7 wonders to choose from, only one had light on top of it.

I thought it was the great pyramid. The mountain shape, and the rising sun was the golden capstone.

Exactly what I thought, too.

I thought it was the Colossus of Rhodes. Thought it was huge and from bronze, so the sun would reflect off the head.

@joeldick6871 4 ай бұрын

I said Great Pyramid of Giza because of "mountain", and I seem to remember that it was topped with a capstone.

@zacharyanderson3791 4 ай бұрын

The capstone was said to have shone as bright as the sun

@mournblade1066 3 ай бұрын

Same here.

The only problem with the pyramid is that it didn't have a "second sun" and the lighthouse of Alexandria had a cauldron of fire at the top which would have been interpreted by visitors sailors and ancients as being a second sun.

Achilles Last Stand 🎸

(spoilers block for mobile) . . . . I thought this was fairly straightforward, and I'm surprised nobody got it. The issue is getting there and writing two ten-letter words in 30 seconds. "Second sun" had to refer to the lighthouse. I mean, you could rule out the Hanging Gardens right away (they may have been a myth as it is), and I believe the Great Statue of Zeus was indoors, so that one was not it, either. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and Temple of Artemis were unlikely. That left the Colossus, the pyramids, and lighthouse. Only one of those burned fire. I'd love to visit it someday, after all their work to recreate it.

People really need to read and understand the 2/3 betting strategy for Final Jeopardy.

@germanname1990 4 ай бұрын

I figured it could not have been the Colossus because that wasn’t on a mountain. All I could think of was the Parthenon. The other Wonders I knew of were the Pyramids, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and the Temple of Zeus. Of the other two I couldn’t think of, one of them was the correct response.

What is the Pharos of Alexandria.

I thought Collossus of Rhodes at first too.

@markintexas3030 4 ай бұрын

I knew it was the lighthouse, I just couldn’t remember where the lighthouse was.

@NomadicBrian 4 ай бұрын

Ach I was in the right part of the world. I was thinking Pyramid though but the sun at the top didn't fit. I also thought maybe a tomb with a sun drawn in as a doorway to the Gods. When I heard the answer I kicked myself. I had forgotten about the lighthouse.

@0217ldp 3 ай бұрын

I didn't know a lighthouse was one of the seven great wonders of the world.

Booya I nailed that.

Congratulations taylor on advancing to the semi finals

@craigkatz1018 3 ай бұрын

I knew right away that it was the Pharos of Alexandria(its the same as the Lighthouse of Alexandria) from a few context clues. First was the arthurs name sounded greek to me so i narrowed it down to that and the colssus of rhodes. The second clue was the second sun. I figured out that that had to refer to the light at the top of the lighthouse.

@KC_Streams 4 ай бұрын

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought great pyramid. This Tatius guy must have felt like a right moron when he saw the lighthouse and was like, "Yeah that looks like a mountain" and then he journeyed further south and realised he'd used his best similie a bit too early

@craigkatz1018 3 ай бұрын

Do we know if he traveled farther south? I don't think he did and he could have been on a boat in the Mediterranean and seeing the lighthouse would have looked like a mountain. Also the second sun was referring to the flame that acted like the beacon at the top of the lighthouse

What was that woman thinking, wagering 9k with a smiley face while not even being in the lead???? That didn't even look like she didn't finish writing????

@theemmjay5130 4 ай бұрын

She didn't know what the clue was when she entered her wager.

Did anyone else play Civ II?

@andrewklang809 4 ай бұрын

Yup. Still remember the wonder movies. The one for The Great Lighthouse was nice - crashing waves, fanciful Renaissance artwork, music clearly inspired from the score to Last of the Mohicans.

Any Civ, really.
