Today on Far Future Horizons we present Building the Impossible: The Seven Wonders
of the Ancient World.
This documentary reveals the secrets behind the construction of seven monuments built over 2000 years ago - the Pyramids of Egypt; the Hanging
Gardens of Babylon; the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus; the Statue of Zeus at
Olympia; the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus; the Colossus of Rhodes; and the Pharos
of Alexandria that came to be known as the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
By combing ancient historical sources for clues and making modern-day
comparisons, the ancient wonders are reconstructed using computer imagery and
scale models. Of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, only one, the Great Pyramid of Cheops survives today.
