Here's How Ancient Wonders of The World Would Look Today
Here's How Ancient Wonders of The World Would Look Today
and their ruins is on your bucket list. These can be moving pieces of art, or actual
structures that served a purpose when in use around the world in their day. While ruins
still exist in many of these locations, none of the biggest structures are to the quality they
were in their hay-day. So, artists Evgeny Kazantsev digitally recreated the magic of the
ancient world so that we could all see what they would look like in modern day
civilization.
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
150 feet tall, this mausoleum held the remains of Mausolus and his family and today you
can see the remains of its majestic and horrific beauty in modern day Turkey.
The Sphinx
Though we all know the famous Sphinx and how its missing nose makes it so famous
and modern at the same time, this recreation shows all of its natural beauty.
The Temple of Artemis
This beautiful temple was created for the Greek goddess, Artemis and is in what we
know as Turkey today. Though ruins are still visible today, this photo shows it original
beauty.
Mountain City of Petra
Beautiful in a natural kind of way, this mountain city in Souther Jordan shows how nature
can be manipulated to house humans in a natural way. This beautiful city can still be
seen today, but with much less detail.
Taqi ad-Din Observatory
This astronomical observatory only lived for three years, as it was created in a time when
many were opposed to the idea of astronomy. This tower is considered the largest every
observatory created in the Islamic culture.
The Tower of Babel
It’s hard to argue that this tower is anything but inspiring. It was originally referred to as
the structure that “reached towards the heavens.”. Put side by side with modern
buildings, we can see the large difference between modern and old life.
