Скачать или смотреть Colossus Of Rhodes: 108-Foot Bronze Giant Built From Siege Weapons, Destroyed After Just 54 Years

Explore the Colossus of Rhodes—a 108-foot bronze statue of sun god Helios, the tallest statue in the ancient world and one of the Seven Wonders. Built over 12 years using bronze melted from siege weapons left by Demetrius Poliorcetes after his failed attack on Rhodes in 305 BCE, this engineering marvel stood for only 54 years before an earthquake in 226 BCE snapped it at the knees.
How did ancient Greeks build a skyscraper-sized hollow bronze statue? Could it have actually stood or is the story exaggerated myth? Why did it remain fallen for 800 years? Discover the earth ramp construction technique, internal iron framework, the impossible straddling-harbor myth, oracle warnings against rebuilding, modern reconstruction proposals, and recent archaeological discoveries possibly locating the original foundation beneath Rhodes.
