吉萨金字塔
吉萨金字塔
埃及吉萨的10座金字塔是古代七大奇迹之一，它们耸立在尼罗
吉萨金字塔远景
河两岸的沙漠之上，在离当时的首都孟菲斯（Menphis）不远（开罗西南80km）的吉萨（Giza）建造，是古埃及时 期最高的建筑成就。金字塔如此高大，使人们很容易相信它们是神或巨人所建造的古代传说。
建成的金字塔被用陵墓。古埃及人相信死后永生，金字塔内的墓穴的起初堆满了黄金和各种贵重物品。
胡夫金字塔是10座金字塔是最大的一座，在海夫拉金字塔祭祀厅堂的门厅旁边，有一座高约20m、长约46m的
狮身人首像，大部分就原地的岩石凿出。
奥林匹亚宙斯巨像
神像昂然地接受人们崇拜达九百多年，但最后基督教结 束一切。公元393年，罗马皇帝都路(Theodsius)一世，毅 然颁发止竞技的敕令，古代奥林匹克竞技大会也是在这一 年终止。接着，公元426年，又颁发了异教神庙破坏令， 于是宙斯神像就遭到破坏，菲迪斯亚的工作室亦被改为教 堂，古希腊从此灰飞烟灭；神庙内倾颓的石柱更在公元 522年及551年的地震中震垮，石材被拆，改建成抵御蛮 族侵略的堡垒，随后奥林匹亚地区经常发生洪水泛滥，整 个城市埋没在很厚的淤泥下。所幸的是，神像在这之前已 被运往君士坦丁堡(Constantinople)（现称伊斯坦堡）， 被路易西收藏于宫殿内达60年之久，可惜最后亦毁于城市 暴动中。

公元700年，亚历山大发生地震，灯室和波西顿立像塌毁。 关于此事，传说东罗马帝国一位皇帝企图

攻打亚历山大，但惧于其船队被灯塔照见，于是派人向倭 马亚王朝的哈里发进言，谎称塔底藏有亚历山大大帝的遗 物和珍宝。哈里发中计下令拆塔，但在黎民百姓的强烈反 对下，拆到灯室时便停止。880年，灯塔修复。1100年， 灯塔再次遭强烈地震的洗劫，仅残存下面第一部分，灯塔 失去往日的作用，成了一座瞭望台，在台上修建了一座清 真寺。1301年和1435年两次地震，塔全毁。
