Helios :The Colossus of Rhodes - Le Colosse de Rhodes

[sedjetra]

Thank you for this video. Colossus looks like a Statue of Liberty, but only other gender.

@sedjetra Thank you for visiting :) and you know....never though about it that way .

[sedjetra]

@LaoMa111 Wow, you're a girl! Well you know these two statues have some similarities between them, wink wink ^_^ Helios is the Sun and Sun I love, so I love Helios as a Sun-God, great video and pictures thank you again!:)

why dont they just rebuild the Colossus of Rhodes!? who cares about some stupid oracle!

[LaoMa111]

@tetsuyanamamura As far as I know , they started rebuilding it . But the real issue that came up was the funds . Money , and since everyone is tight nowdays.......without funds . The project will stop....

Thanx for visiting :)

@tetsuyanamamura

Some believed that a big curse would fall upon the citizens in case they rebuild it. Others say that it would cost too large an amount.Today some say that it would boost tourisms in Rhodes. There was an annaouncement in November 2008 that the Colossus of Rhodes was to be rebuild and the new structure will be"a highly, highly structure" (between 60 and 100metres tall so that people and ships can enter it). There are many plans but the cost will be almost 200m Euros. Difficult...

[Vishas66]

you got the music from Neverwinter Nights

[LaoMa111]

@Vishas66 Yes , it is the music we hear once we complete Aribeth compaign.....I'm a big fan of that game and though the soundtrack would go well with the colossus of Rhode . :)

wow @ 42 secs that would be amazing to see in real life

[Alexandros1294]

I'm glad that the Rhodians are rebuilding the Colossus. This time though, they don't have a Demetrius Poliorcetes to get the material from =P

[cbairamis84]

i enjoyed this clip alot i have studied the war in which the people of rhodes won and the reason for building this statue and it prides me having being born only a few kilometers from where the statue stood

[tewhere1]

wow that would be totally awe inspiring to witness that statue if it was to be ressurrected again to its original specifications..thanx so much 4 this knowledge.

Another video I just can't help coming back to watch it over and over again! It's like being, through some magic, transported in another world...a world long gone by, alas, but that still holds the same fascination it did hundreds and thousands years ago! A travel back in time full of nostalgia and romanticism, and all of that rendered possible by these most wondrous videos of yours, LaoMa! Again, FIVE more than well-deserved stars! :D :D :D ♥ ♥ ♥

[Sloopy7275]

Well, your muse may have taken a nap but she didn't desert you...this was great!! I remember learning about this as a child and it fascinated me; I didn't know they were rebuilding it! I hope it lasts more than 56 years this time...

Once again, your music and visuals are very compelling and I look forward to your next one. Good job!!! You could work for a TV studio doing documentaries...

[LaoMa111]
