The 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. 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\nthe Great Pyramid of Giza \nthe Hanging Gardens of Babylon \nthe Statue of Zeus at Olympia \nthe Temple of Artemis at Ephesus \nthe Mausoleum of Maussollos 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.

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
