Island attractions in Rhode Island

Rhode Island, the only island in the world with the seven wonders of the ancient world!

Rhode Island, the only Aegean island with world cultural heritage! There are twelve gates in the ancient city, which are the only places to pass in and out of the ancient city. There is a coat of arms on every city gate, which makes people feel the marks left by the Crusaders everywhere. The proportion of French in the Crusaders is large, and the architectural style of the ancient city is similar to that of the ancient French castle. In the 5th century BC, there was a castle on the site of the ancient city. The existing ancient city is a fortress city built by St. John Crusaders with the most advanced technology in the 15th and 16th centuries. Thick double walls and wide moats are unbreakable.

Crusade, to Jerusalem. At the end of 13th century, Jerusalem fell. At the beginning of the 14th century, the St. John's Cross Army occupied Rhode Island, and began the knights' era of more than 2 years. It was ruled by the top eight, the top three came from France, the top two came from Spain, and the others were Italy, Germany and Britain. Regular knights are nobles from all over the world. Every strong officer, Knight Leader elected from these officers. The most famous building in the ancient city is Knight Leader Palace. The original palace was destroyed by natural and man-made disasters. The existing palaces were rebuilt by the Italians for Mussolini and Emperor Victor in the early 2th century. Entering the ancient city is like going back to the Middle Ages. In the ancient city, the ground is a path paved with stones, and the air is a circular arch beam column. I don't know whether it originated from the romantic feelings of Rhode Island people or was built for the practical purpose of defending against frequent earthquakes.

Knight Avenue is a famous street in the ancient city. Walking on Knight Avenue, people feel that they can meet knights with swords and helmets at any time. At that time, knights lived in houses on both sides of the avenue according to different languages and races.

The architecture in the ancient city has a Turkish style, which originated from the 5-year rule of Osman. In the 15th century, the Constantine dynasty declined and the Ottoman Empire expanded, and Rhode Island became an obstacle. After several failed invasions, Suleiman I took extreme measures and sent 1, soldiers to Enemy at the Gates. Knights of St. John and Rhode Island residents rose up. Six months later, on New Year's Day in 1523, the Chief Knight and the remaining 18 knights were allowed by Suleiman I to leave Rhode Island by boat with their property. Since then, Rhode Island has been ruled by Turks for more than 5 years. St. John's Cross Knights Corps has experienced ups and downs and survived to this day.

during the Turkish rule, there was no religious persecution, but Greeks and Christians were not allowed to live in the ancient city. They work in the city during the day and have to leave the ancient city at night. As a special case, Jews live in the east of the ancient city.

the Italians drove the Turks away in 1912. Many Jews were sent to concentration camps in the later period of the rule. After World War II, it returned to Greece in 1948. During the Italian period, the ancient city was open to Greeks and Christians. There is a saying that the ancient city gate is a free gate. Construction time: completed in 282 BC

Construction location: Aegean Sea, Rhodes Port, Greece

This colossus was built at the entrance of Rhodes Port. It is a bronze statue of Helius, the Greek sun god, about 33 meters high. It was 56 years after the colossus was cast, and it was destroyed in an earthquake in 226 BC.

the colossus of Rhode island is located in the port of the island of Rhodes, Greece, which leads to the Mediterranean Sea. The colossus of Rhode Island Sun God was cast in 32 BC to commemorate a war in 35 BC. In 35 BC, Mitri Policott, son of Angel Ke, one of the heirs of King Alexander, attempted to seek hegemony and attacked Rhode Island. The people of Rhode fought bravely and defeated the invaders to win the war. In order to commemorate the victory of this defense war, the Rodians used 12.5 tons of bronze weapons seized, which lasted for 12 years after melting, and cast this colossus of Helius, the sun god, which was 32 meters high. This artistic model is a treasure of Rhodes's sculpture art. Regrettably, it was destroyed by an earthquake in 224 BC.

It took 12 years to build this colossus, which was completed in 282 BC. The colossus stood in the harbor for many years until a strong earthquake struck Rhodes Island in 226 BC. The city was badly damaged, and the colossus broke from its weakest place-the knee. Rhodes islanders received timely assistance from the Egyptian Ptolemy III, which was enough to cover all the expenses needed to repair the fallen monument. However, an Oracle prevented the reconstruction of the colossus. Ptolemy's assistance was also declined.

For nearly a thousand years, broken statues have been lying in ruins. In 654 AD, Arabs invaded Rhodes. They split up the remaining colossus of the sun god and sold them to a Jew from Syria. It is said that 9 camels had to be used to transport these fragments to Syria. Although we don't know the true shape and appearance of the colossus, the modern reconstructed sculpture stands upright, which reproduces the original appearance of the sculpture more accurately than those ancient paintings. Although the colossus is gone, this ancient wonder of the world has inspired modern artists, such as the French sculptor Augustus bartholdi, who is famous for building the famous Statue of Liberty. There is only a short period of 56 years from the establishment to the destruction of the colossus of the sun god. However, this colossus has won a place in the list of the seven famous wonders of the world. Old Pliny said, "But even when it collapsed to the ground, it was still a wonder." The colossus of the sun god in Rhodes Island is not only a huge statue, but also a symbol of the unity of the people living on the beautiful Mediterranean island-Rhodes Island.

"The Dorian people of Rhodes Island would like to dedicate this towering bronze statue to you, the sun god, to commemorate that they quelled the raging waves of war and glorified their city with the spoils they took from the enemy. They lit the torch of freedom not only at sea but also on land. " -the words on the colossus of the sun god.

For a long time, there have been different opinions about the appearance of the colossus. Most people believe that it stands at the entrance of Mandraki Port, Rhode Island, with its feet apart and torches in hand. Ships pass by it, which is very spectacular and interesting. However, research shows that this structure is unreasonable in terms of the width of the port and the height of the colossus. Because the colossus must be a quarter of a kilometer high to cross the port entrance, whether it is built with metal or stones, the colossus that straddles can never withstand great tension and strong winds in winter, and the remains of the colossus will also hinder the port after dumping, so it is estimated that the real colossus should stand in the east of the port or more inland. As for the posture, I don't know at all. What is standing? Sit down? Or driving a carriage? No one knows yet.

The Colossus of Rhodes is the most mysterious of the seven wonders, because it was only 56 years old and collapsed due to the earthquake. So far, archaeologists have not determined its position and appearance. Acropolis of Rhodes, located on Smith Hill in the southwest of the ancient city of Rhode Island, is a relatively modern market. There is a bronze statue of a pair of male and female deer by the port of Mandraki in the Acropolis, Rhode Island. This pair of statues is a symbol of Rhode City and a good place to enjoy the sunset.
