Pyramid is a kind of building, which is usually used for tombs or sacrifices. Because it looks like China's Chinese character "Jin", it is called the pyramid. In fact, it has nothing to do with "gold"
The pyramid symbolizes the sunlight that penetrates the sky. Because, when you stand on the road to Kize and look west from the perspective of the pyramid ridge, you can see that the pyramid shines on the earth like the sun.
There is a sentence in the inscription of the pyramid: "The sky extends its own light to you, so that you can go to heaven, just like pulling your eyes." Later, the worship of the obelisk by ancient Egyptians also had such significance, because the obelisk also represented the light of the sun. [Edit this paragraph] 2. Hanging Gardens Hanging Gardens were built from 604 to 562 BC.

It was built by King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon for his favorite queen. The queen is Persian, and Nebuchadnezzar II built this fantastic tall building for her, so that she can often visit her hometown. The hanging garden is full of exotic flowers and grasses and has a complete water supply system. The ancient Greeks who had been to Babylon at that time called it a miracle of the world.

Historically, Rhode Island was ruled by many spheres of influence, including Mo Solas (whose tomb is also one of the Seven Wonders) and Alexander the Great. But after the death of Alexander the Great, the whole island was plunged into a long war. Macedonian invader Dmitry led 40,000 troops (more than the population of the whole island) to surround the port. After a hard war, Rhode Island defeated the invaders. To celebrate this victory, they decided to build a statue with bronze weapons abandoned by the enemy. This statue has been built for twelve years, and its height is 1 10 feet, that is, it is similar to the height of the well-known Statue of Liberty in New York. The statue is hollow and reinforced with complex stones and iron columns. But this great statue was destroyed by a strong earthquake only 56 years after it was built. Rodport giant statue
