Μαύσωλος (Tomb)
The Μαύσωλος (Mausoleum) is an ancient tomb built for Mausolus, a satrap of the Persian Empire, in the city of Halicarnassus (modern-day Bodrum, Turkey). Constructed around 350 BC, it was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, celebrated for its grand architecture and intricate sculptures.
The structure stood approximately 45 meters tall and featured a combination of Greek, Egyptian, and Lycian design elements. It was adorned with impressive reliefs and statues, including works by renowned artists of the time. The Mausoleum was eventually destroyed by a series of earthquakes, but its legacy continues to influence tomb architecture today.
