Maybe something like the temple of Artemis or the temple of Zeus. How much time would it take with modern equipment?

Consider the relative size of the Parthenon to say a modern NFL football stadium. An NFL stadium takes about 4-5 years to bulid, has cantilevered sections, is full of miles of electronic wiring, can enclose itself, and in the case of the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium opening in 2009, will be the largest stadium ever built, seating over 100,000. The footprint is about a quarter of a mile long. The estimated cost will come in at over a billion dollars.
The Parthenon, by contrast, took approximately 10 years to build, and measured a whopping 228 feet by 101 feet. A local construction crew could knock that out pretty quick, using modern tooling, prefabrication techniques, and load bearing cranes to replace the slave labor. 6 months tops, and most of the cost in materials.

Not much at all because what they used is primitive to us now and we have evolved and use different materials.
Because of that, the old materials would be cheaper.

imo

it would take a great deal of time because non of it is manufactured...the cost would be in the 10's of millions at minimum.
