What are (or were) the seven wonders of the world?

Answer 1

Hey, you lose 5 points just for asking a question you know, that you can search on Yahoo or Google...
but here they are:

The Great Pyramid of Giza - A gigantic stone structure near the ancient city of Memphis, serving as a tomb for the Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon -
A palace with legendary gardens built on the banks of the Euphrates river by King Nebuchadnezzar II

The Statue of Zeus at Olympia - An enormous statue of the Greek father of gods, carved by the great sculptor Pheidias

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus - A beautiful temple in Asia Minor erected in honor of the Greek goddess of hunting and wild nature

The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus - A fascinating tomb constructed for King Maussollos, Persian satrap of Caria

The Colossus of Rhodes -
A colossus of Helios the sun-god, erected by the Greeks near the harbor of a Mediterranean Island

The Lighthouse of Alexandria - A lighthouse built by the Ptolemies on the island of Pharos off the coast of their capital city

Some believe there is an 8th wonder of the world, like atlantis (the long forgoten city that sunk to the bottom of the sea) or King Kong etc.

Answer 2

I believe that they are: The Great Pyramid at Giza, The Great Lighthouse and Pharsos(no longer standing), The Temple of Artemis(no longer standing), The Hanging Gardens(no longer standing), The Colossus at Rhodes(no longer standing), Temple to Zeus on Mt. Olympus(no longer standing), and I beleive either the Parthenon or the Great Wall of China. While I would hope it was the latter it is probably the former since the people decided the seven wonders show an incredible bias in favor of ancient greece. I would like to point out that Stonehenge at Salsbury plain has been proven just as old as the great pyramid and older than the colossus, the temples to zeus and artemis as well as being as old if not older than the great lighthouse and the hanging gardens. My list of the Seven great wonders of the ancient world would be: The Great Pyramid, Stonehenge, The Great Wall of China, The Great Lighthouse, Hanging Gardens, and the Aztec Pyramids at what is now Mexico City. I would like to see the archeaological community take a new look at the listing and compile a new list that would recognize all ancient cultures that built something incredible.
