It is unknown when the gardens were destroyed, the ruins of Babylon rose today, the city of Al-Hillah, about 160 miles from Baghdad, the capital of Iraq.Statue of Zeus at OlympiaThe Statue of Zeus at Olympia was built in the fifth century BC by Phidias, named after the king of Greek gods - Zeus.

Both the Greeks loved their work saying that he revealed to men the image of the gods. It is assumed that the statue's construction has taken about eight years. Zeus (Jupiter to the Romans) was the master of Olympus, the abode of deities. The statue measured 12 to 15 feet tall - the equivalent of a five-story building - and it was all of ivory and ebony. His eyes were gems. Phidias carved Zeus seated on a throne. In his right hand took the statuette of Nike, goddess of Victory, on the left, a sphere in which an eagle was leaning. It is assumed that, as in depictions of other artists, the Zeus of Phidias also show a frown. The legend says that when Zeus wrinkle her forehead all Olympus trembled. When the statue was built, the rivalry between Athens and Sparta for hegemony in the Mediterranean and the Greek mainland Greeks plunged into a succession of wars. The fighting, however, did not harm the cultural and artistic achievements of the time. In contrast, the fifth century BC was known as the Golden Age in Greek history because of the extraordinary flowering of architecture, sculpture and other arts. The statue of Zeus was destroyed in that same century BC.Temple of Artemis at EphesusThe Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, built for the Greek goddess of hunting and protecting wildlife, was the largest temple of the ancient world.

Upon completion turned tourist attraction with visitors from different places giving offerings, and was destroyed in 356 BC by Herostratus, who believed that destroying the temple of Artemis would have his name spread throughout the world.Knowing this, the townspeople did not reveal his name, only known thanks to the historian Strabo. Alexander offered to restore the temple, but he only began to be rebuilt in 323 BC, the year of death of the Macedonian. Still, in 262 AD, he was again destroyed, this time by an attack of the Goths. With the conversion of citizens of the region and the world to Christianity, the church was losing ground and came down in 401 AD, and today there is only
one pillar of the original building on its ruins.Mausoleum of HalicarnassusThe Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was a magnificent tomb that Queen Artemisia II of Caria had built on the remains of her brother and husband, King Mausolus in 353 BC. It was built by two Greek architects - Satyr and Pythius - and by four Greek sculptors - Briaxis, Scopas, Leochares and Timothy.Today, the fragments of this monument are found in the British Museum in London and Bodrum, Turkey. The word mausoleum is derived from Mausolus.Colossus of RhodesThe Colossus of Rhodes was a giant statue of the Greek god Helios Maritime placed at the entrance of the Greek island of Rhodes. It was completed in 280 BC by the sculptor Chares of Lindos, with 30 meters high and seventy tons of bronze, so any boat that would go into the island between their legs, which had one foot on each bank of the canal leading to the port . In his right hand was a beacon that guided the ships at night. It was an imposing statue so that a man of normal height could not hold his thumb. It was built to commemorate the withdrawal of Macedonian troops who tried to conquer the island, and the material used for their manufacture weapons were abandoned by the Macedonians in place. Although imposing, stood at just 55 years, being rocked by an earthquake that threw the bottom of the bay. Ptolemy III offered to rebuild it, but the islanders refused to find that they had offended Helios. And even under the sea was so impressive that many traveled to see her down there, where it was forgotten until the arrival of the Arabs, who sold it as scrap.Lighthouse of AlexandriaThe Lighthouse of Alexandria was built on the orders of Ptolemy I in the year 280 BC by the Greek architect and engineer Sostrates of Knidos. It was a marble tower on the island of Pharos (so "lighthouse"), near the port of Alexandria, Egypt, on top of a flame that was burning through mirrors, lighted up to 50 miles away, hence the great fame and magnificence of that lighthouse. With the exception of the Giza pyramids, was that it lasted longer among the other wonders of the world being destroyed by an earthquake in 1375. Its ruins were found by divers in 1994, which was later confirmed by satellite images. .Seven Wonders of the WorldWhen talking about the seven wonders of the modern world, it is common to relate to the famous list of seven wonders of the ancient world, which brings together the most remarkable buildings of antiquity.

