Teacher's introductory word.

Pyramids of Egypt.

Pyramids - Majestic Tombs of Pharaohs - as if they grow from the sands of the desert. The oldest of them, the Pyramid of Pharaoh Josrara - the world's first stone structure of such huge sizes (its height of 60 meters). But the pyramid of Heops, who had previously stood up for almost five thousand years, rose height at 147 meters. Blocks of this great Pyramid So carefully were polished and driven one to another that the blade of the knife was impossible to the gap between them.

Temple of Artemis Efesse.

According to legend, the construction of the temple of Artemis in Ephesus lasted 120 years, all the states of Malaya Asia took part in it. Easy, elegant marble building caused admiration and surprise of all who had a chance to see her.

Galicarnas mausoleum.

Zodhchi was planned by the tomb of the Tsar Mauchast as a rectangular building of about 66 wide, about 77 and 46 meters high. Mausoleum (so later began to call such structures by the name of Tsar Mawsol) was decided to put in the center of Galicarnas, on one of the widest streets of the city that risen over the market square.

Alexandrian lighthouse.

Not far from the city, on the island of Faros, the world's largest lighthouse was built - a three-story tower with a height of about 180 meters. The third floor was a round-shaped lantern, his bronze statue of god of the Seas of Poseidon is 7 meters high. In the lantern burned fire lighthouse, the light of which intensified by the system of metal mirrors.

The creator of this miracle was Sostrat Book. The lighthouse stood until the XIV century. By that time heavily destroyed, he still caused admiration. The remnants of the high pedestal are preserved to the present day, but they are not available to archaeologists and architects, since they are built into a powerful medieval fortress.

Hanging gardens Semiramids.

In the brilliant time of its existence, the city of Babylon represented a quadrilateral surrounded by high walls with 100 gates, through which the R. Eugerat is projected. Babylon, his beauty and wealth, plunged into the amazement of everyone who had a chance to visit there.

But the wonderful hanging gardens amazed, broken down at the palace on the command of the king Nebuchadnezzar for his beloved wife, Misei Tsarevna Amitis, who gave her homeland's shady forests. Gardens were located on platforms raised on powerful columns. Garden tiers were made by ledge, they were connected by wide stairs from plates of white and pink. Folded towards the cool wind, which usually, usually, from the north-west, the gardens - their fragrance, shadow and coolness - in the chandom Babylon seemed to people miracle. Already after the death of Babylon and hanging gardens, the legend continued to live about them.

The Colossus of Rhodes.

Having won in 305 BC. The victory over the precipitated Rhodes of the famous commander Demetrius, the inhabitants of Rhodes decided to marry this event by the construction of the giant bronze statue of the God of Helios, the patron saint of the island. The choice of Rhodians fell on the Hares sculptor. The work lasted 12 years. Hares erected the statue of an unprecedented height - in 70 elbows (about 35 meters).

In 220 BC Rhodes underwent a destructive earthquake, many people died under the wreckage of buildings. Roman writer Pliny Senior, who lived in the first century AD, visiting the island, wrote that even now, when Colossus lies on Earth, he is surprising and admiration. Not every person can bite both hands the thumb of the statue.

Abstract Club in GPD, 3-4 Class

Probably you have ever since hearing about seven wonders of light. Can you list them? If so, then wonderful. But, if you still do not know anything about the miracles of light, do not be discouraged, because today we will talk about them, and you have to learn a lot of new and interesting things. And for beginnings, we think about why seven wonders, and not five and not ten ... The number "seven" is considered sacred in many nations. The ancient Greeks numbered the seven of the most beautiful and most ambitious monuments of the hands of the hands of a man who hit contemporaries in red sizes and equipment.

Listen carefully, remember, at the end of the classes will spend the quiz "Seven Wonders of Light".

1. Pyramids

(Demonstration of illustration with the image of the Egyptian pyramid.)

The biggest miracle was always considered pyramids of Egypt, the only of seven wonders that have come down to us. "Everything is afraid of time, but time is afraid of the pyramids," said Arabs who won Egypt. What do you know about Egyptian pyramids? (Children's responses.)

