Слайд 1. Приложение 1
Recently more than 100mln. People worldwide voted to name the new 7 wonders of the world. Many people took part in a global decision.
Let’s speak about them. Do you know these places?
THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA, TAJ MAHAL, THE ROMAN COLOSSEUM, THE CITY OF PETRA, CHRIST THE REDEEMER, CHICHEN ITZA, MACHU PICCHU
And who can tell us about these places?
Слайд 2. CHRIST THE REDEEMER
Christ the Redeemer is a statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is 39.6 metres tall, weighs 700 tons and stands on top of a mountain overlooking the city. A symbol of Christianity, the statue has become an icon of Rio and Brazil.
Слайд 3.
Christ the Redeemer was designed by Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa and sculpted by Paul Landowski a French monument sculptor of Polis origin. Construction began in 1921 and ended in 1931.
Слайд 4.
Why is it a Wonder? The statue's open arms are a symbol of both weIcome and protection, a gigantic statement of love and faith.
Слайд 5. MACHU PICCHU
Machu Picchu is an Inca city high in the Andes Mountains of Peru. The Spanish conquistadors destroyed other Inca cities, but never found Machu Picchu. It was only discovered in 1911.
Слайд 6.
Machu Picchu was built more than 500 years ago. It is said that the Inca ruler Pachacuti covered the buildings in the city with gold. About 750 people lived there and used the city for astrological and religious ceremonies.
Слайд 7.
The most important buildings in the city are the Temple of the Sun and the Room of the Three Windows. Why is it a Wonder? Machu Picchu is a place of magic and mystery: a hidden city in the clouds. And the last evidence of a long-gone empire.
Слайд 8. THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA
The Great Wall of China is the largest man-made structure in the world. It stretches across the mountains and deserts of China for thousands of kilometers and can be seen from space!
Слайд 9.
The Great Wall is actually a series of walls. The first one was built 2,000 years ago to protect the northern borders of China from the Mongol invaders. It was then built and rebuilt and extended until the 17th century, making it the longest building job ever!
Слайд 10.
Millions of people worked on the Great Wall over the centuries. They were not paid for their work and were fed only enough food to keep them alive. Countless workers lost their lives in the process and many of them were buried in the Wall. There is an old Chinese saying: 'Each stone in the wall represents a life lost in the wall's construction. '
Слайд 11.
No one knows for sure how long the Great Wall of China is, but it's probably about 6,400 km long. In 2007, researchers set out to measure the Great Wall and to study its route. The project will take four years. Why is it a Wonder? It's the largest man-made monument ever created .
Слайд 12. TAJ MAHAL
The Taj Mahal at Agra is India's most famous building. It was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1630 in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. She died giving birth to their fourteenth child, and her last wish was to be buried in a tomb 'such as the world had never seen before.
Слайд 13.
20,000 men worked on the Taj Mahal, creating a beautiful, white marble building which gleamed in the sunlight and was reflected in the waters of the pool. Sadly, Shah Jahan became ill in 1657, and this caused a war between his four sons.
Слайд 14.
The third son killed his rivals, took the throne and put his father in prison. However, when Shah Jahan died, his son allowed him to be buried at the Taj Mahal with his wife. Why is it a Wonder? The Taj Mahal is not only a beautiful building, but it's also a symbol of one man's undying love.
Слайд 15. THE ROMAN COLOSSEUM
The Roman Colosseum was built between 70 and 72 AD and was in use for 500 years before it was damaged by an earthquake. It still stands as one of the greatest buildings of ancient Rome.
Слайд 16.
The name ' Colosseum ' came from a colossal statue of Emperor Nero that stood nearby for many years. This open-air theatre and sports arena could seat 50,000 people who watched gladiator fights, executions and other spectacles. Gladiator The fights were a popular form of entertainment in ancient Rome.
Слайд 17.
Gladiators were specially trained people - slaves, criminals, prisoners of war - who fought each other (as well as wild animals) to death, while blood-thirsty crowds cheered them on. Why is it a Wonder? The Colosseum is a masterpiece of ancient Roman architecture. Besides, almost every sports stadium today is based on its design.
Слайд 18. THE CITY OF PETRA
The city of Petra was hidden in the mountains of Jordan for thousands of years when a young Swiss explorer Johan Ludwig Burckhardt rediscovered it in 1812.
Слайд 19.
You have probably seen Petra's Alkazneh ('The Treasury‘) in the last scenes of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It's only part of the lost city of Petra, one of the earliest known civilizations in the Middle East.
Слайд 20.
Temples, tombs, and other buildings in Petra are all carved into the sandstone cliffs. A poet described it as “a rose-red city half as old as time”.
Слайд 21
Petra fell into ruin in the 7th century and was unknown to Europeans until the 19th century. Why is it a Wonder? Petra is an example of beauty combined with creative engineering.
Слайд 22. CHICHEN ITZA
The city had pyramid-shaped temples and palaces, large squares, markets, baths and an astronomical observatory. Although all the buildings of Chichen Itza are now a natural stone colour, most were probably painted - some a bright red - and decorated with carvings and murals.
Слайд 23
Why is it a Wonder? Chichen Itza is a monument to a civilization which has completely and mysteriously disappeared. The Egyptians were not the only people who built pyramids. The Maya built them too.
Слайд 24.
Although scientists know little about the Maya (they had no written language), it is believed that the construction of Chichen Itza began around the 7th century and continued for about 200 years.
