The ancient world was home to some of the greatest civilizations in history. The Egyptians, the Greeks, the Babylonians, and others wanted to leave their mark on history so others would remember their greatness. And what better way to explore that greatness than to examine some of the greatest wonders the world has ever known?
In the first part of this book, you will discover:
How many of the wonders are still around today? Were all of these wonders actually real, or are they more mythical in nature? Why were these wonders built in the first place? What happened to them? Did they fall apart over time, or did something catastrophic happen? How big do historians think these wonders were?
In the second part of this book, you can easily explore the gripping events that led to the construction of the Seven Wonders of the New World.
In the second part of this book, you will learn about:
The dark side of the construction of the Great Wall of China The different types of performances once held in the Colosseum The rediscovery of Machu Picchu and its mistaken identity The mysteries behind Chichen Itza's temples How the Nabateans hand-carved their city out of the cliffs How the Taj Mahal changes colors during the day How Christ the Redeemer was installed on the mountain And much, much more!
