How exactly was the Great Pyramid at Giza made? Were the mystical Hanging Gardens of Babylon even real? What became of the Lighthouse of Alexandria?

Go on a journey across the world and through time, and explore the Great Pyramid at Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Terracotta Army, Statue of Zeus, Temple of Artemis, Colossus at Rhodes, the Mausoleum at Harlicarnussus and more impressive monuments (including Stonehenge!) through the stunning artwork of Avalon Nuovo.

"Here, in dramatic, intensely hued illustrations by Avalon Nuovo, we see depictions of the famed Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—e.g., the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Colossus of Rhodes— interspersed with other spectacular evidence of far-off manufacture."
