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 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

I would say that the most important aspect of Hinduism is darsan, or to see and be seen by the god(s). This is where the statues come in to play. The statues or sculptures are a temporary vessel for the god to enter and give darsan to the worshiper. To see and be seen by the divine is the whole point of worship. \n\nThis is hard for some people to understand without indepth study.\n\nHere is a really good website that can give you more information.\n\nhttp://www.hinduwisdom.info/index.htm

Ziggurats were like modern churches...they were places of worship. They were constructed by solidly stacking layer upon layer in steps (similar to, but not the same as most pyramids). The most popular theories suggest that the Mesopotamians built these structures to get as close to their gods as possible

The temples of Ajanta & Khajuraho were made by the earlier Tantriks of India.  Tantra is a forgotten philosophy of Hinduism...and i have yet to see a greater philosophy than Tantra in any religion.\n\nThe temples if you have carving of all love-making statue and inside the temple there is no such sex symbol...there is only one shiva linga\n\nSo the Guru would ask the disciples to worship on the sex-statue outside and do not enter the temple, till they are not completely fed up with the sex\n\nThese temples denoted another psychological fact about spirituality....do not supress the Sex but transcend it\n\nperhaps that was the message of the early Tantriks toooooo

An early mosque, the Dome of the Rock (691–692) in Jerusalem, is a unique architectural monument. It follows an octagonal Byzantine plan, with a dome entirely of wood. Domed mosques, however, were not commonly built until some six centuries later. The mosque of 879 near Fustat was built by Ibn Tulun of stucco and brick and ornamented with floral reliefs in stucco.
