Answer 1

Did you know that there are multiple "Seven Wonders" lists?

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World are (1) Great Pyramid of Giza; (2) Hanging Gardens of Babylon; (3) Temple of Artemis at Ephesus; (4) Statue of Zeus at Olympia; (5) Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus; (6) Colossus of Rhodes; and (7) Lighthouse of Alexandria. The only one of these you can see is the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt; the rest have been destroyed.

The Seven Wonders of the Medieval World are (1) Stonehedge in England; (2) Colosseum in Rome; (3) Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa in Alexandria, Egypt; (4) Great Wall of China; (5) Porcelain Tower of Nanjing in China; (6) Hagia Sophia in Istanbul; and (7) Leaning Tower of Piza in Italy. The Taj Mahal isn't actually on this list, though many people think it is. You can see all of these.

The Seven Wonders of the Modern World are (1) Channel Tunnel at the Strait of Dover in Europe; (2) CN Tower in Canada; (3) Empire State Building in New York; (4) Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco; (5) Itaipu Dam in South America; (6) Delta Works in Netherlands; and (7) Panama Canal in Panama. You can see all these too.

The Seven Wonders of the Natural World are (1) Grand Canyon in Arizona; (2) Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia; (3) Harbor of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil; (4) Mount Everest at the border of Nepal and China; (5) Polar Aurora, which you can see from Alaska; (6) Parícutin volcano in Mexico; and (7) Victoria Falls in Zambia. You can see all these too.

In 2006, a new list of wonders was created. This one is just called the Eight Wonders of the World. They are (1) Potala Palace in Tibet; (2) Old City of Jerusalem; (3) Polar Ice Caps in Iceland; (4) Hawaiian National Marine Monument in Honolulu; (5) the Internet; (6) Mayan Pyramids of Chichen Itza in Mexico; (7) The Serengeti and Masai Mara Plains (Site of the Great Migration) in Kenya; and (8) Grand Canyon in Arizona. You can see all these too.

Now, there is also the list of what most people THINK are the Seven Wonders. This is really a list of the top seven tourist destinations. They are (1) Great Pyramids of Giza; (2) Great Wall of China; (3) Taj Mahal; (4) Serengeti; (5) Galapagos Islands; (6) Grand Canyon; and (7) Macchu Piccu in Peru.

Best of luck in your travels!

Answer 2

Stonehenge and its landscape, including Woodhenge and the virtually invisible Durrington Walls. These, and other constructions, Robin Hood's Ball, Wilsford Shaft and innumerable long and later round barrows scatter the plain, a sacred place for over two thousand years starting about five thousand years ago. Surprisingly it was important a long time before round ditches were dug or stones erected as shown by the large wooden poles erected in what is now the car park. Another claim to fame is the closeness - a day's walk - of Stonehenge and that other famous stone circle, Avebury. This much larger, partially restored, open stone circle was later built into and used for the surrounding village, which makes it visitor friendly ,though the crowds of visitors may try the patience of the locals. It, also is part of s sacred complex of monuments, including Silbury and Windmill Hills ( not the same, the former is 'man-made') and West Kennet long barrow. These two, close ancient sacred landscapes make up a monument of world importance - and they are still visible and accessible! The original importance of this part of Wessex, the ease with which visitors may enjoy the ambiance and walk among, or near these ancient stones, the importance of the surrounding landscapes all make this one of the most important prehistoric places of the world.
