Why are the seven wonders of the world called miracles?

The seven wonders of the world are called miracles because they are unrepeatable and the products of a specific period and time.

The seven wonders of the world refer to the seven magnificent man-made landscapes in the world known by ancient westerners. The first person to put forward the idea of the Seven Wonders of the World was Antipak, a traveler in the third century BC, and another idea was put forward by Philo, a Byzantine scientist in the second century BC. Because most of the above miracles have been destroyed, later generations put forward the seven wonders of the world in the Middle Ages.

The Colosseum in Italy, the underground tomb of Alexander on the edge of Libyan desert, Stonehenge in Britain, the Great Wall of Wan Li in China, the Hepburn Pagoda in Nanjing, China, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy and Sophia Cathedral in Turkey.

The Colosseum The Colosseum of Death in Rome.

The Colosseum is located on the lower side of Rome Square, covering an area of 6 acres, like a sunken hill made of limestone at the top. The outer wall is about 157 feet high and covered with formidable arches; The internal perimeter 1790 feet is a huge oval masonry building with numerous cracks. The criss-crossing tunnels are exposed like open wounds.

Alexander's underground tomb

The underground mausoleum of Alexandria is located in the Mariute Desert southwest of Alexandria, Egypt, and was listed in the World Heritage List in 1980.

In the 3rd century AD, the Egyptian martyr Milotic was buried here, and his graveyard became one of the earliest places for Egyptian Christians to worship.

With the support of Bishop Alexander and the Byzantine royal family, the wave of worshipping Milotic not only swept the Byzantine Empire, but also spread to Rome, Gaul and Germanic. In order to meet the needs of the increasing number of believers, during the reign of Akadi Wu (395-408 AD) and Gengodos II (408-450 AD), a huge new church named Abu Mina was built by decree.

After the Arabs seized Egypt, the worship of Abu Mina was interrupted. By the time of fatemi, the holy land had been neglected. What we see today is just some ruins. 1905 started excavation, and now the outline of the holy city has been known to the world.

The layout of the building is as follows: the cathedral is in the center, and the atrium covering the ruins of the mausoleum and the front altar is in the front; Corresponding to the cathedral is an octagonal holy baptist church; In the south, that is, behind the main building, there are temples, believers' rooms, bathrooms and workshops; In the north and east, there is a church. The church named "East" is located in the center of the monastery.

The holy city covers a vast area with luxurious building materials. The main building is made of pebbles, and the marble columns, capitals and lintels are beautifully carved. Marble may be taken from the famous Alexandria quarry. The inner wall of the altar room is decorated with marble carvings and gold-plated mosaic patterns.

Alexandria, the ancient capital of Egypt, was once a great cultural and artistic center, and Abu Mina was the only relic of this era, which skillfully integrated Byzantine art with the traditional culture of the Pharaoh era of Egypt. The site of Abu Mina also shows the vitality of Eastern Christianity in the first few centuries. Since then, the first monasteries have been born.
