"The Colussus of Rhodes probably did not stand astride the harbor entrance as shown here"
- Then why use that picture? Mintguy
- The caption polus text should explain the historic image, fixed in the European imagination. --Wetman 08:48, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
_____ The section subtitled 'Fate' makes no sense to me at all. It starts off by describing the statue, then says something about the use of ramps that doesn't make sense: "...and bronze plates attached to the bars formed the use of a large earthen ramp." Then it says: "Construction had offended Helios, and they declined to rebuild it." Something is wrong with this sentence IE it seems to be missing a large amount of information between someone being offended, and then someone refusing to rebuild it. Was it smashed down?
- Quite right, Garbled. The article had been heavily vandalized by deletions from Anons. (see History). I've returned it to my former edit. --Wetman 08:48, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
