The Wonders That Fell

The six other wonders could not stand the test of time. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Statue of Zeus both were destroyed by earthquakes. The Temple of Artemis was torn down by a mob. As far as the Colossus of Rhodes is concerned the legends say that it was bought and melted down by a merchant in 654 CE.