The pyramids were colossal height, tens of years were built; Thousands of people worked on the construction of these grand structures. The pyramid was a symbol of the power of Pharaoh and his power, she turned out to be honorable as a deity. Pyramids served as tombs (burial site) Pharaoh - rulers Ancient Egypt. Each of the huge pyramids is the name of Pharaoh buried in it (for example, Hoeop Pyramid). Pyramids were built on the West Bank of the Nile River, on the very border of fertile river valley and desert. Why exactly here? Because the West Egyptians considered the country of death: they thought that in the West every night the sun was dying, going beyond the horizon. Scientists still argue about how these huge structures were erected. The very first pyramid - Goser - has a length of 129 m, the width is 107 m, and the height is 60 m. It was built almost 5 thousand years ago, when people still did not know the wheels and transported huge stone blocks on the sled. The Heopps pyramid consists of 2 million 300 thousand stone slabs weighing from 2 to 30 tons. Pyramids were built for a long time, their construction began almost immediately after the climb of Pharaoh for the throne.

2. Hanging gardens of seminimis

Another miracle was the hanging gardens of Semiramid at the Palace of the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzor II. Interesting the history of creating these gardens. When Nebuchadnezzar II took his wife's beautiful semi-graduate, the daughter of the king mountainous country Mussels, Semiramide began to wander in his homeland. After all, noisy and dusty Babylon was quite unlike her beautiful homeland. Nebuchadnezzar loved his wife and decided to do everything to dispel her sadness. According to his order, thousands of prisoners captured at the recent war were cozy. They began to build a four-story building from the palace. On each floor they poured a layer of fertile land and plant flowers and trees. Floors were combined with the stairs. For gardens, a special water supply device was made. The whole structure was supported by powerful columns, and made it seemed that beautiful gardens were hanging right in the air. Therefore, they were called "hanging gardens." But, unfortunately, this miracle of light existed only about two centuries. At first, they stopped caring for the gardens, then the powerful floods destroyed the foundation of the columns, and the entire structure collapsed. So died one of the miracles of the world. The only track is the network of trenches near the capital of Iraq, in the cuts of which and are now visible traces of a dilapidated masonry.

3. Temple of Artemis Ephesus

The most famous of the ancient Greek miracles is the giant temple of the goddess Hunt Artemis. It was built in the VI century. BC e. In the shopping city of Ephesus on west coast Malaya Asia. Unusual place It was chosen for the construction - swamp. The fact is that in those days there were a fairly frequent phenomenon, the architect Hersifron decided that soft swampy soil would save the temple from destruction. And so that the swamp did not whip a huge building, which was filled with a mixture of wool and charcoal. The temple hit the magnificence and enormous sizes. He was a rectangular building from stone and a tree, the roof of which was supported by two rows of columns, and there were 127 of them. The fate of the temple of Artemis turned out to be sad. He died on fire. His tagged Herostrat, who wanted to become famous at any cost. A new one was built on the site of the burnt temple. But he was subsequently destroyed, and his residues swallowed a swamp.

4. Mausoleum in Galicarnassa

About 1,800 years ago, in the same place, in Malaya Asia, another great Monument - Tomb of Tsar Malsol (hence the word "mausoleum") in Galicarnassa. In those distant times, many nations had a custom to burn their dead. The body of the king of Malsol was burned, and the ashes placed in a special vessel - a funeral urn. It is not known whether His wife Artemisia wanted to perpetuate the memory of her husband and ordered to build a magnificent tomb, or mausoleum, began to build a king, who himself took care of how and where he was buried.

Anyway, the mausoleum was built of brick and lined with inside and outside with white marble. Its height reached 60 m (the height of the modern 20-storey house). The building had an unusual form: the first floor is a cube with a height of 20 m, where the urn was resting with the ashes of Malsol. On the second floor in the repository, an overlooking the magnificent colonnade, was sacrifices. And the construction of a multistage pyramid was marched with the statue of Malsol and Artemisia. The king and his wife were depicted by controlling quadriga - the fourth horses harvested in the chariot.

In 1522, Mausoleum was disassembled by the crusaders who strengthened his plates to his fortress. It was in the walls of the fortress and the surrounding houses that were found in 1857. Reliefs from the tomb, the statues of Malsol and his wife of Artemisia.

