Imagine the Colossus of Rhodes, the Statue of Zeus and the other ancient Seven Wonders of the World as they looked when they were built thousands of years ago.
Artificial intelligence has done just that, recreating every historical structure in modern society with busy tourists taking photos with smartphones.
Of the original seven, only one remains today, while the others were lost over time to war, crumbling civilizations and natural disasters.
But with the help of the imagine generator Midjourney, the AI has brought her back from the dead so the world can take a different look.
Colossus of Rhodes
Ancient artwork depicting the Colossus of Rhodes shows the statue at the harbor entrance, but researchers have determined that such a feat would be impossible. Instead, the god stood on a pedestal near the harbor entrance and greeted the visiting ships
It was a stunning feat of engineering and construction, and the statue towered 100 feet above Rhodes Harbor.
The huge statue, which took about 12 years to build, was made of bronze plates and depicted the Greek sun god Helios.

An earthquake led to the downfall of the Statute, which, after its completion in 282 BC, was destroyed. BC lasted less than a century.
Great Pyramid of Giza

The only surviving relic from ancient times is in Egypt and is still one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world.
The ancient Egyptians spent 20 years laying stones weighing up to 2.5 tons each, which were dragged by enslaved people under the orders of Pharaoh Khufu

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Legend has it that the gardens were located about 50 miles south of Baghdad, Iraq. It is believed that the gardens were built as early as 600 BC. BC existed and had 65-foot-high terraces
According to ancient texts, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon featured elaborate terraces, magnificent water features, and floating plants.
However, stories are the only evidence that the lush oasis existed.
One text specifically claimed that the Babylonian Emperor Nebuchadnezzar planted the gardens in the Babylonian province of Iraq for his wife Amyitis.
Yet they were not mentioned in any text written by the emperor or his wife.

It is believed that the gardens were built as early as 600 BC. BC existed and had 65-foot-high terraces.
If the gardens existed, they would have existed after the Achaemenid Empire's conquest in 539 BC. was destroyed.
Statue of Zeus in Olympia

Olympia built the statue of the ruler of the gods to overshadow the city's rivals – those in Athens.

Records show that the massive statue was destroyed in a fire in Constantinople in 426 AD.
Alexandria Lighthouse
The Alexandria lighthouse was destroyed by earthquakes in the ancient Egyptian port. The AI recreated the amazing structure as if it had never been shaken by the events
The most famous lighthouse of antiquity once stood more than 350 feet high on the island of Pharos in the port of Alexandria in ancient Egypt.
It was a complex structure designed to demonstrate the power of the world's intellectual capital while revealing its mathematical and geometric foundations.
Sostratus of Knidos designed the burning fire to rest on a cylindrical tower, an octagonal center, and a square base.
After a series of earthquakes, it eventually fell into disrepair and fell into disrepair during the Middle Ages.
Mausoleum of Halicarnassus
AI re-imagined the massive tomb as tourists rushed up the stairs to view the miracle that took place in 350 B.C. was built. It contained the remains of Mausolus, ruler of Caria
The tomb was built for Mausolus, the ruler of Caria, an ancient region of Asia Minor.
The building was so impressive that the late king's name became the generic term for important funerary monuments.
The structure was a mix of Greek, Middle Eastern and Egyptian design principles, embedded in Anatolian and Pentelic marble.
When the tomb was excavated, the sacrificial remains of oxen, sheep and birds were believed to be remnants of a “farewell feast” for the mausoleum's long-term tenant.
It was written in 350 B.C. Built in what is now Turkey in the 13th century BC, it was destroyed by a series of earthquakes.
Temple of Artemis in Ephesus
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was built and rebuilt over many years. The most famous one was around 550 BC. Built in 500 BC and financed by King Croesus of Lydia. Unlike many other temples of its time, it was made of marble and glittered with gold
Artemis is the Greek goddess of chastity, hunting, wild animals, forests and fertility. The building was built and destroyed three times.
The first to demolish it was Herostratos, who burned it down just to become famous.
Next came the Goths, who, fleeing from the Romans, destroyed the city.
Eventually, a Christian mob tore it apart in 401 AD, leaving only the foundations and a single pillar that can still be seen today.
