Gorgeous illustration! Although as an architecture student, I can't help but be a bit nitpicky. This type of temple with monumental stairs and a clear axial direction is a typical Roman temple, where the rituals inside are static. Greeks, on the other hand, had to surround the temple during their religious processions and so all facades were treated almost equally the same and there were stairs on all sides (also, no monumentality whatsoever since Greeks sought equilibrium). Still, Ephesus was a late Greek polis from Asia and the external influences (a lot being Roman influences) were quite strong by then - so maybe there was a bit of Roman touch out there.

But like I said - this is gorgeous and breathtaking - and so all all your renderings of the World Wonders!
