Zeus is the supreme (至高的) god of ancient Greece mythology (神话). The Statue of Zeus, sculpted (雕刻) by a great Greek artist in about 435 BC, was once located on the
western coast of Greece. It was
a seated (固定的) figure of Zeus,
holding his eagle-topped staff
in his left hand and the figure
of Nike (victory) in his right
hand.
The Mughal Emperor Shah
(伊朗王) Jahan built the Taj
Mahal on the banks of the
river Yamuna as a tomb for
his wife. It was built in 22
years (1631 to 1653) by 20,000 workmen. The building is made of white marble (大理石). A beautiful garden surrounds the Taj Mahal. In front of the main entrance to the building there is Taj Mahal in the reflection from the water.
King Nebuchadnezzar Ⅱ of Babylon(605-562 BC) built the Hanging Gardens to cheer up his wife who missed the flowers and trees of her homeland. The garden got its name because it was built entirely on the roof of the building, which
was surrounded
by trees. This gave
the impression
that it was
hanging in the
sky.
Potala Palace is located on “Red
Hill” in Lhasa. It
was originally built
in the 640’s, during
the reign (统治) of King Songtsan Gampo. The 13-storey palace stands 117 meters high and covers an area of 130,000 square meters. It is divided into two sections, the Red Palace and the White Palace. It was used as the residence of the Dalai Lamas since the 7th century, as well as the religious and political centre of old Tibet.
