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

Pyramid-shaped structures were built by many ancient civilizations. The most famous are the Egyptian pyramids — huge pyramids built of brick or stone. Standard Archaeology claims that they were used as tombs for pharaohs, however their many surprising features have birthed many alternative theories, particularly since the great pyramids have never yielded a body. The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the largest in Egypt and in the world. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and the only one of the seven to survive into modern times. The ancient Egyptians capped the peaks of their pyramids with gold and covered their faces with polished white limestone, though many of the stones used for the purpose have fallen or been removed for other structures over the millennia.\n\nTo the south of Egypt the Nubians also built pyramids. They built far more than the Egyptians, but they are much smaller. The Nubian pyramids were constructed at a much steeper angle than Egyptian ones and were not tombs, but monuments to dead kings. Pyramids were built in Nubia up until the AD 300s.\n\nThe Mesopotamians also built step pyramids, or ziggurats. In ancient times these were brightly painted. Since they were constructed of mud-brick, little remains of them. The biblical Tower of Babel is believed to be a Babylonian ziggurat.\n\nA number of Mesoamerican cultures also built pyramid-shaped structures. Mesoamerican pyramids were also usually stepped, with temples on top, more similar to the Mesopotamian ziggurat than the Egyptian pyramid. The largest pyramid by volume is the Great Pyramid of Cholula, in the Mexican state of Puebla. This pyramid is also considered the largest monument ever constructed anywhere in the world, but it is still being excavated. There is an unusual pyramid with a circular plan at the site of Cuilcuilco, now inside Mexico City and mostly covered with lava from an ancient eruption of Xictli.\n\nPyramids in Mexico were considered sacrificial places (used to kill slaves, in worship of their powerful gods).\n\nThere are other pyramid-shaped ancient monuments found in parts of Georgia.\n\nThere is a pyramid in ancient Rome. The 27-meter-high Pyramid of Cestius was built by the end of the first century BC and still exists today, close to the Porta San Paolo.\n\nThere are quite a few flat-top pyramids in China. The First Emperor of Qin (221 B.C.~), with the terracotta warriors in vicinity, was buried under a large pyramid outside modern day Xi'an. In the following centuries a dozen more Chinese royalties of Han Dynasty were also buried under flat top pyramidal earth works.

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.

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
