What a question! You didn't say whether you wanted Natural, Ancient, or Modern. OK, so I thought of doing a search as others have done, but there is so much information about these facts and their backgrounds, I thought you might like to see all the results. Even casting your own vote for today's marvels. So here is the search for them.. Just click on it and you will be awed as I was.

Have fun, I did! (And still am!)
