The sun god Apollon

Rhodes Island is considered one of the origins of ancient Greek civilization. In myths and myths, in ancient times of ancient times, after the end of the war between the Greek gods, Zeus became the lord of the gods. Zeus divided the territory for other gods but forgot the territory for the sun god Apollon - who had found the celestial palace. By the time Apollon returned, Zeus gave God Apollon a rock deep in the sea Égée. The cheerful rock rose up to the sea to welcome the sun god to reside. The god Apollon was very pleased with his territory, he used the name of the daughter of Rhodes (daughter of the Goddess of Love) to name the island. The three sons of the sun god Apollon are Caminos, Maunosos, Limgos, and are also listed on this island and each day builds their own kingdom. The life on Rhodes Island was prosperous, and attracted large countries like Athens, Sparta, Macedonia, Persia, and Rome to invade and destroy many strongholds. By 227 BC, cities on Rhodes Island were once again destroyed by a powerful earthquake.

The other three strongholds on the island after the earthquake were destroyed were not rebuilt, but only built villages nearby, thus preserving the stone pillars. Only Rhodes - the Apollon sun shelter, was almost rebuilt and widened, so no trace of the earthquake that destroyed the old city was seen. Here only to see the rare features of the ancient city of this city through many things to make the excavator such as marble wall, statue of Apollon statue carved in the second century and the statue of nude goddess of love Aphrodite was sculpted in the first century. But the goddess of Apollon is considered "The Seventh Miracle of the World" and is not known when it was missing.

The casting of the sun god statue took place around the 5th century BC. When the Persians invaded Rhodes Island, the entire inhabitants of the island retreated to protect Limgos on the eastern tip of the island. They finally managed to fight off the Persian attack. After defeating the Persian invaders, people brought all the enemy weapons left to burn into iron. The sculptor Litas cast the Apollon sun god statue and placed it in the harbor of the territorial town. Besides, the Roman philosopher of the same time as Apollon named Antipot is also considered the "Seventh wonder of the world".

During the strong earthquake more than 2,200 years ago, the big statue of the Sun god had collapsed. Someone, the collapsed statue could not be recast and the 7th century was burned into other types of weapons. But someone said the bronze statue had been stolen, the pirates had sunk the boat when they encountered a storm at sea. Now posterity can only imagine the statue model through the brief notes in history books. The Statue of Liberty in New York (USA) is cast on the basis of associating the model of the sun god statue with the posture of holding the torch, crown head, radiating aura like the sun.
