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.

One was the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and then there was a statue of Zeus, and I think that was in Alexandria, but I don't remember anymore, and quite frankly, I'm not sure why they are referred to as "wonders." I don't think any exist anymore today so we only know what they looked like through stories...

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---