5. Colossus Rhodes

The shore of Malaya Asia in the Aegean Sea is the island of Rhodes. In 304 BC e. The inhabitants of the island decided to erect the statue of the God of Sun Helios, their patron, in honor of the victory over the enemy.

12 years worked the sculptor Hares with his assistants, and finally the inhabitants of the island opened an amazing picture. On the square at the entrance to the harbor, a giant, about 35 m high, the figure of the God of the Sun is elevated. She was so huge that not every person would be able to clashed her finger on the hand of the giant. The statue of God risen over Rhodes and was visible to swimming already from the neighboring islands. Glory about Colossus Rhodes, and the word "Colossus" means "a big statue", quickly spread throughout the Mediterranean. To admire it came travelers from different countries. However, 50 years after the creation of the statue, an earthquake happened. The legs of the statue were lifted, and she collapsed to the ground, crashing into many pieces.

Parts of the bronze figure of the God of the Sun over the centuries lay in the ground. Later, one of the rulers of those places sold the preserved part of the statue, which were taken from the country on nine hundred camels. Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, was repulsed, and, as many historians believed, nothing remained from this miracle. However, quite recently, the archaeologists of the submariners found at the bottom of the harbor to brush the right hand of Helios.

6. Faros Lighthouse

Everyone is familiar with the word "headlight" - a powerful car lamp, equipped with a reflector of light. But not everyone knows that this word comes from the name of the Faros island in the Mediterranean. Lighthouse was built on this island, the light of which was visible at a distance of 60 km. The height of Farosky, or Alexandria, Lighthouse, as he was near Alexandria Egypt, was 135 m. The bonfire was constantly burned at the top of the lighthouse. The fuel for the fire was delivered to the top of a canopy spiral staircase on donkeys. Probably, on the lighthouse used devices to enhance lights (metal mirrors or lenses from a transparent grinding stone). The lighthouse was also a fortress in case of siege. In his walls, a large garrison could fit, and inside the tower there was a reservoir with drinking water. There was no such buildings in any harbor of such buildings, so the lighthouse on the island of Faros called one of the miracles of the world.

The lighthouse was destroyed almost to the foundation by a strong earthquake in May 1100. His debris fell into the sea. Currently, only the groundhouse is preserved, built into the medieval fortress.

7. Temple Zeus

The favorite spectacle of the ancient Greeks was the Olympic Games, which were held in Olympia in the south of Greece and were dedicated to the Supreme Greek God Zeus. The main shrine of Olympia was the temple of Zeus, built in 456 BC. e. A statue of Zeus sitting on the throne was placed in the temple. Created this statue, a glorified sculptor of fidi. The statue height reached 17 m. The figure of Zeus was made of wood, and details from other materials were mounted on this basis with the help of bronze and iron nails and special hooks. Face, hands and other parts of the body were from ivory. The ivory is not chosen by chance, because it is quite close in its color to human skin. Hair, beard, raincoat and sandals were made of gold, and eyes from precious stones. Zeus, as alive, recresented on the throne. This work of the fidia was considered the incarnation of beauty. Subsequently, the statue of Zeus from Olympia was transported to Constantinople (now turkish city Istanbul), but there happened there. From the magnificent Zeus of the Olympic remained only a few burnt bone plates and pieces of molten gold.

Our contemporaries know how this work art looked like on small figures and images on the coins found by archaeologists.

How many wonders in the world?
- Where and who first described the seven wonders of the world?

7 Antique Wonders of Light

Miracles of light in antiquity called outstanding works of art and engineering thought, striking people with their greatness and beauty. 2000 years ago, people made a list of wonders of light-unusual attractions, unique (sole-in-kind) structures that were necessary to see. In the ancient world, they typed only 7. These were huge statues and the grand facilities trucks, the temples of the palaces.

Seven wonders of the world described in his book "History" Greek Herodotus. To the miracles of the world, he counted the following:

Great pyramid in Giza (Heops Pyramid, Egypt, III century BC);

15 km west of the capital of Egypt Cairo, on the left bank of the Nile, the desert Plateau Giza is located. Approximately 4.5 thousand years ago, the outstanding structures of the ancient kingdom of the Ancient Kingdom were erected here - the Pyramids of Heops Pharaohs. Until the end of the XIX century, there was no higher construction created by the hands of people. The height of the pyramid is 146 meters.

