Colossus of Rhodes.

The statue of the Ancient Greek god of the sun Helias, was on the Greek island of Rhodes. This island was situated in the Aegean Sea.

Sculptor Chares of Lindos started building this work in 292 B.C. for a period of twelve years. Statue was made from iron, clay, and bronze. Its height was about 36 metres (100 feet). Colossus of Rhodes appeared in 20 B.C.

But fifty four years later, in 226 B.C., earthquake occured on the island. So, sixth Wonder of the Ancient World was damaged.
