The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, with the Pharos of Alexandria, is medieval in origin. Antipater's list had the walls of Babylon rather than the lighthouse. In alphabetical order, they are:\n\n1. Colossus of Rhodes — a huge statue of Helios, sculpted c. 292–280 BC by Chures, in present Greece. \n\n2. Hanging Gardens of Babylon — built by Nebuchadnezzar II, c. 8th–6th century BC, in present Iraq. \n\n3. Mausoleum of Halicarnassus — tomb of Mausolus, the Persian satrap of Caria, built c. 353–351 BC, at Halicarnassus, present Bodrum, Turkey. \n\n4. Pharos of Alexandria — lighthouse built c. 270 BC on Pharos island near Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy II by Greek architect Sostratus, in present Egypt. \n\n5. Pyramids of Giza — serving as tombs for the Egyptian pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, in present Egypt. Built during Egypt's 4th dynasty (c. 2575–ca 2465 BC) \n\n6. Statue of Zeus — at Olympia, carved by the Greek sculptor Phidias, c. 457 BC in present Greece. \n\n7. Temple of Artemis — 550 BC, at Ephesus, present Turkey. \n\n\nTwo of each of the wonders were within the territories of today's Egypt, Greece, and Turkey, and one in Iraq. The only surviving wonder is the first built, the Pyramids of Giza. The wonder with the shortest life span was the Colossus of Rhodes, which kept its erect posture for only 56 years before being brought down by an earthquake. There is some controversy as to whether the Hanging Gardens of Babylon ever in fact existed.\n\n---\nWelcome to y! answers. \nDo rate answers if you like them!\nHappy Asking!\n---

The Seven Wonders of the World (or the Seven Wonders of the \nThere are many versions of the list - ancient, modern, natural.\n\nAncient World) is a widely-known list of seven remarkable constructions of classical antiquity. The earliest known version of the list was compiled in the 2nd century BC by Antipater of Sidon; it appears to be based on the guide-books popular among Hellenic sight-seers and only includes works located around the Mediterranean rim.\n\nListed in order of their construction, the seven wonders are:\n\nWonder Date Builder Destroyed Cause \nGreat Pyramid of Giza 2550 BC Egyptians - - \nHanging Gardens of Babylon 600 BC Babylonians  ? earthquake \nTemple of Artemis at Ephesus 550 BC Anatolians BC 356 fire \nStatue of Zeus at Olympia 435 BC Greeks  ? fire \nMausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus 351 BC Hellenized Carians  ? earthquake \nColossus of Rhodes 292-280 BC Hellenistic civilization BC 224 earthquake \nLighthouse of Alexandria 3rd century BC Hellenistic civilization  ? earthquake \n\nAntipater's original list replaced the Lighthouse of Alexandria with the Walls of Babylon. It wasn't until the 6th century AD that the list above was used. Of these wonders, the only one that has survived to the present day is the Great Pyramid of Giza. The existence of the Hanging Gardens has not been definitively proven. Records show that the other five wonders were destroyed by natural disasters. The Temple of Artemis and the Statue of Zeus were destroyed by fire, while the Lighthouse of Alexandria, Colossus, and Mausoleum of Maussollos, were destroyed by earthquakes.\n\nA curious piece of trivia about the Seven Wonders is that all the sites of the seven wonders were located in the Ottoman Empire at one time or another.\n\n[edit]\nMore recent lists\nIn the tradition of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, many other lists of wonders have been proposed, including both human feats of engineering and wonders of nature. However, these lists are rather informal, and there is no consensus on any particular list.\n\n[edit]\nModern wonders\nThe following list of the top seven existing wonders was compiled by Hillman Wonders:[1]\n\nGreat Pyramid of Giza \nGreat Wall of China \nTaj Mahal \nSerengeti Migration \nGalapagos \nGrand Canyon \nMachu Picchu \nThe American Society of Civil Engineers compiled another list of wonders of the modern world:\n\nChannel Tunnel \nCN Tower \nEmpire State Building \nGolden Gate Bridge \nItaipu Dam \nNetherlands' Tidal Defences - delta works \nPanama Canal \n[edit]\nNatural wonders\nSimilar to the other lists of wonders, there is no consensus on a list of seven natural wonders of the world, as there has been debate over how large the list should be. One of the many lists was compiled by CNN [2]:\n\nGrand Canyon \nGreat Barrier Reef \nHarbor of Rio de Janeiro \nMount Everest \nNorthern Lights \nParicutín volcano \nVictoria Falls \n[edit]\nUnderwater wonders\nThis list of underwater wonders is of unknown origin but has been repeated sufficiently often to acquire a degree of notability:[3] [4]\n\nPalau \nBelize Barrier Reef \nGreat Barrier Reef \nDeep-Sea Vents \nGalapagos Islands \nLake Baikal \nNorthern Red Sea \n[edit]\nAlternative list\nThe New 7 Wonders foundation has launched a poll to decide another new list of 7 Wonders, with 21 sites on its shortlist, as follows[5]:\n\nAcropolis (Athens, Greece) \nAlhambra (Granada, Spain) \nAngkor (Cambodia) \nChichen Itza (Yucatán, Mexico) \nChrist Redeemer (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) \nColosseum (Rome, Italy) \nEaster Island Statues (Chile) \nEiffel Tower (Paris, France) \nGreat Wall (China) \nHagia Sophia (Istanbul, Turkey) \nKremlin (Moscow, Russia) \n Kiyomizu Temple (Kyoto, Japan) \nMachu Picchu (Peru) \nNeuschwanstein Castle (Füssen, Germany) \nPetra (Jordan) \nPyramids of Giza (Egypt) \nStatue of Liberty (New York, United States) \nStonehenge (Amesbury, United Kingdom) \nSydney Opera House (Australia) \nTaj Mahal (Agra, India) \nTim
