Answer 3

I have no idea why I am answering this question when everyone else has, and has done a wicked good job at it.

So I am giving my list of what I think the Seven Wonders Of The World should be.

(1) The Acropolis of Athens. I have been there, and remember wandering around with my mouth hanging open, gazing all about me with awe, and trying to picture the wise Athenians who strode it's floors so many years ago.

(2) The Roman Colosseum. An ancient edifice which makes me think of the unfortunate souls being killed there and the crowds cheering on the suffering....

(3) The Eiffel Tower in Paris. When you think Paris, the Eiffel Tower is usually the first thing that pops to mind.

(4) The Great Wall Of China, Think of all the ancient manpower, and all of the the time that went into the building of this.....

(5) The Statue Of Liberty. Just as The Eiffel Tower is the symbol of Paris. The Statue Of Liberty is the symbol of Freedom. My Irish- great-grandparents told stories about how deeply they felt upon seeing her for the first time.

(6) The Statues Of Easter Island. I was always fascinated by these, and I dearly wish I knew their history. Who put them up, and why.

(7) The Taj Mahal-A symbol of a man's love for his wife...enough said.

There. Grin, thanks Mofo, for the two points, and for the chance to allow my mind to drift about, and think about the wonders of this planet we call home.

Answer 4

Well, let me see if I can remember all of them...
I know there are seven wonders of what is called the "ancient" world:
(I'm not exactly sure of the spelling of some of these)
The Great Pyramid of Gaza
The Babylon Gardens
The Statue of Zeus
The Temple of Artemis
The Mausaleum of Halicarnassus
The Lighthouse at Alexandria
TheColossus of Rhodes

And you want the man-made wonders?
Ok, I'm really guessing here...
The Great Pyramids inEgypt
Hagia Sophia ofTurkey)
Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy
Washington Monument in Washington U.S.
Eiffel Tower in Paris, France
Taj Mahal in India
Empire State Building in New York, U.S.

I don't think they're all correct but, that's my guess.

The Wonders of the Modern World:

* Channel Tunnel beneath the English Channel
* CN Tower in Toronto
* Empire State Building
* Golden Gate Bridge
* Itaipu Dam between Brazil and Paraguay
* Delta Works, Netherlands
* Panama Canal

Now you want the seven "natural" wonders?
Oh brother...let me see....

The Grand Canyon
Iguazú Falls (Argentina)
Yosemite Valley's Giant Sequoias
Mount Everest
The Harbor of Rio de Janeiro
The Nile River
The Aaurora Borealis-the northern lights
Niagara Falls
Rainbow Natural Bridge in the U.S.
The Petrified Forest

That's it, I can't think of any more, bet I missed some.

Answer 6

The Seven Wonders of the World (or the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World) is a widely known list of seven popular sites of classical antiquity. The list was largely a tourist guide for travelers of the ancient world who wanted to see the most famous and well known sight-seeing destinations.
History
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 where sight-seers could typically travel safely. The Seven Wonders were wonders because they were among the most popular destinations; even as early as 1600 BC, tourist graffiti was scrawled on monuments in the Egyptian Valley of the Kings (by which time the Great Sphinx of Giza was already a thousand years old). It is notable that the Seven Wonders sites were all man-made; no natural features were included since they were not popular destinations. With the industrial revolution's impact on the environment and the resulting naturalism of the Romanticism movement, natural features have become tourist destinations in and of themselves and as such new "Seven Wonders" lists have been created that incorporate natural features.


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 after 1st century BC earthquake
Temple of Artemis at Ephesus 550 BC Lydians, Greeks 356 BC fire
Statue of Zeus at Olympia 435 BC Greeks 5th-6th centuries AD fire
Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus 351 BC Carians, Greeks by 1494 AD earthquake
Colossus of Rhodes 292-280 BC Hellenistic Greece 224 BC earthquake
Lighthouse of Alexandria 3rd century BC Hellenistic Egypt 1303-1480 AD 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.

Answer 7

In chronological order:

The Great Pyramid of Giza
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
The Colossus of Rhodes
The Lighthouse of Alexandria

. . . but perhaps you mean those later pretenders instead.

Answer 8

I read this somewhere, it was written by a 7 year girl, when her teacher asked the class to list the seven wonders of the world. She Wrote:
To See
To Hear
To Taste
To Smell
To Feel
To Touch
To Love and be Loved.
And the wisdom of that child is absolutely correct!
The Teacher and class were Speechless.
