The 7 Wonders Of The Ancient World

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

A small model of one of the first wonders of the ancient world.

In Babylon there was a great king whose name was Nebuchadnezzar II.  He built this ancient wonder for his wife Amytis of Media as a gift because she missed the beautiful landscape of her homeland.

It was built out of bricks and was a huge innovation for the ancient world, with running waterfalls flowing down the sides of the structure.

How was it possible for the plants to say alive on bricks?  Well, the bricks were mud: shaped to perfection and dried in the sun, and also the plants were irrigated with a complex water system.

This truly must have been a magnificent sight to behold.

To show the size of my model, here is the height comparison with a LEGO® Beorn™ minifigure.

The Lighthouse of Alexandria

 This is my miniature LEGO® model of the Lighthouse of Alexandria.

 The Lighthouse (also known as the Pharos) was the first ever skyscraper standing between 393 and 450 feet tall.  This wonder of the ancient world was a very great architectural feat.

Its building was issued by Alexander the Great because Alexandria was a ginormous port for trade so Alexander had it built to light the way of merchants and travelers.

Scroll down really fast now.

Okay, your good.

Here is the back.

It's nighttime now.

The Great Pyramid At Giza

This is my model of the Pyramid at Giza: the most known Wonder of the Ancient World.  It was a tomb built by and for the Egyptian Pharaoh Kufu (or Cheops).  It was traditional for Egyptian Pharaoh's to build themselves giant tombs.  Kufu wanted to top all the other Egyptian tombs, so he designed what would be the tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years and set his slaves to work building it.  It took Roughly 20 years to build and was built by dragging huge, perfectly cut, slabs of stones from a quarry and fitting them into their spots with unmatched precision.  The Pyramid used to have a layer of smooth limestone covering the stepped rock but it decayed over time.

It is the oldest standing wonder of the ancient world.

It is an amazing sight to behold.
