The Temple of Artemis was one of the Seven Marvels of the Ancient World.
O Templo de Artemis era uma das Sete Maravilhas do Mundo Antigo.
The Ruins of Artemis Temple |
Other temples were built hoping to emulate it’s beauty but none ever really achieved the same notoriety as the Artemisian.
This quote was written by Antipater of Sidon :
“...But when I saw the sacred house of Artemis that towers to the clouds, the [other Wonders] were placed in the shade, for the Sun himself has never looked upon its equal outside Olympus.” - read more at Delta Seven Studios

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThank you for marvelous model.
I just wanted to correct one thing, if you don't mind. The picture you put as today's photo of temple does not belong to wonder. It is also temple of Artemis but not in Ephesus, in Jordan. From wonder of ancient world only one column is left and the picture can be seen here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150303486776037&set=a.10150303483066037.352188.542696036&type=3&theater
