The 7 Wonders of the World By: Peter Moe
2
Egyptian Pyramids Constructed in 3,000 B.C. Built in Egypt in honor of the pharaohs Egyptians created curses to scare off tomb- robbers A pyramids four sides are in proportion to the compass directions These structures are still standing today
3
Colossus of Rhodes Constructed in 249 B.C. Built on the Isle of Rhodes in honor of Helios The structure crumbled after an earthquake It took twelve years to build
4
Pharos of Alexandria Constructed in 200 B.C. in honor of Zeus Built in Egypt The structure crumbled after an earthquake Lasted 900 years In it’s time, it was the tallest building around
5
The Greatest Wonder… To me, the greatest wonder is probably the ancient Egyptian pyramids; anyone can recognize these structures in an instant, (unlike the other six wonders, which I had never heard of before), and they are the only wonder still standing today. Their enormous size and durability over the years shows the Egyptians’ great intelligence and respect/ honor they showed towards their pharaoh.
