21 IS BACK! After a few months on hiatus, the show will be back next week! I am very excited to be back doing episodes as we continue down the list of the wonders of the ancient world.

Sadly, 21 has to go on hiatus. School is taking up more and more of my time, and sadly the podcast, which is something that I just do for fun, has to be placed on the backburner. But never fear, we will return to our list and wonder at the magnificence of the ancient world.

In this episode, we look at what happened outside of Alesia, the site of the 12th wonder of the ancient world. We will see how these walls were launch point from where Julius Caesar launched himself into history.

In this episode, we look at the 12th wonder of the ancient world. Definitely different than the rest, the 12th wonder was constructed to win a war. It created a win or die situation. But not just a win or die for the armies, but for an entire budding empire.

In this episode, we conclude our visit to the 11th wonder of the ancient world, the Great Library at Alexandria. We see how the struggle for power led to the demise of the greatest learning center in history.

In this episode, we will take a look at the 11th wonder of the ancient world. Unlike the rest of the wonders we have covered so far, this wonder is not a wonder due to magnificent structure, treasure, or ruler. It is a wonder because it was truly one of a kind. Possibly the greatest collection of information until the founding of the internet.

In this episode, we look at the décor of the Mausoleum of Mausolus. Some of the most exquisite, beautiful carvings in the ancient world, these decorations elevated the mausoleum from an elaborate tomb to wonder of the ancient world.

In this episode, we are back to one of the original seven as we look at the 10th wonder of the ancient world. This one left such a lasting impression on the people who saw it, that we get our modern word mausoleum from this amazing wonder.

In this episode, we explore one particular rabbit trail about the Temple of Solomon; the Ark of the Covenant. We discuss a number of theories about where the Ark is, and I give my personal theory which, if correct, would answer two of the biggest mysteries of the ancient world.

In this episode, we conclude our visit to the 9th wonder of the ancient world, King Solomon's Temple to Jehovah at Jerusalem. We will see how the temple was originally destroyed, rebuilt, only to be thoroughly destroyed again.

In this episode, we see what King Solomon had made for the interior of the Temple of the Lord. The amount of gold, silver, and bronze used in the construction of the Temple has yet to be matched in history.

In this episode, we look at the 9th wonder of the ancient world, the Temple of Solomon. Built during the greatest reign of any king in history, this temple was perhaps the most expensive building in the world, ever.

In this episode, we do something a little different. We read a number of first hand descriptions of the Pharos and its impact on the ancient and medieval worlds.

In this episode, we finish up with the Temple Complexes along the Avenue of the Dead. One of the most elaborate temple complexes ever created, it creates more unknowns and asks more questions to us today than we have answers to.

In this episode, we will cover the seventh wonder on the list, the Temple complexs along the Avenue of the Dead. Arguably the greatest religious site in MesoAmerica, it was still used by the Aztecs more than 1000 years later.

In this episode, we look at the 6th wonder on our list, the TerraCotta Army. Built to guard the impressive tomb for the first emperor of China, this army is truly one-of-a-kind in the world even to this day.

In this episode, we dive deep into the heart of the Pyramid. We look at what the interior of the Pyramid looks like, as well as a new, fascinating discovery in the interior of the Pyramid.

In this episode, we look at what the completed Pyramid would've looked like. We also see how the Great Pyramid of Giza inspired a number of works to be built upon the Giza Plateau.

In this episode we look at the fifth wonder on our list. This wonder needs no introduction, as it is certainly the most famous building in the world and recognizable to anyone and everyone.

In this episode, we discuss what happened to Trajan's Bridge upon it's completion. We will see if the Romans were successful in their military campaign in which they used this magnificent bridge, and how much of it still stands today.

In this episode, we are on to the fourth wonder on our list. While certainly not the most well known of structures, the fourth wonder on our list is perhaps one of the most impressive structures ever built.

In this episode, we will loot at what happened to the Colossus upon it's completion. We will see when it fell, and even how much it weighed.

In this episode, we will discuss what happened to the Ishtar Gate and how it ended up in a country more than 1000 miles away.
