The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of
the Greek god Helios, built on the
Greek island of Rhodes between 292
and 280 BC. It stood over 107 ft (30 m)
high, making it one of the tallest statues
of the ancient world. Made of iron and
brass atop a marble pedestal, it was
destroyed in an earthquake in 226 BC.
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were
built in the ancient city-state of Baby-
lon, near present-day Al Hillah, Babil, in
Iraq. The gardens were built by the
Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II
around 600 BC. He constructed the
gardens for his wife, who longed for
the trees and plants of her homeland.
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was a
tomb built between 353 and 350 BC at
Halicarnassus (now Bodrum, Turkey) for
Mausolus, a satrap (governor) in the
Persian Empire, and his wife Artemisia II
of Caria. The structure was designed
by Greek architects. It was decorated
with statues of people and animals.
The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was
made by the Greek sculptor Phidias,
circa 432 BC on the site where it was
erected in the Temple of Zeus, Olym-
pia, Greece. It was made of ivory and
gold-covered bronze. None of it re-
mains, although its image can be
found on Greek coins from that time.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest
and largest of the three pyramids near
El Giza, Egypt. The oldest of the Seven
Wonders of the Ancient World, it’s the
only one still in existence. It was built as
a tomb for fourth dynasty Egyptian
Pharaoh Khufu. It was the tallest struc-
ture in the world for almost 4000 years.
The Temple of Artemis was a Greek
temple dedicated to a goddess
Greeks identified as Artemis. It was
sited at Ephesus (in present-day Tur-
key), and was completely rebuilt three
times before its eventual destruction in
401. Only the foundation and some
fragments of the building remain.
The Lighthouse of Alexandria was built
between 280 and 247 BC on an island
near Alexandria, Egypt. It guided boats
into the Alexandria harbor. For centuries
it was the tallest structure on Earth. An
earthquake may have caused it to fall
into the sea. It can be viewed today on
the ocean floor off the Egyptian coast.
The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
are a collection of landmarks, including
buildings and statues, that became fa-
mous for their size and the skill required
to build them. They were amazing feats
of art and architecture. Greek travelers
in the 1st and 2nd century BC wrote of
these wonders in guidebooks.
Instructions: Print on cardstock, laminate, and cut cards apart.
Notes: The definitions included with this set are definitely just starting points. Any child who is interested in learning more
about these landmarks can research them using the internet (with a child-safe filter) or at the library.
Since only the Great Pyramid exists today, quite naturally the pictures of the other landmarks are paintings or drawings.
Artists’ ideas differ, so a child might want to research one of these landmarks further and look at other representations of it.
Since the Great Pyramid (intentionally only one of the three at Giza; the others were built later) is still around, it is repre-
sented with a photograph instead of a painting. Since it is still in existence, there are far fewer paintings of it.
