Enjoy.

Answer 2

The Seven Wonders of the World were:

The Pyramids in Egypt
The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus (south of Izmir in Turkey)
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon (Near Baghdad)
The Colossus of Rhodes (Greece)
The Lighthouse at Alexandria, Egypt
The Olympian Zeus in Greece
The Great Temple of Artemisa in Ephesus (also south of Izmir).

These were the original 7 Wonders of the Ancient World...
The only one that has survived through the centuries is the Pyramids, the rest are gone, destroyed by earthquakes or Vandals.

There is a quest now to name the 7 Wonders of the Modern World...
And there are several lists of the wonders of the world that add more than the original seven as there are other marvelous man-made wonders that the ancient greeks (who made the first list) did not know of...
Such as the Moai Statues of Easter Island, Machu Pichu in Peru, Tikal in Guatemala, The city of Petra in Jordan, Stonehenge in England, and many more...

There is a list of the 7 Natural Wonders:
The Grand Canyon U.S.A.
Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe Africa
Mount Everest in Nepal
Great Barrier Reef in Australia
The Northern Lights (Northern Hemisphere near the Arctic)
Paricutin Volcano in Mexico
The Harbour at Rio de Janeiro Brazil.

I have never seen a list that included Niagara Falls...(but that doesn't mean that there might not be one!)

The Seven Wonders
Listed in order of their construction, the seven wonders are:

Wonder Date Builder Destroyed Cause
Great Pyramid of Giza 2550 BC Egyptians n/a n/a
Hanging Gardens of Babylon 600 BC Babylonians ? earthquake
Temple of Artemis at Ephesus 550 BC Anatolians 356 BC fire
Statue of Zeus at Olympia 435 BC Greeks ? fire
Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus 351 BC Hellenized Carians ? earthquake
Colossus of Rhodes 292-280 BC Hellenistic civilization 224 BC earthquake
Lighthouse of Alexandria 3rd century BC Hellenistic civilization ? earthquake

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.

More recent lists
In 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.

Modern wonders
The American Society of Civil Engineers compiled another list of wonders of the modern world:

Channel Tunnel
CN Tower
Empire State Building
Golden Gate Bridge
Itaipu Dam
Netherlands' Tidal Defences - delta works
Panama Canal

Tourist travel wonders
The following list of the top seven existing tourist travel wonders was compiled by Hillman Wonders:[1]

Great Pyramid of Giza
Great Wall of China
Taj Mahal
Serengeti Migration
Galapagos
Grand Canyon
Machu Picchu

Natural wonders
Similar 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]:

Grand Canyon
Great Barrier Reef
Harbor of Rio de Janeiro
Mount Everest
Northern Lights
Paricutín volcano
Victoria Falls

Underwater wonders
This list of underwater wonders is of unknown origin but has been repeated sufficiently often to acquire a degree of notability:[3] [4]

Palau
Belize Barrier Reef
Great Barrier Reef
Deep-Sea Vents
Galapagos Islands
Lake Baikal
Northern Red Sea
