2 The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
King Mausolus was a ruler of a small kingdom in Asia Minor. He was married to Artemisia, who loved him dearly. When the king died, his wife decided to build her husband the most magnificent tomb in the world.

3 The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
The tomb was called the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. It was so splendid that the Greeks selected the tomb to be one of the seven wonders of the world.  Today, there is nothing left of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus except a story about a queen who loved her husband dearly.
