17. The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
The Seven Wonders of the World or the Seven Wonders of the
Ancient World is a list of remarkable constructions of
Classical antiquity given by various authors in guidebooks or poems
popular among ancient Hellenic tourists.
the first such lists of seven wonders date from the 1st-2nd century BC. The
original list inspired innumerable versions through the ages, often listing
seven entries. Of the original Seven Wonders, only one—the Great
Pyramid of Giza- the oldest of the ancient wonders—remains relatively
intact. The Colossus of Rhodes, The Lighthouse of Alexandria, The
Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, The Temple of Artemis and the Statue of
Zeus were all . The location and ultimate fate of the Hanging
Gardens are unknown, and there is speculation that they may not have
existed at all.
