The Temple of Artemis - The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (audiobook with images) • ➡️ The Temple of Artemis, located in Ephesus (in modern-day Turkey), was one of the grandest and most revered structures of the ancient world, earning its place among the Seven Wonders. Dedicated to Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and fertility, the temple was first built around 550 BCE under the patronage of King Croesus of Lydia. The temple of Artemis was renowned for its immense size and elaborate decoration, with 127 marble columns standing 18 meters (60 feet) tall, each intricately carved and adorned. The structure was not only a place of worship but also a symbol of the prosperity and cultural richness of Ephesus, drawing pilgrims and visitors from across the ancient world to marvel at its splendor. • The Temple of Artemis was destroyed and rebuilt several times throughout its history, with the most famous destruction occurring in 356 BCE when it was set ablaze by Herostratus, a man seeking notoriety. Despite its repeated reconstructions, the final destruction came at the hands of a Gothic invasion in 262 CE, and later by Christian zealots who saw the Artemis temple as a symbol of paganism. Today, only a single column and a few scattered ruins remain at the site, yet the legacy of the Temple of Artemis lives on through ancient texts and historical records. The temple is remembered as an architectural masterpiece and a testament to the artistic and religious devotion of the people who built and worshipped there. • ➡️ The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were remarkable constructions celebrated for their extraordinary architecture, artistry, and sheer scale. These wonders included the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in Mesopotamia, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia in Greece, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus in modern-day Turkey, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt. Each of these wonders was built during the classical era and represented the pinnacle of human creativity and engineering of their time. While only the Great Pyramid of Giza remains standing today, the Seven Wonders continue to inspire awe and curiosity, symbolizing the enduring legacy of the ancient civilizations that created them. • ✅ See The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: • The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World • ✅ See also Vasari's Lives of the Artists: • Vasari Lives of the Artists • ✅ See also Van Gogh's letters and paintings: • Van Gogh's Letters (complete audioboo... • Link to this video: • The Temple of Artemis - The Seven Won... • The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - 0:00 • The Temple of Artemis - 0:21 • 👉 Subscribe to our channel and stay on top of news!: • / @artproject_youtube • #sevenwonders #arthistory #artproject
