Las siete maravillas del mundo antiguo

This course will cover the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World using a combination of discussion, lecture, first-hand accounts, and archeological evidence to document the location and importance of these seven places in the ancient world. 

We will look at each wonder individually using surviving first-hand accounts and archeological remains to investigate the location and its importance to the world individually, who created it, and why. Using a timeline we will compare the existence of these locations and which we would like to visit, to rebuild, and the influence and impact these places have had on our world today. 

This famous list has influenced thousands of years of history, but why did it have such a lasting influence? 
Students will learn about:
the Great Pyramid of Giza
Colossus of Rhodes
Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Lighthouse of Alexandria
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
Statue of Zeus at Olympia
Temple of Artemis
