The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were a list of extraordinary man-made structures from classical antiquity. πŸ›οΈ Only one survives todayβ€”the Great Pyramid of Giza. Here’s the full list with details:

  1. Great Pyramid of Giza (Egypt, ~2560 BCE) – Built as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu, it’s the oldest and largest pyramid.
  2. Hanging Gardens of Babylon (Iraq, ~600 BCE) – Legendary terraced gardens, possibly built by King Nebuchadnezzar II for his wife.
  3. Statue of Zeus at Olympia (Greece, ~435 BCE) – A 40-foot-tall gold-and-ivory statue of Zeus, destroyed in a fire.
  4. Temple of Artemis at Ephesus (Turkey, ~550 BCE) – A massive temple dedicated to the Greek goddess Artemis, burned down by Herostratus.
  5. Mausoleum at Halicarnassus (Turkey, ~353 BCE) – A grand tomb for Mausolus, a Persian satrap, which gave us the word 'mausoleum.'
  6. Colossus of Rhodes (Greece, ~280 BCE) – A giant bronze statue of the sun god Helios, destroyed by an earthquake.
  7. Lighthouse of Alexandria (Egypt, ~280 BCE) – One of the tallest man-made structures for centuries, guiding ships with fire.
