The Ancient Seven Wonders Of The World

 

The 4th old wonder of the world!!!

The Statue at Zeus is located near the west edge of Greece in a city called Peloponnesus. The statue was simple at first, but as the games became more popular everyone could tell that they would need a new, larger temple that was worthy to the king of the Gods. Between 470 B.C. and460 B.C. a new temple was started. The temple was finished in 456 B.C. It was built on a raised rectangular platform. The sides were supported by 13 large columns and six on each end. Inside was placed a statue of Zeus, created of ivory and gold over a wooden frame, it was 22 feet by 40 feet tall, with a statue of Zeus placed on a throne and almost touching the ceiling.
