Those are:
Temple of Artemis (Built in Ephesus in Asia Minor in 356 bc)
Colossus of Rhodes (was built about 280 bc. Standing 30 m (100 ft) high, it was built to guard the entrance to the harbor at Rhodes)
Pharos of Alexandria(in the harbor of Alexandria and was over 134 m (440 ft) tall)
Hanging Gardens of Babylon (the gardens did not hang, but grew on the roofs and terraces of the royal palace in Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar II, the Chaldean king, probably built the gardens in about 600 bc as a consolation to his Median wife who missed the natural surroundings of her homeland)
Mausoleum of Halicarnassus (was built about 353 bc. The mausoleum was a huge marble tomb built for King Mausolus of Caria in Asia Minor)
Statue of Zeus (The Greek sculptor Phidias created the 12-m (40-ft) tall Statue of Zeus in about 435 bc)
Pyramids of Egypt (the famous pyramids located in Giza, near the city of Cairo, Egypt, are the only ones remaining nearly intact)
