Hi Majida!
Let me set teh paramters first before answering your question.
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.
Having said that, the seven wonders of the world are:
Great Pyramid of Giza 2550 BC
Hanging Gardens of Babylon 600 BC
Temple of Artemis at Ephesus 550 BC
Statue of Zeus at Olympia 435 BC
Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus 351 BC
Colossus of Rhodes 292-280 BC
Lighthouse of Alexandria
Antipater'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.
A 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.
I hope thsi helps you.
