what are the seven wonders of the world?

Question

the natural wonders

Answer 1

Nobody seems to have noticed that you asked for "natural wonders"

I would have said that Niagara Falls and Ayers rock (Uluru) would have to be included in any list of natural wonders as would the Grand Canyon.

This site only includes (from my selection) the Grand Canyon:


Mount Everest in Nepal

Victoria Falls in Zambia/Zimbabwe

Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA

Great Barrier Reef in Australia

Northern Lights

Paricutin volcano in Mexico

Harbor of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil


The second site gives this list:
(They exceed 7 so take your pick)

Angel Falls in Venezuela
The Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, Canada
The Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA
The Great Barrier Reef in Australia
Iguassu Falls in Brazil/Argentina
Krakatoa Island in Indonesia
Mount Everest in Nepal
Mount Fuji in Japan
Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania
Niagara Falls in Ontario (Canada) and New York State (USA)
Paricutin Volcano in Mexico
Victoria Falls in Zambia/Zimbabwe

Answer 2

Do you mean Ancient or Modern?

If you are asking about ancient, they are:

1. The Great Pyramid of Giza
2. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
3. The Statue of Zeus
4. The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
5. The Mausoleum of Maussollos at Hailcarnassus
6. The Colossus of Rhodes
7. The Lighthouse of Alexandria

Some say the 7 Modern Wonders are:

1. The Channel Tunnel
2. CN Tower
3. The Empire State Building
4. The Golden Gate Bridge
5. Itaipu Dam
6. Netherlands North Sea Protection Works
7. Panama Canal

You might disagree with this list, I know I do ;-)

Answer 3

Although most people know that a list exists of the Seven World Wonders, only few can name them. The list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World was originally compiled around the second century BC. The first reference to the idea is found in History of Herodotus as long ago as the 5th century BC. Decades later, Greek historians wrote about the greatest monuments at the time. Callimachus of Cyrene (305BC-240BC), Chief Librarian of the Alexandria Mouseion, wrote "A Collection of Wonders around the World". All we know about the collection is its title, for it was destroyed with the Alexandria Library.

The final list of the Seven Wonders was compiled during the Middle Ages. The list comprised the seven most impressive monuments of the Ancient World, some of which barely survived to the Middle Ages. Others did not even co-exist. Among the oldest references to the canonical list are the engravings by the Dutch artist Maerten van Heemskerck (1498-1574), and Johann Fischer von Erlach's History of Architecture.

Today, archaeological evidence reveals some of the mysteries that surrounded the history of the Wonders for centuries. For their builders, the Seven Wonders were a celebration of religion, mythology, art, power, and science. For us, they reflect the ability of humans to change the surrounding land
