Expands on the traditional 'Seven Wonders' to examine an impressive number of ancient marvels from around the globe.
How were the ancient wonders of the world built? How many people did it take to build the Great Wall of China or the Sphinx at Giza? The Seventy Wonders of the Ancient World answers these and many more questions, examining antiquity's most spectacular feats of engineering and celebrating the achievements of the builders who worked without the aid of modern technology.
The shaping of the Great Sphinx at Giza, the raising of the stones at Stonehenge, the laying out of the Nazca Lines on the face of the Peruvian desert, and the construction of the Great Wall of China are all described and explained by an international team of experts in the light of the most recent archaeological research.
Packed with fact files, diagrams and specially commissioned perspective views, this is a testament to the skill of the ancient architects and engineers who continue to impress successive generations down the ages.
