Why is the Colossus of Rhode Island called the miracle of the world?

Because: The colossus of the sun god on Rhodes Island is considered as one of the seven wonders of the world. It was only 56 years from its establishment to its destruction, but the legend about it spread widely. How was this magical statue built? What is its shape? Where did you go after the crash? Rhodes Island is located at the junction of the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, 450 kilometers west of the Greek mainland and 0/9 kilometers north of the Turkish mainland, with an area of 0/400 square kilometers and a population of 70,000. The northern end of this tiny place is Rhodes, which is the capital of the whole island. 60% of the island's population is concentrated here, and the world-famous colossus of the sun god is located near the pier of Rhodes Island. As soon as tourists board the dock, they can see two circular stone pillars and two bronze deer on them, standing there alone, small and empty, without the majestic momentum they imagined. Deer is the symbol of Rhodes. The colossus once stood on it and watched Qian Fan play. There is a beautiful myth about Rhodes. In ancient times, Greek gods fought for the position of the Lord God, the colossus of Rhodes.

Zeus finally won and became the king of the gods. The ambitious Zeus began to reward and enfeoffment the gods after he ascended the throne, but forgot to leave a fief for Apollo, the sun god who was patrolling the Heavenly Palace at that time. Apollo was very unhappy when he came back. Zeus showed his divine power, pointing to a boulder hidden in the depths of the Aegean Sea, and gave it to Apollo. The boulder happily surfaced to welcome Apollo. This late fief was surrounded by blue sea water, with beautiful scenery and warm climate. Apollo was quite satisfied, so he named it Rhodes Island after his beloved wife Rhodes (the daughter of Aphrodite, the goddess of love). His three sons, Carminhos, Monolisos and Linzos, were enfeoffed all over the island and established their own polis. Although this is a myth, there are three city-states on Rhodes, namely, Carminhos, Monolisos and Linzos. With its geographical advantages, fertile soil and good climate, Rhodes Island, which is at the junction of east and west, has gradually developed into an important commercial center in the Mediterranean. In 408 BC, the three city-states united to form a unified Rhodes State, and established a federal capital at the northern end of the island, which became Rhodes City. The prosperity of Rhodes attracted people from the Greek mainland to do business, settle down or run schools here, and the culture on the island soon flourished. It was at this time that Islander Pi Sandroos wrote the epic Illyria, and then the great Greek philosopher Aristotle came to Rhodes to recruit disciples and teach philosophy. Ace Honys, a great orator in Athens, also established a school on the island. Rhodes Island has a strong literary style and became one of the famous cultural centers at that time. In the first half of the 4th century BC, the Greek-Persian war was in full swing. As a member of the Greek world, Luo Deguo naturally cannot stay out of it. In 377 BC, Rhodes joined the second Tyrol League organized by Athens to jointly resist the Persian aggression, but at the instigation of others, Rhodes withdrew from the League shortly after (356 BC). After the Greek-Persian War, the protracted Peloponnesian War took place in Greece, and its strength was greatly weakened in the infighting. It was conquered by Alexander of Macedonia, who later rose, and the Greek world declined. When Alexander's power was in full swing, the little Luo Deguo managed to maintain his independence, but its affluence impressed the neighboring powers, and they were determined to follow quickly. Alexander and Persia invaded Rhodes successively, and the kingdom of Rhodes was in jeopardy. Radical mausoleum

After Alexander's untimely death, various ministries fought for power and profit, and the empire was finally divided into three parts, with Antioch, Seleucus and Ptolemy in the three pillars. Due to the close economic ties with Egypt, Rhodes maintained good relations with Ptolemy I Soter. In 305 BC, Wang Andike I of Macedonia, who had long coveted Rhodes, sent his son Damaris to lead 40,000 troops and invaded Rhodes on a large scale. Strong enemy, the island's residents retreat to the island's eastern headland Linzos Castle, do or die. Linzos Castle is built on a hill submerged in the sea, with steep cliffs on three sides, as high as 100 meters. The city wall is built on a cliff, and the battlements are guarded by fortresses, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In this way, the residents of the whole island finally defeated the invaders by natural barrier. The Macedonian army gave up its helmet and armor and suffered a crushing defeat. In 304 BC, the two sides signed a peace treaty. To commemorate this victory, the residents of Rhodes collected bronze guns discarded by Macedonian army and melted them all. The sculptor Harrietas is responsible for casting the statue of Apollo (also called Helias by Rhodes residents), because Apollo is the legendary protector of Rhodes, and the local residents thank Apollo for his blessing. It took Harritas 12 years (from 294 BC to 282 BC) to create this colossus. According to records, this statue is about 33 meters high and weighs 12.5 tons. Its fingers are taller than people, and the interior of bigfoot can be used as a living cave. The statue is hollow, reinforced with stones and iron columns, and covered with a bronze shell. Legend has it that the statue of the sun god wears the crown of the sun's rays, holds a whip in his left hand, holds the torch high in his right hand, and stands on the stone base of the harbor with his feet, allowing ships to enter and exit from his crotch.
