What reading level is The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The images were carried to the stage where the audience, which might have numbered more than fifty thousand, could see them. When the ceremonies, whatever they were, were com- pleted, the procession passed through the princi- pal streets and out by the Coressian gate and back to the temple.
Pilgrims flocked to Ephesus from all parts of the world, from Europe and Asia and Africa, vying with each other in the costliness of their gifts. There were treasures of gold and silver and ivory and rich em...broideries. Sculptors and artists de- voted their best works to the goddess, and among the objects most highly treasured were the statues n6 THE SEVEN WONDERS of the Amazons which Phidias made in competi- tion with other artists, and a painting of Alexander by Apelles. In time the temple became a great museum, perhaps the first great museum in the world's history.
Naturally the usual and the more acceptable gifts were of money, and the wealth of the temple became prodigious. To care for the money and to invest it properly, there were expert financiers in the priesthood.