Colossus Rhodes (Rhodes Island, III century BC).

Bronze Colossus, erected in 285 BC, in the Greek Island of Rhodes in the Mediterranean, in the descriptions of people who seen him, looked like a man of giant sizes. Its height accounted for 70 elbows, or about 40 meters, I framed the crown from the "sunlight", in the right hand he kept the burning torch. The inhabitants themselves called him the God of the Sun Helios.

Alexandria Lighthouse (Alexandria, Egypt, III century BC);

The need for the appearance in the third century before our era of the lighthouse near the large port city of Alexandria, founded by Alexander Macedonian and named in his honor, dictated purely practical considerations - dark nights trading ships sent to the harbor, often sat down.

Hanging Gardens of Babylon (Hanging Gardens of Semiramids, Babylon, VI Century BC);

King Nebuchadnezzar II, ruled in Babylon from 605 to 562 BC, became famous not only by the seizure of Jerusalem, the creation of an unprecedented height of the Babylonian Tower, but also the most expensive gift, which ever kings of antiquity made their loved wives - by his order in The center of Babylon was built a palace with hanging gardens, called late gardens of seminimides.

Temple of Artemis in Ephesus (Greece, IV century BC);

In the ancient times, Ephesus was one of the largest ports on the west coast of Malaya Asia. By Aegean Sea. To him out different cities Mediterranean sailed shopping ships. But Ephesus became famous for not so much of his trading, how many amazing temple, erected in honor of the Artemidi - Goddess of fertility, patroness of family hearth, livestock and wild beasts.

Mausoleum in Galicarneas (Kariya, IV century BC);

Small Turkish port Bodrum founded greek colonists. In ancient times, he was the capital of Karia and was called Galicarnas. It was born the future Greek historian Herodotus, who did not write anything about his hometown. But Galicarnas nevertheless remained in history to a greater extent thanks to another person, the brutal ruler Mawsol, who still ordered to build an unusual beauty to the tomb.

Statue of Zeus in Olympia (Greece, V century BC)

The Greeks bowed to Zeus. They put him monuments, erected temples and believed that he was the only one who brings the law and order to the world, he was read as the patron saint of sciences, arts, sports and morality. Zeus is one of the most powerful and fair gods, overthrown titans and reigned at Olympus

Seven wonders of the world were famous in the ancient world:

1. Long already collapsed the hanging gardens of semiramides in Babylon.

2. Burned by Herostrate The temple of the goddess Artemis in Ephesus.

3. The same fate suffered the statue of Zeus Olympic.

4. Barbarian destroyed Knights - Crusaders Tomb of King Kari Mausol (they needed building material for the construction of the fortress - the castle of St. Peter).

5. Died during an earthquake and Colossus Rhodes, 36-meter sculpture of the God of the Sun Helios.

6. Another earthquake buried the remains of a 120-meter lighthouse built on the island of Faros in 280 BC.

7. Only the most ancient of seven wonders of the world - Egyptian pyramids - is still unshakable back against the background of yellow-brown sands of the Libyan desert

And what do you think, have new miracles have appeared since that time?

2. Session "PhotoTudy". From the proposed photos, select those that you would attribute to new "miracles of light"

Nature and people created new unique monuments - new miracles. New seven wonders of the world - a project, the purpose of which was the search for modern. Organized by the Non-Profit Organization of New Open World Corporation (Nowc) on the initiative of Swiss Bernard Verber. Elections of new seven "wonders of the world" from famous world happened through, or. The result was announced. (07.07.07.)

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA

In the Guinness Great Records Chinese Wall The first place as the largest construction structure created ever is occupied with watchdog towers.

Many of the construction workers were lit into the wall at the construction site. Medium height Walls 79 meters, and width about 5, at the top of the wall could pass and even drive a squad of soldiers. The wall in antiquity was the best dear through the whole country.

The construction began in 75 and was carried out in an incredible pace. Vespasian wanted to erase any memory of Nerno as soon as possible and glorify the Flaviev dynasty, who desired to give his people "bread and spectacle".

