50 years ago or more, what was the seven wonders of the world?

Question

There were only seven wonders of the world in the text book in Malaysia and Singapore then, no such thing as ancient wonders nor nature wonders. I remembered that Niagara Falls, Taj Mahal, The Great Walls, Angkowat, The Pyramid were among them, but just could not remember which were the other two. Please do not give me the new versions of world wonders, they were not what I wanted to know. Thank you for your help in advance.

Answer 1

The only list I know is this one :
Great Pyramid of Giza,
Hanging Gardens of Babylon,
Statue of Zeus at Olympia,
Temple of Artemis at Ephesus,
Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus,
Colossus of Rhodes,
Lighthouse of Alexandria.

which is what I learned some 30 years ago.

Answer 2

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were: the tomb of Mausoleus at Helicarnassus; the temple of Diana (Artemis) at Ephesus, the Pharos (lighthouse) of Alexandria, the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, the Pyramids of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and the Colossus of Rhodes. Sine then other constructions and buildings have been considered: you mention Angkor Wat and the Taj Mahal. In modern times, the Houston Astrodome, the Empire State Building, Hoover Dam, and many other large, novel efforts are have claimed "eighth" status. There are "Natural Wonders of the World." These may include Angel Falls, Niagara Falls, Carlsbad Caverns, the Sahara Desert, or any other great phenomenon.
