***The Statue of Zeus at Olympia, erected in 435 BC and 12 metres (40 feet) tall. It was dismantled by Christian rulers in the 5th or 6th centuries to discourage paganism. ***

Now wait a minute. According to a program on thei Discovery or History channel it was dismantled on the orders of Caligula to be moved to Rome. After Caligula’s death most of the statue was stored in another temple which was then destroyed by fire. Christians were NOT involved with it’s destruction.

Hillary Rodham Clinton - discovered in 1730

Scientists still don’t know where it came from, or how it’s still alive.

RE The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

I thought Saddam rebuilt them (post 1991) and had a celebration to commemorate with plenty of fanfare from other countries...but not much news of it in the US. I always wondered why there hasn’t been much news since the 2003 invasion.
