King Mausolus was a ruler of a small kingdom in Asia
Minor. He was married to Artemisia, who loved him dearly. When the king
died, his wife decided to build her husband the most magnificent tomb in
the world. And she did.
The tomb was called the Mausoleum at
Halicarnassus. It was so splendid that the Greeks selected the tomb to be
one of the seven wonder of the world.
