The seven wonders of the world

SevenWondersoftheWorld世界七大奇观

SevenWondersoftheWorld世界七大奇观SevenWondersoftheWorld世界七大奇观The only surviving wonder of the ancient world is the Great Pyramid. It was built nearly 5,000 years ago as the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh3 Khufu, who ruled about 2,700 B.C. Covering an area of 13 acres at its base, the pyramid contains nearly 2,500,000 well-cut stone blocks. Each block weighs about 2.5 tons, although some weigh many tons more. At its peak4 the pyramid originally5 rose to a height of 481 feet. The area it occupies could contain four of the largest European churches. Yet the men who built it did not have even animals for labor, let alone machinery. Even the wheel was unknown to them, and the huge stone blocks were then pulled by an enormous number of laborers. The only mechanical aids they had were levers6, and primitive7 cutting tools. Yet in spite of these difficulties, the Great Pyramid is so accurately constructed that a thin piece of glass can hardly be inserted8 between the close-fitting stones.2．Hanging Gardens of BabylonThe next oldest wonder was the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The 5th century Greek historian Herodotus has left us a full description of the gardens in all their glory. They were created over 2,500 years ago by King Nebuchadnezzar Ⅱ(605—562B.C.). Some say he had them made to delight his young bride9, who came from mountainous Persia10. Babylonia lay in the flat land of Mesopotamia11 and had no mountains. On the banks of the Euphrates River, which flowed through his royal city, the King’s workmen raised an artificial12 hill 350 feet high. It was made up of a series of platforms with trees, lawns13, and flowers. Water from the river was pumped14 to the top of the hill and allowedto flow down through canals and small waterfalls. A heaven of coolness and beauty was created in that hot, thirsty land. Little remains of Babylon today except piles15 of broken mud brick.3．Statue16 of ZeusThe huge figure of Zeus, King of the Gods, stood in the Temple of Zeus at Olympia in Greece. It was completed about 456 B.C. The statue rose to a height of 40 feet and almost touched the temple ceiling17. It was made of thin plates of gold and ivory18, covering a wooden form. The eyes were made of two large jewels. The statue was moved to Constantinople in the 5th century A.D. and was destroyed by fire about 475. Today visitors to Olympia, where the first Olympic Games were held, see only the foundations19 of the building in which it stood. But the workshop where the parts of the statue were prepared has been discovered nearby. Here some of the tools and even the molds20 from which the gold plates were made can still be seen.4．Temple of DianaDiana was the Roman name for Artemis, the Greek goddess of the moon, protecting unmarried girls and animals. She was worshipped21 in many places, but her most important temple was at Ephesus, near the coast22 of present-day Turkey. The temple, built in the 4th century B.C., was of white marble23, enriched with gold and silver. Precious24 jewels were stored below the temple. It was so lovely that it put all the other wonders in the shade. 5．MausoleumAlso in Asia Minor(modern Turkey) was the Mausoleum. It was a marble tomb built for King Mausolus(?—353B.C.) by his wife, Artemisia(?—350?B.C). So beautiful was this monument that the word mausoleum has passe d into our language and now means “burial place”. Unlike thepyramid and the T emple of Diana, the Mausoleum was not large. It was a bright jewel of a building, made of shining white marble. Rising to a height of 140 feet on a mound25 overlooking the little port of Halicarnassus, it was visible to ships entering the harbor. Its courtyard was surrounded26 by a wall. In the center of the court stood a high platform that was approached by splendid marble steps. Lions carved27 in marble guarded the approach. On a second wall surrounding the platform were more statues. At each corner were statues of proud warriors28 on horses. Other carved horses drew the chariot29 on the top of the building. In the chariot stood figures. Only a few fragments30 of this splendid mausoleum remain. Some are now in the British Museum in London. From these, scholars31 have been able to reconstruct the building in model form.6．Colossus of RhodesThis statue of the sun god Helios towered above the harbor of Rhodes, an island in the Aegean Sea. It stood over 100 feet high on a stone base that was itself higher than most statues. The Colossus was built in 280 B.C. It was made of metal32 that had been melted33 down from the arms used by Demetrius (337?-283 B.C.) when he attacked Rhodes in 305 B.C. After bravely resisting and defeating this invader34, the Rhodians built the statue as thanks offering to their god. The Colossus shaded35 its eyes and gazed out to sea. Twenty times the height of a man, it stood at the harbor entrance for only 56 years. In 224 B.C. it was thrown to the ground by an earthquake36. The large metal plates lay there for centuries until, in the 7th century A.D, they were carried away and sold by tradesmen.7．PharosThe pharos was the forerunner37 of all lighthouses. It wasbuilt on the island of Pharos near Alexandria, the gateway to Egypt, between 285 and 247 B.C. It stood about 400 feet high and was built in levels. The top supported a pan38 in which a fire burned day and night. A huge mirror, possibly made of metal, reflected the light so brightly that it could be seen far out at sea. Inside the building were 300 rooms. Horse-drawn carts carried fuel up to the ever-burning light. The Pharos was destroyed by an earthquake in the 14th century A.D. Some people believe that on calm days its fragments still can be seen below the waters of the harbor.In every generation, man creates new marvels that can be added to the list of wonders of the world.自文明产生以来，人类就运用自己的技巧和才能制造了许多奇迹。

