MAUSOLEUM OF HALICARNASSUS

The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus was the tomb of the Persian Satrap Mauslos, built in 351 BCE. Mauslos chose Halicarnassus as his capital city, and he and his beloved wife Artemisia went to great lengths to create a city whose beauty would be unmatched in the world. Mauslos died in 353 BCE and Artemisia wished to create a final resting place worthy of such a great king. Artemisia died two years after Mauslos and her ashes were entombed with his in the mausoleum (Pliny the Elder records that the craftsmen continued work on the structure after her death, both as a tribute to their patroness and knowing the work would bring them lasting fame). The tomb was 135 feet (41 m) tall and ornately decorated with fine sculpture. It was destroyed by a series of earthquakes and lay in ruin for hundreds of years until, in 1494 CE, it was completely dismantled and used by the Knights of St. John of Malta in the building of their castle at Bodrum (where the ancient stones can still be seen today). It is from the tomb of Mauslos that the English word `mausoleum’ is derived.

COLOSSUS OF RHODES

The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of the god Helios (the patron god of the island of Rhodes) constructed between 292 and 280 BCE. It stood over 110 feet (just over 33 m) high overlooking the harbor of Rhodes and, despite fanciful depictions to the contrary, stood with its legs together on a base (much like the Statue of Liberty in the harbor off New York City in the United States of America, which is modeled on the Colossus) and did not straddle the harbour. The statue was commissioned after the defeat of the invading army of Demetrius in 304 BCE. Demetrius left behind much of his siege equipment and weaponry and this was sold by the Rhodians for 300 talents (approximately 360 million U.S. dollars) which money they used to build the Colossus. The statue stood for only 56 years before it was destroyed by an earthquake in 226 BCE. It lay in impressive ruin for over 800 years, according to Strabo, and was still a tourist attraction. Pliny the Elder claims that the fingers of the Colossus were larger than most statues of his day. According to the historian Theophanes the bronze ruins were eventually sold to “a Jewish merchant of Edessa” around 654 CE who carried them away on 900 camels to be melted down.



LIGHTHOUSE OF ALEXANDRIA

The Lighthouse at Alexandria, built on the island of Pharos, stood close to 440 feet (134 m) in height and was commissioned by Ptolemy I Soter. Construction was completed sometime around 280 BCE. The lighthouse was the third tallest human-made structure in the world (after the pyramids) and its light (a mirror which reflected the sun’s rays by day and a fire by night) could be seen as far as 35 miles out to sea. The structure rose from a square base to a middle octagonal section up to a circular top and those who saw it in its glory reported that words were inadequate to describe its beauty. The lighthouse was badly damaged in an earthquake in 956 CE, again in 1303 CE and 1323 CE and, by the year 1480 CE, it was gone. The Egyptian fort Quaitbey now stands on the site of the Pharos, built with some of the stones from the ruins of the lighthouse.

Good day guys if you miss yesterdays post on the origin of food you can click (https://yinkajimoh..com/2018/07/10-origins-of-popular-foods.html) to read on that, today we would be talking about something more ancient. Trying to go back in time has not been easy but with the help of ancient.eu we present to you The Seven Wonders.

Seven Wonders were first defined as themata (Greek for 'things to be seen’ which, in today’s common English, we would phrase as 'must sees’) by Philo of Byzantium in 225 BCE, in his work On The Seven Wonders. Other writers on the Seven Wonders include Herodotus, Callimachus of Cyrene and Antipater of Sidon. Of the original seven, only the Great Pyramid exists today.

GREAT PYRAMID AT GIZA

The Great Pyramid at Giza was constructed between 2584 and 2561 BCE for the Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu (known in Greek as `Cheops') and was the tallest man-made structure in the world for almost 4,000 years. Excavations of the interior of the pyramid were only initiated in earnest in the late 18th and early 19th centuries CE and so the intricacies of the interior which so intrigue modern people were unknown to the ancient writers. It was the structure itself with its perfect symmetry and imposing height which impressed ancient visitors.

HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, if they existed as described, were built by Nebuchadnezzar II between 605-562 BCE as a gift to his wife. They are described by the ancient writer Diodorus Siculus as being self-watering planes of exotic flora and fauna reaching a height of over 75 feet (23 metres) through a series of climbing terraces. Diodorus wrote that Nebuchadnezzar's wife, Amtis of Media, missed the mountains and flowers of her homeland and so the king commanded that a mountain be created for her in Babylon. The controversy over whether the gardens existed comes from the fact that they are nowhere mentioned in Babylonian history and that Herodotus, `the Father of History', makes no mention of them in his descriptions of Babylon. There are many other ancient facts, figures, and places Herodotus fails to mention, however, or has been shown to be wrong about. Diodorus, Philo, and the historian Strabo all claim the gardens existed. They were destroyed by an earthquake sometime after the 1st century CE.

STATUE OF ZEUS AT OLYMPIA

The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was created by the great Greek sculptor Phidias (known as the finest sculptor of the ancient world in the 5th century BCE, he also worked on the Parthenon and the statue of Athena there in Athens). The statue depicted the god Zeus seated on his throne, his skin of ivory and robes of hammered gold, and was 40 feet (12 m) tall, designed to inspire awe in the worshippers who came to the Temple of Zeus at Olympia. Not everyone was awestruck by the statue, however. Strabo reports, “Although the temple itself is very large, the sculptor is criticized for not having appreciated the correct proportions. He has shown Zeus seated, but with the head almost touching the ceiling, so that we have the impression that if Zeus moved to stand up he would unroof the temple” (Seven Wonders). The Temple at Olympia fell into ruin after the rise of Christianity and the ban on the Olympic Games as `pagan rites’. The statue was carried off to Constantinople where it was later destroyed, sometime in either the 5th or 6th centuries CE, by an earthquake.



TEMPLE OF ARTEMIS AT EPHESUS

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus (Ephesos), a Greek colony in Asia Minor, took over 120 years to build and only one night to destroy. Completed in 550 BCE, the temple was 425 feet (about 129 m) high, 225 feet (almost 69 m) wide, supported by 127 60 foot (about 18 m) high columns. Sponsored by the wealthy King Croesus of Lydia, who spared no expense in anything he did (according to Herodotus, among others) the temple was so magnificent that every account of it is written with the same tone of awe and each agrees with the other that this was among the most amazing structures ever raised by humans. On July 21, 356 BCE a man named Herostratus set fire to the temple in order, as he said, to achieve lasting fame by forever being associated with the destruction of something so beautiful. The Ephesians decreed that his name should never be recorded nor remembered but Strabo set it down as a point of interest in the history of the temple. On the same night the temple burned, Alexander the Great was born and, later, offered to rebuild the ruined temple but the Ephesians refused his generosity. It was rebuilt on a less grand scale after Alexander’s death but was destroyed by the invasion of the Goths. Rebuilt again, it was finally destroyed utterly by a Christian mob lead by Saint John Chrysostom in 401 CE.

9. Guacamole

The avocado is one of the most delicious and healthiest foods grown in the Americas. The Aztecs created the delicacy sometime between the 14th and 16th Century. When the Spanish made contact with the Aztecs in the 1500s, they found the locals enjoying a savory sauce mashed up with avocados, salt, chili peppers, onions, and tomatoes. The modern version of Guacamole includes lime and cilantro.

10. Coffee

Credit a goat for discovering coffee. As the legend goes, an Ethiopian shepherd named Kaldi found his goats going berserk after eating bright red fruit from a bush. Kaldi tried the berries himself and he was overwhelmed by its euphoric effect. Kaldi told local monks about the fruit, and the monks manipulated the fruit to stay awake for long prayer sessions. The effects were so remarkable that the monks shared the fruit with other monasteries around the world. The coffee trade was born and now there’s a Starbucks on every corner.

5. Buffalo Chicken Wings

A bar in Buffalo, New York, a town near the USA/Canadian border, was the birthplace of Buffalo Chicken Wings. The Anchor Bar was owned by the Bellissimo family. Sometime in the late 1960s, Teressa Bellissimo cooked a late-night snack for her son who was visiting home from university. The kitchen was closed, but Teressa whipped up a dish of deep-fried chicken wings smothered in a spicy-hot cayenne sauce. Her family loved it and soon enough, Teressa Bellissimo’s spicy chicken wings were in high demand by regulars to help warm up pub patrons on long, cold winter nights.

6. Nutella

Necessity is the mother of invention. Nutella was created in Italy during World War II. Due to rationing of certain goods, including cocoa, chocolate was in extremely short supply in Italy and most of Europe. A pastry maker by the name of Pietro Ferrero took advantage of his town’s abundance of hazelnuts, which he included in a chocolate spread to make it last longer. After World War II, Nutella became a delicacy all over Europe. Nutella has since become one of the highest-selling spreads in the world. According to Forbes, with a net worth of $23.4 billion generated by surging Nutella sales, Pietro Ferrero’s son was the wealthiest person in all of Italy when he passed away in 2015.

