Don’t like to start the day with a bit of pedantry, but when the Sun engages in pot-calling-the-kettle-blackery, I simply can’t resist … the incipit of a piece therein:
A QUARTER of clueless Brit holidaymakers claim to have visited historic Wonders of the World … which don’t even exist.
Top porkies include sightseeing at the Colossus of Rhodes, which was destroyed in 226 BC, and the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, ordered to be destroyed by Roman Emperor Caligula in the Fifth Century.

… I guess for rags like the Sun, Caligula will live on and on in their hearts forever … or maybe someone just read the Wikipedia article a bit too quickly …
