14. Read some additional information about ancient wonders:
1. Rhodes, an island near Greece, was one of the richest and busiest towns of the ancient world. Standing across the entrance to its big harbour, was a huge statue of the sun god Helios, famous as the Colossus of Rhodes. The statue was one hundred and ten feet high and stood upon a fifty-foot pedestal near the harbor mole. The statue stood for only 56 years until Rhodes was hit by the 226 BC Rhodes earthquake. Although ships sailed beneath his giant feet, the Colossus was not as large as the American Statue of Liberty with which it is sometimes compared
2. The most famous lighthouse in ancient times was the Pharos of Alexandria also known as the Lighthouse of Alexandria. It was built between 280 and 247 BC by Alexander the Great on the island of Pharos at Alexandria, Egypt. Its purpose was to guide sailors into the harbour at night time. There are ancient claims that the light atop a high tower could be seen from up to 29 miles (47 km) away. Unconfirmed legends claim the light from Pharos could burn enemy ships before they reached shore. With a height variously estimated at between 393 and 450 ft (120 and 140 m), it was for many centuries among the tallest manmade structures on Earth. The lighthouse was badly damaged in the earthquake of 956, then again in 1303 and 1323.

shorter.
