The Seven Wonders of the World \n\nThe Pyramids of Egypt are three pyramids at Giza, outside modern Cairo. The largest pyramid, built by Khufu (Cheops), a king of the fourth dynasty, had an original estimated height of 482 ft (now approximately 450 ft). The base has sides 755 ft long. It contains 2,300,000 blocks; the average weight of each is 2.5 tons. Estimated date of completion is 2680 B.C. Of all the Ancient Wonders, the pyramids alone survive.\n\nThe Hanging Gardens of Babylon were supposedly built by Nebuchadnezzar around 600 B.C. to please his queen, Amuhia. They are also associated with the mythical Assyrian queen, Semiramis. Archeologists surmise that the gardens were laid out atop a vaulted building, with provisions for raising water. The terraces were said to rise from 75 to 300 ft.\n\nThe Statue of Zeus (Jupiter) at Olympia was made of gold and ivory by the Greek sculptor Phidias (5th century B.C.). Reputed to be 40 ft high, the statue has been lost without a trace, except for reproductions on coins.\n\nThe Temple of Artemis (Diana) at Ephesus was begun about 350 B.C., in honor of a non-Hellenic goddess who later became identified with the Greek goddess of the same name. The temple, with Ionic columns 60 ft high, was destroyed by invading Goths in A.D. 262.\n\nThe Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was erected by Queen Artemisia in memory of her husband, King Mausolus of Caria in Asia Minor, who died in 353 B.C. Some remains of the structure are in the British Museum. This shrine is the source of the modern word mausoleum.\n\nThe Colossus at Rhodes was a bronze statue of Helios (Apollo), about 105 ft high. The work of the sculptor Chares, who reputedly labored for 12 years before completing it in 280 B.C., it was destroyed during an earthquake in 224 B.C.\n\nThe Pharos (Lighthouse) of Alexandria was built by Sostratus of Cnidus during the 3rd century B.C. on the island of Pharos off the coast of Egypt. It was destroyed by an earthquake in the 13th century.\n\n(Some lists include the Walls of Babylon in place of the second or seventh wonder.)\n----------------------------------------------\nThe Seven Wonders of the Modern World\n\nPeople have put together many lists of the seven ancient wonders of the world. But this "seven wonders" list celebrates monumental engineering and construction feats of the 20th century. It was chosen by the American Society of Civil Engineers.\n\n    *1. Empire State Building—Finished in 1931, it towers 1,250 feet over New York City. Until the first tower of the World Trade Center was finished in 1972, it was the world's tallest building.\n    * 2. Itaipu Dam—Built by Brazil and Paraguay on the Parana River, it is the world's largest hydroelectric power plant. Completed in 1991, it took 16 years to build this series of dams whose length totals 7,744 meters. It used 15 times more concrete than the Channel Tunnel.\n    * 3. CN Tower—In 1976, it became the world's tallest freestanding structure. It looms about one-third of a mile high (1,815 feet) above Toronto, Canada. A glass floor on the observation deck lets you look 342m down to the ground. Don't worry: the glass is strong enough to hold 14 hippos!\n    * 4. Panama Canal—It took 34 years to create this 50-mile-long canal across the Isthmus of Panama. The amount of digging required and the size of its locks helped make it the most expensive project in American history at that time-and the most deadly: About 80,000 people died during construction (most from disease).\n    * 5. Channel Tunnel—Known as the Chunnel, it links France and England. It is 31 miles long, and 23 of those miles are 150 feet beneath the seabed of the English Channel. High-speed trains whiz through its side-by-side tubes.\n    * 6. North Sea Protection Works—Because the Netherlands is below sea level, a series of dams, floodgates and surge barriers have been built to keep the sea from flooding the country during storms. The biggest part

There is no such thing as an official 8th wonder of the world.\nWay back 2200 years ago, Greek scholars compiled what they called the 7 wonders of the world.  Later, other took on the idea, and never really bothered listing the runners up, or to expand the list beyond 7.\nThe expression 8th wonder of the world is thus used (and abused) by anyone who think that something specific is just as great as the 7 listed one.\nAll in all, this is all pretty arbitrary.

Well it depends on what age you're talking about. The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were/are:\n\nMausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus\nGreat Pyramid of Giza\nTemple of Artemis at Ephesus\nHanging Gardens of Babylon\nColossus of Rhodes\nLighthouse of Alexandria\nStatue of Zeus at Olympia \n\nI'm pretty sure those are it, I might've spelled a name wrong here or there but that's the general gist of them. But there are also wonders of the modern world as well, which are:\n\nTaj Mahal\nSerengeti Migration\nGreat Wall of China\nPyramids of Giza\nGalapagos Islands\nThe Grand Canyon\nMachu Picchu \n And in King Kong the movie king kong was the 8th wonder of the world.

Here's the Wikpedia link that lists both the modern & ancient wonders of the world......\n\n http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Wonders_of_the_Modern_World

There are seven commonly accepted wonders of the ancient world; however, there are many more wonders throughout the history of the entire world.  The total number isn't agreed upon by scholars (and probably never will be), but there are many who claim certain structures as wonders of their specific time periods, including the Great Wall, Taj Majal, Hagia Sophia, and Eiffel Tower.  Some also consider certain natural structures to be wonders as well, i.e. Ayers Rock, Grand Canyon, Victoria Falls, and Carlsbad Caverns.
