a                            innnnnnn  t th                              e very beginning of
every                                           advanced                               society
           one finds something      the Sunday                                     Funnies used to
be the                         cutting edge;
The Colossus of Rhodes        /roʊdz/ (Ancient Greek:      ὁ Κολοσσὸς Ῥόδιος,
                  transliteration.                  ** Kolossòs            Rhódios) was a          statue of the Greek sun-god                      Helios,      designed in part    by the world      renown                     genius
     engineer                Archemides    , gigantic L e B ron man straddling  to be      erected             as a m sentinel     to guard      over   in the to look o city of  
   Rhodes,              on the Greek i            sland           of the same name, by Chares
         of Lindos        in 280 BC.       One of the            Inana              bronze        Seven Wonders of   the
nnnnnnnnnnn                         /    Ancient World,     /     originally of the seven veils     designed                       to a mechanical man;    
               it was constructed      to celebrate            Rhodes' victory over Cyprus
  & Antigonus I                               Monophthalmus,               whose son then           unsuccessfully
n               attacke        d                        Rhodes in 305 BC.
                        that looks like a comic;
     they end
book; pictographs give                  graphic novels are read more closely
                       than actual news  
                     ;newspapers;                       all lie in social decline
              way to hieroglyphs         (mythic                    monuments told tales;                                      &                "Mother of the Sun,     Theia
                   of many names,            for your sake men             honor gold as more powerful       than anything else; and                 through the         value you best             ow on them,                             o queen,                        ships contending on the sea
               and yoked               teams of horses                       in swift-whirling contests                               become marvels."
                      soon we'll all know                        Chinese.                  the Colossus stood 100 feet high—                    approximate
height                                  of the modern                              Statue of Liberty
        from feet to crown;                which was  originally           designed    as  a massive naked                woman representing Liberty;
