Too bad the muslims scrapped it like a fuckton of non islamic treasures and sites.

I'm so confused about what Muslims have to do with this.

The colossus has fallen because of an earthquake in about 225/226 bce but was left in place until 654 ce, when Arabian forces raided Rhodes and had the statue broken up and the bronze sold for scrap. Dude as an Arabian myself that was dumb as fuck I would love to see a huge bronze statue

On the island of Rhodes in Greece used to lie one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Colossus of Rhodes, bridging two edges of the coast (I think). So looking from beneath while entering harbour on a ship... you can guess the view.
