 In 305 BC, the Macedonian Antigonites, the successors of Alexander the Great, attacked Rhodes and the siege lasted for 1 year.  With the peace in 304 BC, the Rhodesians wanted to have a statue made to express their gratitude to the gods.  The statue symbolizing the Sun God Helios, made by the sculptor Haris of Lindos, is 32 meters high and made of bronze.  Its construction took 12 years and was completed in 282 BC.

 There is a legend that ships passed between the legs of the statue standing at the port entrance, but it is thought that it was not possible to make such a statue with the construction techniques and materials of those times.

 The shape of the statue was prepared based on the drawings and narratives, and the French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi made the Statue of Liberty in New York, inspired by the Statue of Rhodes.[1]]]> 2023-04-23 20:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/yildizarifsafa/68j6a6p8msvvo679/wish/2564806433 Alexandria Lighthouse History yildizarifsafa https://padlet.com/yildizarifsafa/68j6a6p8msvvo679/wish/2564806702 The lighthouse, which was built between 285 and 246 BC, is the first two kings of this state, Ptolemy Soter I and II.  It was built by Ptolemy on the Pharos Island opposite the Alexandria Harbor in Egypt.

 The architect of the lighthouse, which consists of three parts, is Sostratus of Knidos.  The lantern, which is 135 meters high with its pedestal, was made of white marble.  A large bronze mirror on top was visible from 70 kilometers away and was guiding ships entering the harbour.  Its lower section was rectangular and about 55 meters high.  The middle section was shaped like a cylinder with an upward ramp.  It was about 27 meters high.  The upper part was cylindrical and had a chamber with a flame on it.

 The Lighthouse of Alexandria is the only artifact used for daily life among the seven wonders of antiquity.

 The upper part of the lighthouse was destroyed in an earthquake and storm in AD 955, and the body of the lighthouse was destroyed in another earthquake in 1302.  In 1500, the remains of this structure were completely destroyed.

 It was called Pharos because of the island on which it was built, and this word has settled in many languages. Pharos means lighthouse in Spanish, French and Italian. His paintings, made before they were destroyed, have served as a model for lighthouses around the world for hundreds of years.

 The mausoleum was rising at the place where the pit seen today is located, as can be understood from the places where the bedrock was cut and the green stones.  One of the last to see the monument standing, M.S.  Bishop Eustathios who lived in the 12th century.  This shows that the monument has survived for 1500 years.  After this date, it is thought that an earthquake destroyed the monument.  When the Knights of Saint Jean came to Bodrum in 1402, they saw the monument as ruined.  The knights used the monument as a quarry, and they built the Bodrum Castle by removing almost all of its stones.  The first destruction was done by the knights in 1494.  The actual burial chamber, located in the deepest part of the pit, was not found by the knights at that time, so it was saved from extinction.  In 1522, the Knights of Saint Jean wanted to strengthen their castles and searched for old building stones to be used in the construction of the castle.  Mausoleum, has suffered in recent destruction that date.  La Touret, one of the knights who took part in the strengthening of the castle, wrote in his memory the destruction of the tomb monument.  He tells how they found the 12-step staircase, which is trying to be partially preserved under a tile roof today, and how they first admired the statues and reliefs on both sides of the corridor leading to the burial chamber, and then smashed them.  Just when they were about to enter the burial chamber, the break-up horn sounded;  He wrote that they returned to the castle without entering the main chamber, and that when they came the next day, the burial chamber was opened, and they saw precious fabrics and gold ornaments in pieces all over the place.]]> 2023-04-23 20:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/yildizarifsafa/68j6a6p8msvvo679/wish/2564808382 yildizarifsafa https://padlet.com/yildizarifsafa/68j6a6p8msvvo679/wish/2564812528 2023-04-23 20:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/yildizarifsafa/68j6a6p8msvvo679/wish/2564812528 yildizarifsafa https://padlet.com/yildizarifsafa/68j6a6p8msvvo679/wish/2564813646 2023-04-23 20:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/yildizarifsafa/68j6a6p8msvvo679/wish/2564813646 yildizarifsafa https://padlet.com/yildizarifsafa/68j6a6p8msvvo679/wish/2564815222
Lighthouses serve as beacons for all those at sea, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria was no different. However, its impressive architectural design of 100 meters of sandstone and limestone was far from simple, being one of the world’s tallest man-made structures for centuries.

Built during the time of pharaoh Ptolemy II Philadelphus on the small island of Pharos, it was said to have been crowned with a mirror that reflected sunlight during the day and fire at night, making it visible from up to 50 km away. Though the lighthouse was damaged in earthquakes and survived until 1480, “pharos” became the root word for lighthouse in Greek]]> 2023-04-23 20:53:04 UTC https://padlet.com/yildizarifsafa/68j6a6p8msvvo679/wish/2564815222 yildizarifsafa https://padlet.com/yildizarifsafa/68j6a6p8msvvo679/wish/2564815506
Back in 304 BCE, Greece’s harbor city of Rhodes successfully resisted a year-long siege, and its people celebrated by using abandoned weaponry to create an enormous statue of the ancient Greek god of the Sun, Helios.

It stood over the port entry to the city, and was about the same height (33 meters) as the Statue of Liberty from feet to crown. And though the Colossus technically fell after a 226 BCE earthquake, it lay on the ground and was still impressive for another 800 years.]]> 2023-04-23 20:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/yildizarifsafa/68j6a6p8msvvo679/wish/2564815506 yildizarifsafa https://padlet.com/yildizarifsafa/68j6a6p8msvvo679/wish/2564815848 Much like today’s Alexandria or Babylon, Halicarnassus was a thriving ancient city and capital of Caria. Its most famous ruler was Mausolus, the king of Caria, and when building the capital he also commissioned an elaborate above-ground tomb for himself.

Built in 351 BCE, the Mausoleum was over 45 meters tall and adorned with stunning sculptures and intricate carvings. Though it was destroyed by many local earthquakes between the 12th and 15th centuries, its legacy lives on as the word mausoleum went on to define stately, magnificent tombs.]]> 2023-04-23 20:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/yildizarifsafa/68j6a6p8msvvo679/wish/2564815848
