One of the grandest structures ever built could be reborn in Greece

Until an earthquake in 226 BCE knocked it down, the Colossus of Rhodes, a 30-metre-high iron and bronze statue of the Greek god Helios, sat near the harbour of Rhodes, Greece, for 54 years.

Now, a plan put forth by a small team of scientists seeks to rebuild the ancient statue and boost tourism and local jobs in the process.

Do you want the estimated cost or the revised estimated cost when work stops half way through due to lack of funds?

Or perhaps the agreement will be payment on completion to architect's original plan  :iroll:
