From the book:
Take a look at this striking statue of the Greek sun god, Helios. Known as the Colossus of Rhodes, the bronze statue stood in a busy harbor and was designed by Chares of Lyndus. It was built in 280 BC on the Greek island of Rhodes, and it took 12 years complete! Sadly, the 33-meter-tall masterpiece was destroyed in 226 BC by an earthquake.
