The colossus of Rhodes is located in the port of Rhodes, Greece, which leads to the Mediterranean Sea. In 305 BC, a war broke out between the Federation of Rhodes and antigone Ned of Malta. The defeated Rhodes Federation won a lot of trophies. To commemorate this victory, they sold their trophies and built the colossus of Rhodes.

7. Mau Solas's Tomb and Temple.

Mao Solas's Tomb Temple is located in Nassus, Halka, in the southwest of Turkey. Its bottom building is rectangular, with an area of 40m (120ft) by 30m (100ft) and a height of 45m (140ft), in which the pier wall is 20m high and the column is 12m high, and it is a pyramid. Next to it, decorated with stone statues. The statue at the top is four horses pulling an ancient two-wheeled chariot. This tomb temple is famous for its architecture and those sculptures. The sculpture of Mausoleum Temple was made by four famous sculptors, Briasis, Leo Chales, Scopas and Timothy, each of whom was responsible for one side of the tomb temple.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 5th century, Halicarnassus was occupied. In order to build a huge castle, the new ruler used some stones from Mao Solas's tomb temple as building materials in 1494. Today, many sculptures still survive and are kept in museums in London, England. /kloc-since the 0/9th century, the archaeological excavation of Mausolasso's tomb temple has provided a lot of information about Mao.

8. The Great Wall of Wan Li, China.

One of the great projects in ancient China. It was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (770 ~ 476 BC), and the existing one was built in the Ming Dynasty. It starts from Jiayuguan in Gansu in the west and reaches Hushankou on the Yalu River in Dandong, Liaoning in the east, spanning Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Mongolia, Hebei and Liaoning. Along the way, there are Shanhaiguan, Juyongguan, Niangziguan and other checkpoints. The Great Wall for short. The Great Wall was originally built by Yan, Zhao and other countries in the Warring States Period to defend against the invasion of northern aliens.

Qin Shihuang later connected these intermittent Great Walls. It is said that 300 thousand soldiers, millions of people and slaves were used at that time. However, the Great Wall cannot completely prevent foreign invasion. Because after the completion of the Great Wall, northern aliens still often cross the Great Wall, sneak attack villages on the border of China, and rob crops or livestock.

The Great Wall is the only three-dimensional building seen in space. It is not easy to build with modern science and technology, but it is really hard to get that our country was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period more than two thousand years ago. The building materials of the Great Wall are all made from local materials, which vary greatly from place to place. The Great Wall was built of mud and reeds in the Han Dynasty. The Great Wall varies in size. Take Juyongguan as an example, it is about 8.5 meters high, 8.5 meters wide at the lower part and 5 meters wide at the upper part. There is a castle (equivalent to a tower) every 70 ~ 100 meters, and its height is about 12.3 meters. Most castles are heavy, and there are only two or three key places.

The eastern section of the Great Wall passes through mountainous or hilly areas, which is called "cutting mountains to build ancient buildings" and "blocking roads with dangers" in ancient times, with ups and downs and magnificent shapes; The middle and west sections are arid areas, sparsely populated and desolate. If you visit Yanmenguan, Juyongguan, Gubeikou or Shanhaiguan, and overlook the excellent situation of mountains and rivers in China, you will be amazed at the difficulty of our ancestors in opening up territory and inspiring infinite thanks, Sir.

9. Port Alexandra outside Fallos Lighthouse.

In 332 BC, Alexander the Great of Macedonian Empire established an ancient city-Alexandria, west of the mouth of the Nile River in Egypt. After the death of Alexander the Great, the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt began to rise, and Alexandra became the capital of the Ptolemaic dynasty and prospered accordingly. In addition, Alexandra is located at the junction of Asia, Africa and Europe, and it can also lead to the ports of the Nile and the Mediterranean. You can imagine how prosperous Alexandra is and how developed world trade is. In addition, Faross Island in Alexandria has the Faroes lighthouse, one of the seven wonders of the world, shining on the harbor. There are also a large number of architectural relics such as temples and Egyptian royal palaces. Although Alexandra is so prosperous, today, Alexandra is beyond recognition. Scientists believe that most of these buildings collapsed due to a major earthquake in the fourth century AD. Scientists have carried out many excavations in Alexandria, including one in 1996. French experts claimed that a large ancient relic was found at the bottom of Alexandria, and traces of ancient roads and paving stones were also found. The investigators found the binaural bottle that sank to the bottom of the sea in ancient times. This is an ancient Greek jar with two handles, which was used to transport wine and other trade goods. The investigation team also found the head of the statue of Pharaoh. The staff first fixed the Pharaoh's head with metal utensils, and then sent the statue into the water with balloons. The survey was conducted at the possible location of the Fallows lighthouse. Just compare the head of the statue with the staff next to it, and you can imagine the huge statue. With these discoveries, many investigations have unearthed thousands of relics, most of which weigh several tons to dozens of tons. From these relics, we can gradually imagine the mysterious lighthouse of Fallows. Due to the prosperity of Alexandra and the backwardness of ancient directional navigation technology, it is conceivable that the Fallows lighthouse, which shines on the whole port, plays an extremely important role in defending the lives of ancient sailors. Whether future generations can have a clearer understanding of Fallows Lighthouse depends on whether the government and experts will pay attention to the excavation of Alexandria. If the excavation of Alexandria can be further developed, more architectural features can be reproduced.

10. Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Xi, China.

After visiting the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses, foreign heads of state and scholars think that the discovery of Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit is not only an important discovery in China, but also an important discovery in the world archaeological history, which can be said to be the eighth wonder in the world. It can be compared with Egyptian pyramids and ancient Greek sculptures, and is recognized as a valuable wealth of human culture in the world.

Archaeological discovery that shocked China and foreign countries 1974, China archaeologists unearthed more than 7,000 pieces of pottery figurines that have been sleeping for thousands of years, which is considered as an ancient miracle and the most spectacular archaeological discovery in this century. Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses are rare in the world in terms of quantity, quality and archaeological discoveries. They provide extremely valuable information for the in-depth study of the military, politics, economy, culture, science and art of the Qin Dynasty in the second century BC. It is not only the artistic treasure of China people, but also the cultural heritage of people all over the world.

The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, the treasure house of ancient clay sculpture art, are shaped with real life as the theme, with exquisite and vivid artistic techniques, different gestures and facial expressions, distinctive personality and strong characteristics of the times, which show the peak of clay sculpture art, add luster to the splendid ancient culture of the Chinese nation and add a glorious page to the history of world art.

I hope you are satisfied.
