More than two thousand years after the original Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was destroyed in an earthquake, a group of architects wants to build a 21st-century version of it.

The project calls for a 492-foot statue in Rhodes, Greece, that straddles the harbor and houses a library, cultural center, and lighthouse. 

A video animation of the design looks like something straight out of "Game of Thrones."
