First of all, there are only Seven Wonders of the World. Here they 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.

There are 7 wonders of the ancient world and, as of yet, no official 7 wonders of the modern world, although there are a number of various possibilities/candidates. No official 8th wonder of the world either.
