I'm sure we must have all heard about the seven wonders of the world. Structures made during ancient times that were truly remarkable. They include :
- Great Pyramid of Giza.
- Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
- Lighthouse of Alexandria.
- Mausoleum at Harlicanassus.
- Statue of Zeus at Olympia.
- Temple of Artemis at Ephesus.
- Colussus of Rhodes.
But among these seven wonders only the Great Pyramid of Giza still exists today. The rest having been destroyed or lost with time.