Machu Piccchu

In 1911, scientists discovered the ruins of the fortress town of Machu Picchu fortresses in the Andes. It was built at the foot of the Mountain of the same name (its name is translated as "old vertex"), at an altitude of 2.5 thousand meters above sea level. The buildings in the ancient city were located on the terraces carved in the rocks, which were connected to each other stairs. Before this day, the remains of the palace, residential buildings, temples and even observatory are preserved in the city, from which the priests watched the stars. Machu Picchu is a city of riddles who have not yet found answers. But today, Machu Picchu's ruins are striking their greatness.

Astonishing ancient city Peter carved right in the rocks is located on the territory of modern asian state Jordan, located on the Arabian Peninsula. In the III century BC- II century. AD Peter was the capital of the state of Nabateev - groups of Arab tribes. Nabotes were wonderful artists, in whose work the traditions of Egyptian, Greek, Arab art were intertwined. In Peter, chokes, altari, tombs and residential buildings were preserved in the rocks. The most beautiful temple consider El Haznech - he has a bunk-tier facade with a height of about 20 m. There is in the city and a semicircular theater, which accommodate 3 thousand people. A set of rock tomb has been preserved - Nabatoi did not harbor the dead in the ground, but they lowered their bodies into stone graves. Rocks in which Peter is cut down, consist of red sandstone. This amazing stone at different times of the day seems to be pink, then yellowish, then red, then orange.

Taj- Mahal

This one in the world in the world's majestic tomb is the most extraordinary monument in the history of architecture - a monument of love. It was built in honor of the Mumtaz-Makhl-beloved wife "Lord of the World" of Shahdzhana, the fourth and most famous ruler from the dynasty of the Great Mongols. The name Taj Mahal in translation means "the crown of Mughal". The tomb was erected in 1648 on the banks of the Jamna River near the city of Agra, 200 km from Delhi. It is composed of white marble. All the walls were incrouted by precious and semi-precious stones, which is why the solar rays marble shone from the inside, and with the moon reflected her light. Mausoleum surrounds the park from all sides, in front of him there is an extensive marble pool, in the water of which he is mirror reflected together with four minarets. The construction of the entire complex continued over twenty years, about 20 thousand masters and workers took part in it.

STATUE OF CHRIST THE REDEEMER

Until the 30s of the 20th century, Mount Corcovad, ascended over the then Capital of Brazil Rio de Janeiro at 710 m, attracted the attention of architects, sculptors who dreamed of establishing a national symbol on it. To the top of the mountain lifted trams - funicular, with observation deck A magical view of the city was opened, at the Gayanabar Bay. What could be assigned to people, what monument to put on Corcovad?

Among the many various offers were chosen the project a little-known engineer of Etora and Silva Kosta. He offered to build a statue of Christ with open hands, embracing the entire Rio de Janeiro. Brazil - a Catholic country and very religious. I liked the idea to all: the fathers of the city, the public and the church. Jesus Christ, hugging the city, - there is no such symbol in any country of the world.

Chichen - Itsa

On the Peninsula, Yucatan, between the Mexican Bay and the Caribbean, with a tropical hot climate, 40 km from Valladolid are the ruins of the ancient Mexican city of Chichen-Itsa, striking by their amazing pyramids of temples.

The merger of the Rivers Geyser and noisy on the territory of about 2 km² is about 20 large geysers and many sources, periodically throwing fountains of almost boiling water or steam. Valley of Geysers - a volcanic canyon width of about two kilometers and a little more than four slightly more. Currently, part of the valley is covered with landslide. The Gayzer Valley is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Camchatka Volcanoes"

Mamaev Kurgan, Motherland - Mother

Mamaev Kurgan is located in the center of Volgograd, where during the Stalingrad battle occurred fierce battles lasting 200 days. Monitoring "For height 102", as Mamaev Mamaev Kurgan Military Martians, repeatedly passed from the Soviet troops to German and vice versa, since he held a dominant position over the central part of Stalingrad and Volga.

Peterhof

Poltava victory over the Swedes in 1709 inspired Peter I on creative activities. King wanted to have on the shore Finnish Gulf Summer residence, garden-park ensemble, such as French Versailles. The complex of country palaces with fountains, the ponds had to "confirm the first monarchs." Peter himself traveled to the sublime place, examined the ledges descended to the sea, sketched the first drawings.

