7 Wonders of the Ancient World: The Tomb of Mausolus
Built around 352 BC and destroyed by an earthquake in 1404 AD, this stunning work of architecture was built as a tomb for Mausolus, a governor of the Persian Empire. Designed by Greek architects, the tomb was almost 14 stories tall, with a base more than 10,000 square feet. The tomb may have been destroyed, but it was so famous the name “Mausolus” became the root word for a number of modern-language words, including “mausoleum,” which is a building dedicated to storing the remains of deceased people.
