Here are some more information for Moonlight Ivory:
The 'Seven Ancient Wonders' were the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Hanging Gardens at Babylon, the statue of Zeus at Olympia, the mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Lighthouse at Alexandria and finally the temple at Ephesus in Asia Minor.
The Anatolian Temple at Ephesus, near the modern city of Izmir in Turkey, was one of the most beautiful architectural structures ever built. It was originally constructed in the 7th century under the patronage of the immensely rich Lydian king, Croesus: pronounced Creesus. The marble temple was built in honor of the Greek goddess of hunting, nature, and fertility Artemis. The interior of the temple was lavishly furnished with bronze and silver statues, sculpted by the most skilled artists of their time: Pheidias, Polycleitus, Kresilas, and Phradmon.
Croesus' intentions behind the building of the temple were not only related to the Goddess Artemis herself, already known to the Anatolians as Cybele, but also to strengthen ties between his Lydian kingdom and the expanding Greek empire. Both countries were rich; Lydia from the wealth of electrum in the Paktolas River and the Silver laden Tarsus Mountains and Greece from the Laurian Silver mines on which the building of Athens was founded. Furthermore, under the reign of Croesus the first coin, the Lydian Trite, used as monetary exchange was introduced, an idea the king shared with the Greek Solon who later formed the weight standards for the Athenian silver drachmas.
The temple of Artemis, much like the Agora in Athens, was used both as a place of religious worship and a marketplace. It was tradition at this time to share wealth with the gods, so the temple itself was strategically placed at the end of the royal trade routes that stretched all the way from southeastern Europe to the Indus valley and beyond in India. King, Queen, Merchant and Tourist pilgrims came from the far reaches of the Earth to pay homage to the goddess Artemis, and recent archeological excavations have shown evidence of artifacts from as far as Persia and India. These included precious metal and ivory statuettes, and gold and silver jewelry adorned with precious and semi-precious gemstones such as sapphire, garnet and lapis lazuli.
The healthy political and financial climate between Lydia and Greece deepened the already existing association between Artemis, or Cybele, the Moon and Silver. Artemis was of the 'Silver Age' of Olympian goddesses; she was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo. A symbol of fertility, and also mysteriously virgin, she was often depicted riding a silver chariot through the night sky, shooting arrows of silver moonlight to Earth below. She was the goddess of wild animals and was believed to roam mountains and forests with her nymphs hunting deers, lions and panthers killing them softly with her silver bow and arrows.
Artemis was a friend to mortals, dancing through the countryside in silver sandals and giving her divine protection to wild beasts and the very young. Greeks sometimes called her Cynthia after her birthplace on Mt. Kynthos on Delos. In the Odyssey (15.403) Odysseus is told a story of a wondrous island, Syria, where neither hunger nor old age exists. When the inhabitants of this island had reached the end of their lives as decreed by the Fates, Artemis and Apollo would fly down and painlessly kill them with their silver bows.
On the night of 21 July 356 BC, a man named Herostratus burned the temple to ground in an attempt to immortalize his name, that same night in Macedonia Alexander the Great was born. Plutarch the Greek historian wrote later: 'Artemis was too busy taking care of the birth of Alexander and couldn't send help to her threatened temple'. A few years later 'en route' to conquer the world, Alexander the Great offered to rebuild the destroyed temple, but Artemis' temple wasn't rebuilt until after his death in 323 BC. Surviving ensuing occupations by Romans and Goths, the temple eventually fell to Christianity when in 401 A.D. St John Chrysostom ordered the temple to be torn down

LG Shine: a Ray of Moonlight
When Diana reigns the skies at night, she bathes each element in its light. Rays of silver dye it all – creeks, meadows, and trees. Even clouds that dare impede her glory stand drenched in raining ivory. The ethereal sight seems diaphanous – transparent yet concealing. LG's KE 970 salutes the glory of the moon. It emulates the signature sparkle and shine, and is thus, acclaimed LG Shine.
LG KE970 belongs to the league of LG's Shine phones. The handset exudes an enthralling shine, lambent in character. The screen casts a mirror effect in disuse. The case is made of stainless steel. The handset resembles a pocket mirror and is designed for modish or upmarket women. LG Shine is a slider phone. The keypad is located behind the covering frame of the handset. The frontal surface flaunts a roll bar navigation control. It is a designing innovation and serves to ease navigation through scrolling.
The screen of the LG Shine phone is large, 2.2 inches to be precise. The TFT display is loaded with 256K colours. It exudes a resolution of 240x320 pixels. The screen's size and resolution are important in determining the quality of images captured from the 2 mega pixel in-built camera. They enhance the effect of videos run on the mobile.
LG Shine offers messaging options aplenty. It supports SMS, EMS, MMS, and Email. It facilitates internet browsing using WAP and XHTML browsers. USB and Bluetooth enable sharing of data. GPRS influences the rate (speed/time) of data exchange. Tri-band technology provides consistent connectivity.
The LG Shine phone accords entertainment in the form of music and games. The Music Player can run songs in a variety of formats. Users are free to set MP3 and Polyphonic tunes as ringtones. Java and other games are embedded in the phone. More games can be added to the existing list.
This piece of divine beauty stands perfectly for a ladies mobile. If you have it you'd shine out.