7. Pizza

Greeks and Romans were known to include different ingredients on the top of their flatbread. The modern pizza dates back 1889 in Naples, Italy. To honor the visit of Queen Margherita di Savoia, a baker named Raffaele Esposito created a special flat bread dish inspired by the newly designed Italian flag colors of red, white, and green. Esposito decorated the top of his flat bread using three ingredients: green basil, white mozzarella, and red tomato. Thus, the Margherita Pizza was born. In 1905, the first modern-day pizzeria was opened in New York City, USA by Gennaro Lombardi.

8. Popsicle/Ice Lolly

The simplest summer treat was created by an 11-year old kid on a cold winter night in Oakland, California, USA. Yes, the rumors are true. In 1905, a child by the name of Frank Epperson accidentally created the first “popsicle.” He left a concoction of flavored soda, water, and a stick outside overnight. Mother Nature handled the rest. An overnight chill froze the ingredients in a glass and young Frank was treated with a delicious surprise the next morning. Frank made the soda pop frozen treat for his friends. It looked like an icicle and the neighborhood kids nicknamed it “Eppsicle.” As an adult, Epperson officially filed a patent for his invention and the name was eventually changed to Popsicle.

Ever wonder where your favorite foods came from? You’d be surprised to discover the origins behind some of the most popular foods in the world.

Here at yinka jimohs blog on our food column with the help of listoflove.com we present to you as follows;

1. Hamburgers

Historians point to Genghis Khan’s army for creating the earliest version of a hamburger in the 1200s. Khan’s Mongol cavalry needed to eat on the move while they rode on horseback. Chopped up, raw lamb meat was perfect because they could eat with one hand while using the other to steer their horse. When Kublai Khan invaded Moscow, he introduced ground meat to the Russians. Over the years, Russian chefs adapted Steak Tartare or Mongolian Steak, but refined it by including other local ingredients and spices. By the 1600s, the Russian version of steak tartare eventually made its way to the port of Hamburg, Germany. The locals adored the Russian meat dish and quickly adopted it as its own. It became known through Germany as Hamburg Steak.

In New York City, at the end of the 1800s, food vendors wanted to attract business from German sailors by offering special Hamburg-style patty steaks. At some point vendors started serving smaller versions between pieces of bread. Thus, the modern-day hamburger was born.

2. Ice Cream Waffle Scones

The first time ice cream was served in a waffle-like cone was in 1904 at the World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Ernest Hamwi was a pastry vendor situated next to the ice cream booth. The booth ran out of ice cream dishes because customers were not returning them fast enough. Hamwi offered up his waffles as a means to hold the ice cream. Patrons raved about the odd combination of ice cream inside rolled-up waffles. Since then, his waffle cones were baked wafer-thin and ice cream was scooped inside and topped. At Ben and Jerry ice cream parlors, they make their own waffles on premises.

3. Caesar Salad

Don’t believe the rumors on this one. Caesar Salad was not named after the Roman Emperor, although its creator was Italian. Restaurateur Cesare Cardini opened a restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico, just over the California/Mexico border. As legend goes, a group of famous Hollywood industry types came into his restaurant rather late. He did not have food, but whipped up a dish with leftover ingredients. The new dish became an instant hit and to add some Hollywood panache, he had the dish prepared tableside. Contrary to popular belief, Cardini did not use anchovies in his salad dressing. His original recipe called for Worcestershire sauce.

4. The Sandwich

The birth of the sandwich was credited to Lord John Montagu also known as the Fourth Earl of Sandwich. Montagu had a reputation as a notorious gambler throughout the British Isles. In the late 1700s, the sandwich was born because Montagu was too busy gambling to actually step away from the table to eat. He could not be bothered with silverware and ate the roast beef with his bare hands, which got the playing cards dirty. To cure the messiness and stop drawing the ire of the casino manager, Montagu started using two pieces of bread to hold the meat while he played cards. The Earl of Sandwich’s gambling snack consisting of bread + meat + bread eventually became an international sensation, earning him a place in historical casino pop culture and in American fast-casual food with the popular chain Earl of Sandwich, opening new locations regularly.
