Seven Wonders of World

Seven Wonders of the Ancient World

The classic seven wonders were:

•             Great Pyramid of Giza

•             Hanging Gardens of Babylon

•             Statue of Zeus at Olympia

•             Temple of Artemis at Ephesus

•             Mausoleum at Halicarnassus

•             Colossus of Rhodes

•             Lighthouse of Alexandria

New 7 Wonders

Egyptians were not happy that the only surviving original wonder, the Great Pyramid of Giza, would have to compete with the likes of the Statue of Liberty, the Sydney Opera House, and other landmarks, calling the project absurd. In response, Giza was named an honorary Candidate.
