by Rick Wakeman

on The Seven Wonders of the World (1995)

The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was the most magnificent tomb ever constructed, in the 4th century B.C.
Built by the ambitious King Mausollos as a monument to his power.
The Mausoleum survived for many centuries before eventually falling into ruin in 1581.
With the stones from the remains being used to build a fortress.
