Biographical sketch of Millie Christine, the Carolina Twin

Pharos was an island off the coast of Egypt, near Alexandria. It was famous for its lighthouse, completed 280 B. C., built of fine white marble. Its light was visible more than 40 miles. It existed 1600 years. Destroyed by earthquake.
The Temple of Diana at Ephesus was 220 years in being built, was of imposing richness, was 425 feet long, 225 feet broad, and supported by 127 columns of the finest Parian marble, each column 60 feet high and weighing 150 tons—these columns furnished by 127 Kings.
The Colossal Statue of Jupiter in the Temple of Olympia at Elis was of gold and ivory and sat enthroned 800 years, and was destroyed by fire about A. D. 475. An imitation of the head is preserved in the British Museum.
This statue was 105 feet high, and hollow, with a winding staircase to its head. After standing 56 years, it was destroyed by an earthquake, 224 years B. C. It lay for nine centuries on the ground. It is said to have required 900 camels to remove the metal, hence it must have weighed over 700,000 pounds. It was erected to express the gratitude of the City of Rhodes to their allies under the King of Egypt against their enemy, the King of Macedon.

This structure was erected by Artemisia, who was the sister, wife and successor of Mausolus, King of Caria, B. C. 353. It was a rectangular building, surrounded by an Ionic portico of 36 columns, and surmounted by a pyramid rising in 24 steps, upon the summit of which was a colossal marble quadriga, with a statue of Mausolus.
These were 70 in number. They were constructed of blocks of red granite and of a very hard stone. These were of extraordinary size, and their transportation and adjustment indicates a surprising degree of mechanical skill. The Great Pyramid was supposed to have been erected about 3,800 years B. C., and is of the enormous size of 746 square feet at its base, covering about 12 acres of ground, and is over 450 feet high. It was probably erected as a burial place for the rulers of Egypt.
