The original statue is 34m tall, sculpted with bronze and iron pillars, erected from 280 BC at the port of Mandraki, Rhodes Island and shaped like a stylized gate. The Colossus of Rhodes, however, collapsed in an earthquake 56 years after its inauguration. Local people didn’t dare to re-erect the statue for fear of offending the Sun God.
“As a local people, I’m very proud and happy when the city launches such a unique and attractive tourist site, which is a considerable advancement. It’s very bustling here, you know, there are people laughing, chit-chatting, and taking pictures everywhere I go”, Nhu Y said. “This is my first visit here, therefore I could not name all of the wonders. I’ll start learning about those world wonders when I go home for sure”, she added.
