SECOND GAME "TROUBLES FROM THE BARREL".

In honor of what god were they arranged Olympic Games? (Zeus). What do you know about this god?
What funds were used to build the Temple of Zeus at Olympia? (For donations)
What was the name of the cult room in which the statue of Zeus was installed? (cella)
Sculptor of a statue of Zeus? (Phidias)
What did the sculptor depict in the hands of Zeus? (on the left is a symbol of power - a scepter crowned with an eagle, the messenger of Zeus, and on the right palm is the winged goddess of Victory - Nike)
What material is the statue of Zeus made of? (The exposed parts of the body - the face, hands, palms and feet - of carefully polished ivory, everything else - of gold, eyes of precious stones, the size of a fist, the base of the sculpture - of wood, the throne - of gold and ivory, sandals - from gold)
How much fun is Zeus' golden attire? (44 talents, i.e. 200 kg,≈ DM 6 million).

Questions to the Seekers team on an excerpt from the film "Colossus of Rhodes":

1. Why did the king of Phrygia and Lycia in Asia Minor Demetrius, before going to war against the Egyptians against Alexandria, decide first to conquer Rhodes? (because the Rhodians did not want to join him in the war against Egypt - the main trading partner).

What is "gelepola"? (Siege tower of unprecedented dimensions for storming the fortress walls) - an oak nine-story tower (30 m), on wheels, with rams and catapults, allowing you to throw stones weighing up to 100 kg over a distance of several hundred meters. 3400 soldiers were required. To set such a mechanism in motion.
What was used from incendiary arrows to protect the tower? (Animal skins that were hung on a lattice of woven rods and constantly wetted with water).
Which of the gods did the Rhodians call for help? (To Helios, God of the Sun and patron of the city).
What oath did the Rhodians take if Helios would save them from defeat? (They vowed to erect a statue to him, which would be higher than the helepole).
How did Demetrius' morning offensive end? (Failure. Demetrius lifted the siege of the city, and the Rhodians began to build a statue of Helios).
Who is Haret? (Sculptor from Linda). The Rhodians ordered him an 18 m statue, agreed on a price. Then they asked me to double it, so the price doubled. In fact, costs and materials have increased 8 times. As a result, Haret went bankrupt and, after completing 12 years of work, committed suicide.
How many years did the statue stand, and what happened to it? (66 years old, collapsed in an earthquake). Why did it lie 900 years untouched? (The oracle's prediction that misfortune would fall on Rhodes if the statue was re-erected).
What did the Arabs who conquered Rhodes in 653 do with the statue? (They dismantled the bronze lining of the statue and transported it on nine hundred camels to Edessa, an ancient city in the north of Mesopotamia. The bronze was melted down there).

Questions to the team "Chudesniki" on an excerpt from the film "Lighthouse of Alexandria":

Why is the Lighthouse of Alexandria actually not the seventh wonder of the world, but the eighth? (Before its construction, the walls of Babylon were considered the second wonder of the world).
The height of the lighthouse built at the mouth of the Nile (130 m).
What city and on what occasion was founded in 331 by Alexander the Great? (Alexandria, in honor of the anniversary of the conquest of Egypt).
Did Alexander of Macedon see the lighthouse? (No, he died 23 years before its construction began).
Where was the world's first lighthouse located? (On the island of Pharos).
Why was the lighthouse built? (Initially, for use in the daytime as a nautical signal, and with the development of shipping, also at night. A powerful lighting device was installed on the lighthouse, in which wood resin and oil were burned. The light was focused and reflected by a concave mirror. This is a powerful radiation and a bold design The towers were the reason why the Lighthouse of Alexandria was listed among the Seven Wonders of the World).
What god's statue was at the top of the lighthouse? (Poseidon).
How many years did the Lighthouse of Alexandria stand? (1000 years, in 796 it was destroyed by an earthquake).

Summarizing. Rewarding.

To help the organizers of the game.

Why are there seven wonders of the world?

The very choice of number is consecrated by the most ancient ideas about its completeness, completeness and perfection.

In Egyptian philosophy and astronomy - the sum of two "life" numbers - 3 and 4: three people - father, mother and child - the basis of life, and 4 is the number of cardinal points and wind directions.

Pythagoras - 7 is the sum of 3 + 4: a triangle and a quadrangle - a manifestation of completeness and perfection.

The ancient Jews - "in 6 days the Lord created heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them, and rested on the seventh day."

The ancient Greeks - annually chose the 7 best tragic and comic actors.

And the ancient Greeks. And the ancient Romans revered the seven wise men.

Rome was founded on 7 hills.

Christianity recognizes 7 deadly sins and 7 sacraments.

Muslims consider the seventh heaven to be the place of highest enlightenment.

On June 27, on the day of the "seven sleepers", Catholics commemorate the seven brothers - the holy martyrs who, for their faith in Christ, were immured alive in the wall. As the people say, the rain that began on this day will not stop for seven weeks, and therefore collect your belongings, seven necessary things and run away with leaps and bounds.

The Pleiades are called constellations of 7 stars.

In fairy tales, the number is 7 (The villain Bluebeard had 7 wives; Snow White and 7 dwarfs; seven brothers - heroes live in the tower in "The Tale of the Dead Princess and 7 Heroes", and the brave tailor killed seven (flies!) With one blow).

The number 7 was considered the sacred number of God Apollo (Seven against Thebes, Seven Wise Men, etc.). or in the technical sense of the most striking buildings of monuments of art. That is why they were called miracles, while many genuine masterpieces of ancient architecture and art are missing from the list - the Acropolis in Athens with the creation of Phidias - the statue of Athena Parthenos, the famous statue of Aphrodite of Cnidus by Praxiteles, etc.

Mentions of the Seven Wonders appear in the writings of Greek authors, starting from the Hellenistic era. They should have been known at school, scientists and poets wrote about them. The text of one Egyptian papyrus, which was a textbook, mentions the names of famous legislators, painters, sculptors, architects, inventors, which are obligatory for memorization, then the largest islands, mountains and rivers, and, finally, the Seven Wonders of the World. The "selection" of miracles took place gradually, and one miracle replaced another. Their full enumeration is given in his epigram by Antipater of Sidon (3rd century BC)
