Beskrivelse af Wonders of the World
Two manuscripts in one book:
Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: A Captivating Guide to the Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Temple of Artemis, Statue of Zeus, Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, and More
Seven Wonders of the New World: A Captivating Guide to the Great Wall of China, Colosseum, Petra, Christ the Redeemer, Machu Picchu, Taj Mahal, and Chichén Itzá
The ancient world was home to some of the greatest civilizations in history. The Egyptians, the Greeks, the Babylonians, and others wanted to leave their mark on history so others would remember their greatness. And what better way to explore that greatness than to examine some of the greatest wonders the world has ever known?
In the first part of this book, you will discover:
How many of the wonders are still around today?
Were all of these wonders actually real, or are they more mythical in nature?
Why were these wonders built in the first place?
What happened to them? Did they fall apart over time, or did something catastrophic happen?
How big do historians think these wonders were?
In the second part of this book, you can easily explore the gripping events that led to the construction of the Seven Wonders of the New World.
In the second part of this book, you will learn about:
The dark side of the construction of the Great Wall of China
The different types of performances once held in the Colosseum
The rediscovery of Machu Picchu and its mistaken identity
The mysteries behind Chichén Itzá's temples
How the Nabateans hand-carved their city out of the cliffs
How the Taj Mahal changes colors during the day
How Christ the Redeemer was installed on the mountain
And much, much more!
