Built in 282 BC but destroyed in 226 BC by an earthquake, the Colossus of Rhodes was a massive statue of the sun god Helios. The people of Rhodes labored over the statue for years, believing it was because of the sun god’s blessings that the island had once withstood a long siege and emerged victorious. During an earthquake just a few decades after it was finished, the statue snapped at the knees.
