Viggen Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 The mayor of Rhodes relaunched an often-delayed project to rebuild the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Greek news agency ANA reported. Mayor Yannis Iatridis at a press conference proposed building the gigantic statue of the sun god Helios on a hill near the seaside resort of Faliraki. full article at Yahoo News Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skel Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 im gonna have to say i have mixed feelings on this... on one hand, omg its a wonder of the world of course rebuild! do what ever you can to make it last forever! on the other, isnt it sort of the great mystery of it that also makes it one of the seven wonders? i mean, if it was still built today, yes it would have been architectual marvel from the times, but would it have been worthy of a Wonder?

Fafnir Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Perhaps Egypt will rebuild the Lighthouse of Alexandria after this? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursus Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I am admittedly biased, but I think it's a good idea. Amazing how much we Westeners are embracing our classical heritage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spartacus Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I have been to Rhodes and visited the harbour, I think a re-build is a wonderful idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
