One of the seven wonders of the world, Colossus of Rhodes could be rebuilt under plans by a team of young scientists including several from the UK.
The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of the Greek titan god of the sun Helios, raised at the mouth of the island's harbour in the city of Rhodes, on the Greek island of the same, name 300 years before the birth of Christ.
The Colossus of Rhodes stood over 30-metres-high (98 feet), making it one of the tallest statues of the ancient world, but was eventually destroyed along with five other wonders including the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Temple of Artemis, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and the Statue of Zeus, with only the Great Pyramid of Giza surviving.

in other news, ISIS has already made plans to infiltrate greece and blow it up after the grand opening.

Badass. Although i don't think they have any real idea of exactly what it looked like or exactly how big it was.

Most of the ancient sites in Greece, and on Rhodes, are rebuilt anyways. Many by Mussolini. So this isn't a shocker.
Rhodes is awesome btw.

Probably waiting to be invaded by someone else who will pay for it like last time all their sites were updated and repaired.

Let's give Greece a big pile of money for a neat construction project; they can surely be trusted.

and peep aboutto find ourselves dishonorable graves

Kinda gay ...

Question to the OT engineers, is this thing just fall down again in a few years or is it possible to make it structurally sound? An earthquake took it out last time but I imagine a modern ship hitting it would knock it down too.