Cathedral of the Intercession, which is on the Riva, also called the Cathedral of Basil Blessed - Orthodox, located on B. Wide famous monument. Before it was commonly called Troitsky, since the original wooden temple was dedicated.

Currently, the Pokrovsky Cathedral is a branch. Enters.

The Pokrovsky Cathedral is one of the most famous sights of Russia. For many inhabitants of the planet, the Earth is a symbol of Moscow. It was built in the orders in memory of the capture and victory over.

Wildling pillars

Weathered Poles (Mansiysk Bolvans) - a unique geological monument on Mount Many Pup-Ner in the Komi Republic (in the Lanti language means " Small mountain idols "). Represents remains. Their 7 pieces, from 30 to 42 meters high. Numerous legends are associated with them, before the weathered poles were the objects of Cults Mansi.

About 200 million years ago there were high mountains on the site of stone pillars. Millennia passed. Rain, snow, wind, frost and heat gradually destroyed the mountains, and primarily weak rocks. The solids, of which the remains are composed, were destroyed less and preserved to the present day, and soft rocks were destroyed by weathered and demolished with water and wind in lowering relief.

The closer you approach them, the unusual becomes their appearance. One pillar, 34 m high, is somewhat away from others; He resembles a huge bottle, turned upside down. Six others lined up in a row at the edge of the cliff. Pillars have bizarre outlines and, depending on the inspection site, resemble the figure of a huge person, then the head of a horse or a ram. It is not surprising that in past times they deified the grand stoneworn sculptures, worshiped them, but climbing the manpoupler was the greatest sin.

The time of year is changing, the type of terrain changes. Very impressive terrain in the winter, when the remains are completely white, as if crystal. In the autumn there are fogs, and the pillars are drawn through the haze - there is something divine in this sight.

Today we get acquainted with the wonders of the world.

Slide

Miracles of light in antiquity called outstanding works of art and engineering thought, striking people with their greatness and beauty. These were huge statues and grand facilities - tombs, temples, palaces. It is believed that the first list of such miracles was the Greek writer Antipatra Sidonsky, who lived in the II century BC. He owns the expression "Miracle of Light" itself. Antipatra wrote a book. It was something like a guide for curious travelers. The list has repeatedly changed in antiquity. But gradually the "canonical" list was formed.

She heads the list of seven wonders of the world. Its height is 146 meters 60 centimeters, like a 50-storey house and consists of 2.5 million stone blocks. Young Pharaoh Heops gave an order about the construction of the pyramid immediately after the death of Father Snofra. He wanted to be buried after his death in the pyramid, which exceeds its size, splendor and luxury all other pyramids ... Over 4,000 thousand people - artists, architects, Kamenotens and other artisans carried out preparatory work of the whole 10 years and only then construction began. But whether the head of Heops had to take the pyramid of archaeologists after death, it was not proven. Three and a half thousand years of the pyramid of Heops were not disturbed.

Hanging gardens of semiramides (605-562 BC. Er) (Iraq)

The second miracle of the world is the hanging gardens of the Semiramides, the least studied by scientists. It is known only that they were in the legendary city of Mesopotamia - Babylon, and their creator is considered the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar the second for his wife, the Persian princess, whose name, as historians assumed there was a semicircuit, but in fact, Semiramid lived in two centuries later, and his wife Her called Amitis. The king spent most of his reign in military campaigns, so the gardens asked the loneliness of the spouse, which was from the mussel, where the climate was different. The king gave orders to soldiers - during trips to distant countries to dig up and collect all the plants that are not known to them and cross them into Babylon. So there was the first botanical garden in the world.

Palace gardens were not a wonder for those times, but the hanging gardens hit the imagination - on the beauty of the palace and park ensemble and the variety of plants growing there, they did not know equal.

Outside the garden, slaves were canewood, which on the scorching heat, at a temperature of about 50 degrees, tirelessly swung water from the source into small channels, along which it flowed from the top terrace, irrigated garden. While Babylon has gone away from merciless heat, everything bloomed here, glad of eyes. In the 4th century, Alexander Macedonsky won Assyria, where he was left before his death. According to legends, Alexander died in the shade of gardens.

Found the remains of the gardens German archaeologist Robert Koldoyevy in 1898.
