More than 2,000 years ago, travelers wrote about the incredible sights they saw while on their journeys. They told tales of hanging gardens that were built for a Babylonian queen, and a colossal statue that guided ships through the harbor of Rhodes in Greece. These writers compiled a list of the very best of these sights that are now known as the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Author Yona Zeldis McDonough takes the readers on a trip to the Lighthouse of Alexandria and the Great Pyramids in Egypt (the only Wonder still standing), the Statue of Zeus at Olympia and the Colossus of Rhodes in ancient Greece, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, and the Temple of Artemis, detailing the creativity and skill that these early civilizations possessed.

 

2,000多年前，旅行者寫下了旅途中不可思議的景點。他們講述了為巴比倫女王建造的空中花園的傳說，以及引導船隻穿越希臘羅德斯港口的巨大雕像。

 

這些作家整理出最精采景點，這些景點現在被稱為古代世界七大奇蹟。作家約納·澤爾迪斯·麥克唐納帶領讀者參觀了埃及的偉大金字塔（唯一一座仍屹立的奇觀），古希臘奧林匹亞的宙斯雕像和其他奇觀，詳細介紹了這些早期文明所具有的創造力和技巧。
