This four minute video reviews the history behind the building of this architecture marvel. It tells why it was built and size and history. Just about all that is remembered about the minor regional kingdom
around the ancient city of Halicarnassus ...is the tomb of one of its
rulers. His name was Mausolus. Mausoleum, a variant of his name, is
given to stately tombs even today. Would be good for a project on famous buildings of the past.
