Pharos Alexandreias needs clarification as to who exactly is intended to get the benefit. Once I know that I'll fix it.

Morale bonus to troops trained here: +1 (Hellenic only)\n\nThe Mausoleion of Halikarnassos\n\nWhen the Persians expanded their ancient kingdom to include Mesopotamia, Northern India, Syria, Egypt, and Asia Minor, the king could not control his vast empire without the help of local governors or rulers known as satraps. One of these satraps was King Mausolos of Karia. Although he led an uneventful life, his death led to the construction of one of the most beautiful buildings in the ancient world and was carried out by his sister-wife.\n\nThe beauty of the Mausoleion was not only in the structure itself but in the life-sized decorations and statues adorning the tomb, as well as larger-than-life and free-standing statues of people, lions, horses, and other animals. The statues were carved by four famous and talented Greek sculptors: Bryaxis, Leochares, Skopas, and Timotheus. Each was responsible for a single side. The Mausoleion holds a special place in history as it was not dedicated to the gods of the ancient Greeks, yet it attracted visitors for centuries.

However, none of the rest were so well preserved nor quite so large. For this reason it impressed and confused those who happened to control the land around it.\n\nThe original purpose of Stonehenge is unknown. It was not a Celtic structure, but the Druidae held rituals there. Likewise, Romans observed religious festivals around the henge. It was an open air temple for the Britons, and likely one of their most important. Worship at Stonehenge was not limited to a specific deity. The Britons honored many gods, somewhat like a Celtic pantheon.\n\nThousands of statuettes, weapons, pieces of armor, and other small relics are buried in the soil around the henge in a very methodic manner. They include both British and Roman items.

Public order bonus due to happiness: 5% (? only)\n\nThe Lighthouse of Alexandreia\n\nThe island of Pharos in the bay of Alexandreia was home to the most famous lighthouse in the history of the world. According to Strabo(1), Sostratos of Knidos built and completed it just prior to Europa Barbarorum’s start. Sentries kept beacon-fires lit throughout the night to assist seafarers, but the lighthouse also served as a sign of the capabilities, wealth, and power of the Ptolemies.\n\nPtolemaios Soter authorized construction of the lighthouse, but it was completed during the reign of Ptolemaios II. His successor dedicated it to Ptolemaios Soter and his wife Bernike, his parents and, now deceased, gods. Although it was once said to be four hundred feet tall, numerous earthquakes over the millennia have reduced it to almost nothingness. Today there is nothing left of it save rubble in the nearby harbor and stones reused in successive forts built upon the same spot. It became known as one of the canonical Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.\n\n(1) Strabo 17.1.6

{base2_roman} Temple of Baalbek\n(TRANSLATE ME PLEASE!)
{base2_roman_desc}
Temple of Baalbek\n\n Baal Hammon and Helios were worshipped by Phoenicians and Greeks at this magnificent temple complex in a place called Heliopolis, “the City of the Sun.” Its massive edifice and lofty colonnades soared beneath the scorching Syrian sun to honor the great god of the sky. Priests of Ra could be found there as well, for their god was also revered at the complex.\n\nThe Phoenicians, and later the Seleucid and Ptolemaic kings, expanded the complex with massive buildings carved with reliefs in honor of these magnificent deities. The many altars found throughout the complex bore the sacrifice of many bulls performed by Phoenician and Greek priests.
