The Lighthouse of Alexandria suffered damage from several earthquakes between 956 and 1323 CE, eventually leading to its final collapse. The ruins were then used in other constructions. The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was destroyed by fire after being relocated to Constantinople. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, if it ever really existed, were likely destroyed natural disasters or warfare might have caused their destruction. The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was destroyed by arson and rebuilt a couple of times before being razed for a final time by the early Chritians. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was damaged by earthquakes and completely destroyed by the 15th century. The Colossus of Rhodes was a large bronze statue that toppled in an earthquake in 226 BCE. Its remnants were later sold off by invaders. And finally we have the Great Pyramid of Giza, which although still intact is missing its polished limestone cover and gold capstone.