世界七大奇迹英语作文朗读

世界七大奇迹英语作文朗读The Seven Wonders of the World.The Seven Wonders of the World are a celebrated collection of remarkable architectural achievements that have fascinated and amazed people for centuries. These wonders, each unique in their own way, span across different cultures and epochs, telling the story of human ingenuity and creativity.The first wonder we encounter is the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt. This colossal structure, built as a tomb for the Pharaoh Khufu, stands as a testament to the advanced engineering skills of the ancient Egyptians. With its four triangular faces and a square base, the pyramid rises majestically against the horizon, a symbol of enduring mystery and grandeur.Next, we travel to the ancient city of Babylon in Mesopotamia, where we find the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.These gardens, renowned for their beauty and complexity, were said to have been constructed on a series of terraces that hung precariously over a cliff. Their existence, however, remains a matter of debate, as no physicalevidence has been found to confirm their location or existence.Moving westward, we arrive at the Colossus of Rhodes, a statue of the Greek sun god Helios that once stood guard over the harbor of the island of Rhodes. This colossal statue, said to be one of the seven wonders, was made of bronze and measured over 30 meters in height. Unfortunately, like many of the ancient wonders, the Colossus of Rhodeswas destroyed by an earthquake in the 3rd century AD.Crossing the Mediterranean, we visit the Lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt. This lighthouse, once the tallest building in the world, was a beacon of navigation for mariners for centuries. Its design, which featured a series of reflectors that concentrated sunlight to create a powerful beam, made it a technological marvel of its time.Turning our attention to Asia, we encounter the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, a tomb built for the Satrap of Caria in the 4th century BC. This tomb, known for its elegant design and intricate carvings, was considered a masterpiece of ancient architecture. However, over time, the mausoleum was destroyed by earthquakes and invaders, leaving only a fraction of its original grandeur.Next, we travel to the ancient city of Pergamum in Turkey, where we find the Temple of Artemis, dedicated to the Greek goddess of the same name. This temple, said to have been one of the largest and most beautiful temples of its time, was unfortunately destroyed by fire in the 4th century AD.Finally, we arrive at the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Greece. This colossal statue, which was made of ivory and gold and measured over 13 meters in height, was a symbol of the power and grandeur of the ancient Greek gods. It stood in the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, a sacred site dedicated to the worship of the god. However, like many of the ancient wonders, the statue of Zeus was destroyed by firein the 5th century AD.The Seven Wonders of the World are not just monuments; they are testaments to the rich history and culture of humanity. They stand as silent witnesses to the achievements and aspirations of past generations, inspiring us to continue to push the boundaries of our own creativity and ingenuity. As we gaze upon these wonders, we are reminded of the enduring power of human spirit and the limitless possibilities of what we can achieve.。

