The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: An Extraordinary New Journey Through History's Greatest Treasures
Description:
An immersive, awe-inspiring tour of the ancient sites that kindle our imagination and afford us a glimpse into our shared history
"This fascinating book is brimming with stories of people and places, all told with Bettany's natural sense of wonder and adventure." --Simon Sebag Montefiore, New York Times bestselling author of The World
For millennia, the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World have been known for their aesthetic sublimity, ingenious engineering, and sheer, audacious magnitude: The Great Pyramids of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus, the Mausoleum of Halikarnassos, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse at Alexandria. Echoing down time, each of these persists in our imagination as an emblem of the glory of antiquity, but beneath the familiar images is a surprising, revelatory history. Guiding us through it is historian Bettany Hughes, who has traveled to each of the sites to uncover the latest archaeological discoveries and bring these monuments and the distinct cultures that built them back to breathtaking life. Spellbinding, richly illustrated, and full of insight, The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is a journey into the indomitable ambition and creativity of the human spirit.
