SUMMARY:The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
DESCRIPTION:How many of the famous “Seven Wonders of the Ancient World” can you name off the top of your head? When were these colossal buildings and monuments constructed? What methods were used in their creation? Who assembled this list\, and why is it so renowned? How many of these architectural feats still exist today? Join biblical scholar and archaeologist Nate Ramsayer as he leads audience members on a brief tour of the ancient Near East\, stopping at all seven locations. Each of these creations produced a sense of awe for the beholder and great sentiment of pride for the community and culture who created them—come share in the fascination of the most renowned monuments in all of history! \nDoors open at 6:45 for visitors to tour the museum.  A brief business meeting at 7:15 is followed by the talk at 7:30.  Free and open to the public. \nAbout the Speaker: \nNate Ramsayer is a freelance biblical studies instructor\, giving guest lectures at churches\, synagogues\, senior communities\, schools\, and universities around the country.
