Question

The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus was a pyramid shaped building with a 25 foot statue on it.

True

False

Answer 1

False. The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus was not pyramid-shaped; it was a monumental tomb built for Mausolus, a Persian satrap, and his wife Artemisia. It had a stepped design that included a large rectangular base, a stepped pyramid-like roof, and was topped with a chariot and statue of Mausolus, which was around 10 feet tall, not 25 feet. The entire structure is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
