Many years ago, there were cities, statues, cathedrals, pyramids,
and buildings made of bamboo, sand, clay, plaster, cobblestone,
blood, sweat, and tears. Lives were lost at the cost of these
creations. Not one worker knew the magnitude nor the attitude
that followed their construction. Even after their destruction,
they stood the test of time. Time has passed, yet the history lasts.
The Great Pyramid of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon,
the Statue of Zeus, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Lighthouse
of Alexandria, the Temple of Artemis, and the Mausoleum
of Halicarnassus tell us a story: a tragic story of life and death
and how they finally met. Now, what we have has been ruined
to no one’s fault. What is left is a gift from those before us.
We must appreciate old ruins before they all turn to dust.

Of all the ancient wonders, I probably would’ve enjoyed the Hanging Gardens the most. They must’ve been amazing.

That would be up there for me. I heard it was so lushious and alive! I like the Colossal oh Rhodes just for it’s sheer size and power!

The visual image of the big guy is arresting, to be sure! Gives a new meaning to the idiom “the sword of Damocles,” if you catch my drift. 😂🤣
