Question

Well, i had 30 questions on these but couldn't find 5of them I have spent at least an hour trying to find the answers to these five and found nothing. If possible please put down website where you got the answer from. Please help I'm so frustrated.

1) When were most of the 7 wonders of the ancient world built?

2)What inspired people to build these structures?

3) Which wonder survived for the shortest length of time and what destroyed it?

4) What great body of water were most of the wonders located near?

5)What other man-made structures, built in ancient times, might also be considered wonders? List four

I guess I'm really having a hard time with this is because the questions are really general like questions 1,2,4,5
