1) the pyramid of giza in egypt
2) the temple of artemis
3) the statue of zeus
4) the colossus of rhodes
5) the pharos of alexandria
6) the mausoluem
7) the hanging gardens of babylon
8) the colosseum ( might want to check the spelling on that one)


Vin

PS some people make a case for the library of alexandria and most leave it out because it was destroyed in a fire but before it was the respository of the ancient world's knowledge in the west and middle east.

That was my thought too: Ancient or Modern world?
I see you've already been given both lists.
I think a case can be made for adding the Crazy Horse monument to the list as it gets closer to being completed. (compare the scale to Mt. Rushmore. It's quite impressive.

Quaking Aspen Groves of Utah. They are the largest living things on this planet, each and every tree is connected by the same root, so the trees just grow out of another tree's roots. Cool huh?
