Simply the best : Explore the birth of the image of "The New Man" in human history. Delving into the legends of the Colossus of Rhodes and the Statue of Zues at Olympia. A mammoth figure of ivory and gold, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia ruled over the Olympic games. The Colossus of Rhodes was built of sheets of bronze and stood guard over the islands of Rhodes. Perhaps the most astounding aspect of both monuments was that the sculptors modeled their faces in the image of man. Today, this image is mirrored in our own Statue of Liberty. The magic Metropolis : Venture to the sites of two ancient cities created by Alexander the Great - cities that were considered among the most beautiful and unusual the world has ever seen. This episode examines two unparalleled testaments to the power of the era: The Pharos (Lighthouse) at Alexandria, which stood to more than 300 feet, making it the tallest structure of its time, and the Mausoluem of Halicarnassus, which was considered one of the greatest tombs ever created. These statues are thought to have an inspiration for the citizens - telling they could be as great as the gods. Wonders of the East : Investigate the influence of ancient eastern civilizations. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, in what is now Iraq, were rumored to be part of the palace of Nebuchadnezzar. Today, scientists believe that these exotic gardens were actually more fable than fact. The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, in modern-day Turkey, was built to honor the mother goddess. She was a powerful force for many different people - The Romans knew her as Diana, the Anatolians as Kybele - and her temple was one of the holiest shrines in Alexander the Great's world. Ghost of Wonder : Contemplate the mystical aspects of the Seven Wonders, exploring the enduring fascinated of the only surviving Wonder, the Pyramids. Ghost of Wonder demonstrates how the story of the Wonders is also the story of the modern imagination. Traveling from Australia to New York, Romer describes how people are still haunted by the ghost of the ancient past. Hosted by author archaelogist John Romer. DVD ; Dolby Digital. Egypt Antiquities.
