2.  Was made completely made out of marble.  Located on the border of modern day town of Selçuk, Turkey. (Ephesus)  The temple was dedicated to the Greek Goddess Artemis also known as Diana :) (dunkin’!) (Apollos twin sister)  Completed around 650 BC ???  Herostratus…356 BC  Goths attack! 263 BC

3.  Initially designed and built by the Cretan architect Chresiphron and his son Metagenes.  Metagenes continued his fathers works as well as other architects that helped restore it.

4.  I DIDN’T FIND ANYTHING :/

5.  The Temple in its beauty and awesomeness attracted people such as merchants and worshipers and even kings!  The temple helped boost trade in turkey and it was seen as a symbol of faith to many people.  People contributed to filling the temple with lavish articles such as statues and golden or shiny items to adorn the temple to honor the Greek goddess.

6.  I don’t think it was ahead of its time it was just a very grandiose building compared to all the other buildings at that time.

7.  Sadly this is all that’s left of the Temple :(

8.  Well personally I don’t like underestimating things that mean a lot to people, and to many people Artemis was very important in their lives so this temple was an appreciation of her greatness; And to me, it was quite beautiful and great in its time. :)

9.  EXTRA CREDIT: Another architectural wonder found in the same place is: Sultan Ahmed Mosque/ “Blue Mosque”, in Istanbul, Turkey.