介绍世界七大奇迹英语作文

介绍世界七大奇迹英语作文The Seven Wonders of the World have always fascinated people around the globe. These architectural marvels, built by ancient civilizations, continue to astound us with their grandeur and mystery. In this essay, we will explore and delve into the history and significance of each of the Seven Wonders of the World.The Great Pyramid of Giza, located in Egypt, is the oldest and only surviving wonder from the original list compiled by ancient Greek scholars. Built as a tomb for the Pharaoh Khufu around 2560 BC, it stands as a testament to the engineering prowess of the ancient Egyptians. The pyramid is an imposing structure, standing at a height of 481 feet and consisting of an estimated 2.3 million stone blocks. Its construction techniques, still not fully understood, continue to amaze historians and architects.The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, often considered the most enigmatic of the Seven Wonders, were said to have beenbuilt by King Nebuchadnezzar II around 600 BC. These lush and verdant gardens were a marvel of engineering, as they were constructed on a series of terraces supported by stone columns. Despite their fame, there is ongoing debate among historians regarding their actual existence, with some arguing that they may have been a poetic invention rather than a physical structure.The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was a colossal seated statue of the Greek god Zeus, created by the renowned sculptor Phidias around 435 BC. Located in the Temple of Zeus in Olympia, Greece, the statue was approximately 40 feet tall and made of gold and ivory. Unfortunately, the statue was destroyed in a fire during the 5th century AD, leaving behind only descriptions and depictions to capture its magnificence.The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, also known as the Artemision, was a Greek temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis. Constructed around 550 BC, it was an architectural masterpiece adorned with intricate sculptures and reliefs. The temple was destroyed and rebuilt multiple times, withthe final destruction occurring in 401 AD. Today, only a few fragments remain, but they serve as a reminder of the temple's former glory.The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, built around 350 BC, was a tomb for Mausolus, the ruler of Caria in present-day Turkey. The mausoleum was an elaborate structure adorned with sculptures and reliefs, showcasing the artistic skills of the time. Although the mausoleum was destroyed by a series of earthquakes, its influence can still be seen in the word "mausoleum," which now refers to any grand tomb.The Colossus of Rhodes was an enormous bronze statue of the Greek god Helios, erected on the island of Rhodes in Greece around 280 BC. Standing at an estimated height of 108 feet, it was one of the tallest statues of the ancient world. Unfortunately, the statue was toppled by an earthquake in 226 BC, and its remains were eventually sold as scrap metal. Despite its short lifespan, the Colossus of Rhodes remains an iconic symbol of ancient Greek civilization.The Lighthouse of Alexandria, also known as the Pharos of Alexandria, was a towering structure built on the island of Pharos in Egypt around 280 BC. Standing at an estimated height of 330 feet, it was one of the tallest man-made structures of the ancient world. The lighthouse served as a navigational aid for ships entering the harbor of Alexandria. It was severely damaged by earthquakes in the 14th century AD and eventually demolished, leaving behind only ruins and legends.In conclusion, the Seven Wonders of the World are a testament to the ingenuity, skill, and creativity of ancient civilizations. Despite the passage of time and the destruction of some of these wonders, their legacy lives on in our collective imagination. These architectural marvels continue to inspire awe and wonder, reminding us of the remarkable achievements of our ancestors.。

The Great Wall
• The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in China, built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 5th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire during the rule of successive dynasties.
• 不管气势如何磅礴，长城毕竟只是一堵城墙，还不足以让一个王朝安全地躲在它背后度日。有趣的是中国历史上最兴盛的唐朝，竟是少数没有修建过长城的王朝之一。它以自己的繁盛和实力，辐射着周边小国，以交流代替交战，长城也便失去了它存在的意义。如此看来，万里长城的修筑，一方面当然是中国人智慧与力量的展示，是各个朝代军事防御的历史，另一方面，似乎也是一种失败的证明。顾炎武论及明末发生在居庸关的战事时感叹到：“地非不险，城非不高，兵非不多，粮非不足也，国法不行而人心去也。”一旦王朝接近没落，长城也并不能真正抵挡什么。

Based on a mark in an interior chamber naming the work gang and a reference to fourth dynastyEgyptian Pharaoh Khufu. Egyptologists believe that the pyramid was built as a tomb over a 10 to 20-year period concluding around 2560 BC. Initially at 146.5 meters (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered by casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface; what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base. There have been varying scientific and alternative theories about the Great Pyramid's construction techniques. Most accepted construction hypotheses are based on the idea that it was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place.
