The list comprises the seven most impressive monuments of the Ancient World, some of which barely survived to the Middle Ages.  For their builders, the Seven Wonders were a celebration of religion, mythology, art, power, and science. For us, they reflect the ability of humans to change the surrounding landscape by building massive yet beautiful structures, one of which stood the test of time to this very day. \n\n\nThe Great Pyramid of Giza \nThe Hanging Gardens of Babylon \nThe Statue of Zeus at Olympia \nThe Temple of Artemis at Ephesus \nThe Mausoleum at Halicarnassus \nThe Colossus of Rhodes \nThe Lighthouse of Alexandria

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.

Hi,\n\nThe Seven Wonders of the World (or the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World) is a widely-known list of seven remarkable constructions of classical antiquity.\n\nListed in order of their construction, the seven wonders are:\n\n1. Great Pyramid of Giza\n2550 BCE (Egyptians)\n\n2. Hanging Gardens of Babylon\n600 BCE (Babylonians)\n\n3. Statue of Zeus at Olympia\n435 BCE (ancient Greeks)\n\n4. Temple of Artemis at Ephesus\n550 BCE (ancient Greeks)\n\n5. Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus\n351 BCE (Hellenized Carians)\n\n6. Colossus of Rhodes\n292-280 BCE (Hellenistic civilization)\n\n7. Lighthouse of Alexandria\n3rd century BCE (Hellenistic civilization)\n\nOf these, the only one that has survived to the present day is the Great Pyramid of Giza. (It is also the oldest.) 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\n\nFYI\nJust to let you know, my teacher in my school taught me that "Borobudur temple" in Indonesia was also one of 7th wonders of the world which is not.

It is very cool that in our modern day world there are still parts of the are is still unexopled with many undiscovred plants and animals. I reminds me alot of Sir Colon Doyle's lost world. This must have how it been when europeans founded the amazon and reported back to europe.  I just hope they keep it nice and not let to many people go into it and explore it. Because if they they will probably destroy it or deminishing it's beauty and that would be a crying shame. I will cross my finger and watch joyfully to new developments.  With bad news around every bend it is good to hear something that will uplift my spirts.

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---