Leonardo di Ser Piero da Vinci. Or simply Leonardo da Vinci, Anchiano, April 15, 1452 - Amboise, May 2, 1519, was an Italian polymath, one of the most important High Renaissance, which stood out as a scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, poet and musician. It is also known as the forerunner of aviation and ballistics. Leonardo has often been described as the archetypal Renaissance man, a man whose insatiable curiosity was matched only by their ingenuity. Is considered one of the greatest painters of all time and as possibly the person endowed with diverse talents to have lived. According to art historian Helen Gardner, the depth and breadth of his interests were unprecedented and mind and personality seem superhuman to us, and the man himself [we think] mysterious and distant. Born as the illegitimate son of a notary, Piero da Vinci and a peasant woman, Caterina, at Vinci in the region of Florence, was educated in the studio of the renowned Florentine painter, Verrocchio. He spent most of his early professional life in the service of Ludovico Sforza (Ludovico il Moro), in Milan, then worked in Rome, Bologna and Venice, and spent his last days in France, a house that was presented by King Francis I.Leonardo was, as today, known chiefly as a painter. Two of his works, the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, are among the most famous paintings, most reproduced and most parodied of all time , and their fame approached only for the Creation of Adam by Michelangelo. The drawing of the Vitruvian Man by Leonardo, is also regarded as a cultural icon, and was reproduced by all parties, since the euro t up.About fifteen of his paintings have survived to this day, the small number due to their experiences constant - and often disastrous - with new techniques, and his chronic procrastination. Still, these few works, together with his notebooks - which contain drawings, scientific diagrams, and his thoughts on the nature of painting - make a contribution to future generations of artists that can only be rivaled by that of his contemporary, Michelangelo. Leonardo is revered for its technological ingenuity, conceived ideas far ahead of his time, like a helicopter, a tank, the use of solar power, a calculator, the double hull vessels, and a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics. A relatively small number of their designs came to be built during his life (many were not even feasible), but some of his smaller inventions, such as an automatic coil, and a device that tests the endurance to pull a wire, entered without any credit to the industrial world. As a scientist, was responsible for major advancement of knowledge in the fields of anatomy, civil engineering, optics and hydrodynamics.Leonardo da Vinci is considered by many the greatest genius in history due to his multitude of talents in arts and sciences, their ingenuity and creativity, and his polemical works. In a study in 1926 his IQ was estimated at about 180.Principal obraMona Lisa (1503-1507Louvre) e o retrato que mais tem rendido, em termos
de literatura -tem dado origem a contos, romances, poemas e ate mesmo operas- e parodia -desde seu tempo, como a Monna Vanna de Salai- em toda a historia da arte. Foi uma obra famosa desde o momento da sua criacao; e inspirou muitos, como o jovemRafael, que se embebedou nela. Seu sorriso sutil e visto em sua crueldade e tem sido considerado o implacavel sorriso de mulher que escraviza os homens. Outros foram deslumbrados pelo seu encanto, pela sua docura. Para o critico Walter Pater, simboliza o "espirito moderno com todos os seus tracos patogenicos", considerando como a "beleza extraida desde o interior, trabalhando a carne, celula por celula". Provocado pelo mestre no modelo com o toque do alaude, como citado por Vasari: "Mona Lisa era muito bela e Leonardo, ao mesmo tempo que a pintava, procurava que tivesse alguem cantando, tocando algum instrumento ou brincando. Desta forma, o modelo foi mantido em um bom humor e nao adotava um aspecto triste, cansado [...]".

Dorme cedo.Acorda cedo.Nao chore.Nao se iluda.Sua dor nao vai ser escutada.Nao tome remedios.Nao se deprima.Voce e tudoem sua vida.Ja e hora de ser alguem.Ja e hora de ser alguem.Ja e hora de ser alguem.Ja e tarde nesse ceu,nessa noite.Ja e noite nesse ceu,nessa dor.Suavemente,em equilibrio divinonasce um novo anjo,em berco excentricocom suas asas a floriruma nova manha.Aqui e a terra de ninguem,de todos e mais alguem.Ja temos o oceano,a vida, a agonia,o infinito espaco...e assim nasce um novo dia.Fecha os olhos com a imensidaopara nunca mais os abrir. Escuta, eu nao quero contar-te o meu desejoQuero apenas contar-te a minha ternuraAh se em troca de tanta felicidade que me dasEu te pudesse repor Eu soubesse repor No coracao despedacadoAs mais puras alegrias de tua infancia! E minhas proprias coisas eram tao mas e tristes, como o dia em que nasci. A unica diferenca era que agora eu podia beber de vez em quando, apesar de nunca ser o suficiente. A bebida era a unica coisa que nao deixava o homem ficar se sentindo atordoado e inutil o tempo todo. Tudo mais te pinicando, te ferindo, despedacando. E nada era interessante, nada. As pessoas eram limitadas e cuidadosas, todas iguais. E eu teria que viver com esses putos pelo resto de minha vida, pensava. Deus, eles todos tinham cus, e orgaos sexuais e suas bocas e seus sovacos. Eles cagavam e tagarelavam e eram tao inertes quanto bosta de cavalo. As garotas pareciam boas a distancia, o sol provocando transparencias em seus vestidos, refletido em seus cabelos. Mas chegue perto e escute o que elas tem na cabeca sendo vomitado pelas suas bocas. Voce ficava com vontade de cavar um buraco sobre um morro e ficar escondido com uma metralhadora. Certamente eu nunca seria capaz de ser feliz, de me casar, nunca poderia ter filhos. Mas que diabo, eu nem conseguia um emprego de lavador de pratos.Talvez eu pudesse ser um ladrao de bancos. Alguma porra. Alguma coisa flamejante, com fogo. Voce so tinha direito a uma tentativa. Por que ser um limpador de vidracas?Charles Bukowski Posso dizer que a chuva entrou doida em meus ouvidos, cansado como estava, a dor era inevitavel. Encharquei totalmente. Aquele dia um milhao de flechas flamejantes atravessaram meu coracao. Hoje, frio que me doi o corpo, estou nu na chuva. Pedaco podre de corpo sangrando pelos ouvidos. Ensurdeco. H. J. disse uma vez para eu nao esperar em mesmo lugar, mas o que eu poderia fazer? Me disse tambem o que poderia acontecer a mim, eu fui avisado. F. P. ja nao me foi muito clara, so me disse boa noite. Entao eu nao sabia muito bem o que sentir, nem o que pensar. Eu nao sabia nada, ainda nao sei, nao entendo nada de nenhuma teoria. Parece que a chuva parou. Ou esta em outro lugar. Quando eu via aquela seringa furar sua pele eu me assustava, por que joga em minha cara onde eu sou fraco? Por que nao aceita minha fraqueza? Vi muitos monstros durante o meu sono, acordava assustado durante algum sonho, ofegante
suava e tentava fazer algo. Nunca vou me esquecer. Tudo parece como essa chuva que vem do nada e some, some, some. Mas deixa meu ouvido sangrar e dois dedos de uma bebida qualquer.
