The Colussus of Rhodes , one of the original Seven Wonders of the World , is going to be reconstruct as an advanced low-cal sculpture — the “ world ’s declamatory lite installation ” according to its designer . And it ’ll be even heavy than the 120 - foot master , which was destruct in an earthquake in 226BC.The novel architectural objet d’art will be between 200 and 320 feet tall , and instead of being a diversion of the original — adventure inflaming Hellenic public opinion on heritage issues , apparently — it’ll be a building visitors can get in , cut across with light effects so that it can “ tell ” tale throughout the day . There ’s no word on whether it ’ll stand astride the harbor like the original is sometimes thought to have , but with planning and financial backing already afoot it may be stand within six years , half the prison term the original take aim .
