Is the Temple of Zeus a miracle of the world? Why did you build it in the first place

As we all know, the Olympia Games was first handed down from ancient Greece and has been held until today. At that time, the Greeks launched a sports meeting in memory of Zeus. Although people are very familiar with the Olympia Games, most people may not know much about the Temple of Zeus, which has a lot to do with it. In fact, this temple is also one of the wonders of the world. So, what is the mystery of this temple, and who created this world miracle? This temple is located in the village of Olympia, Greece. It was mainly built to worship Zeus. In the earliest days, Olympia was built of wood and bricks. But these buildings can't stand the wind and rain, so they are rebuilt with stones. Among these stone buildings, the most famous is the Temple of Zeus.

However, this temple is not to receive the sacrifices of worshippers, but when hosting the Olympic Games, people will slaughter 100 bulls in this temple to worship Zeus. With the increasing number of Olympic Games, it is already a huge pile of ashes. As time goes by, the purpose of people coming here is no longer to sacrifice that emotion. More and more people come here to visit the magnificent momentum and long history of this temple. Therefore, in modern times, this temple is no longer a separate sacred, but to some extent, it is like a museum.

There are many ancient or fascinating sacrifices here, but if you want to return to the atmosphere of BC15th century here, you need extraordinary imagination, otherwise, it is difficult to imagine the ancient atmosphere. As a result, people began to look for people who could represent the extraordinary power at that time, making it difficult for people to forget the representatives of that era. After a long choice, people chose Pheidias, an Athenian citizen, to accomplish this great mission. It is said that this man has outstanding carving ability. Soon after, Pheidias arrived in Olympia and began his great creation. First, Pheidias erected a wooden frame where the statue was built, and asked that the wooden frame should be exactly the same as the finished statue.

The head, hands and feet of the statue are carved with ivory flakes, while the clothes and other decorations of the statue are made of gold. Pheidias made every ornament carefully and connected them perfectly. Finally, people in Pheidias completed a three-dimensional statue. When this statue was shown to the world, people were deeply attracted by its exquisite carving. It is hard to imagine how Pheidias accomplished such a great pioneering work. The statue he carved is very similar to the image of Zeus, and this statue shows the image of Zeus to the fullest. All the different characteristics of Zeus can be vividly shown in this statue.
