The colossus of Rhodes was a large statue of the Greek god Helios, made by the sculptor Cares de Lindos on the island of Rhodes (Greece) in 292 a. C. and destroyed by an earthquake in 226 a. C. It is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Everything that is known about this statue is due to the news left by the ancient writers Pliny the Elder,
Polybius and Strabo, and the Byzantine chronicles of Constantine VII Porfirogéneta, Michael the Sirius and Philo.
The statue (made with bronze plates on an iron frame) represented the Greek sun god, Helios.
According to Pliny the Elder, he was about 32 m:

But of all the most admired was the Colossus of the Sun, in Rhodes, made by Cares de Lindos, student of the Lisipo mentioned above. This statue was 70 cubits high. After 66 years an earthquake prostrated it, but even lying it is a miracle. Few can embrace the thumb with their arms, their fingers were larger than most of the statues that had ivory. The emptiness of its broken limbs resembles large caverns. Inside you can see magnificent rocks, whose weight had stabilized their constitution. Twelve years it took to finish it and it cost 300 talents, which were obtained from the war machines abandoned by King Demetrius in the siege of Rhodes.

The white marble base measured 40 cubits (15 meters). [Citation needed] It would have weighed about 70 tons. [Citation needed] By comparison, the Statue of Liberty - located in New York - measures 33 meters and has a base 48 meters, although it was built more than 2000 years later.
