// The seven ancient wonders as a set of architectural forms from the Hellenistic era, which were considered worthy to be visited; being as monuments to the creation and human ingenuity. Each of these structures went through a long process of construction: the Pyramids of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylonian, the Temple of Artemis, the Mausoleum of Halicarnaso, the colossus of Rhodes, the statue of Zeus and the Lighthouse of Alexandria; later were destroyed. The pyramids of Giza // //are the only structure that is still standing; these pyramids were completed around the year 2570 BC, and used as tombs. For its part one of the most important works for me is the// //lighthouse of Alexandria located in Egypt, not only for being a modern structure, and new visual whose height was estimated at 115 and// //150 meters// //, but because I had a purpose which was to help ships to dock in the port of the city, serve as a point of reference and a lighthouse.//

//Lighthouse of Alexandria.//
