In todays time people contuinously make mistakes on the wonders of the world, because there are acenit wonders of the world and natural wounders of the world. the seven ancenit wounders of the world are: Pyramids Of Giza, Lighthouse Of Alexandria, Colossus of Rhodes, The Mausoleum of Maussollos, The Statue of Zeuse, The Temple of Artemis, and The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. All of these wounderous sturces were built in 315 BC to 3rd centrey BC. the wounders where all built by human beins in diffrent locations such as the pyrimids were built in Egypt, the hanging gardens whe built by babalonians, tthe temple of Atemis at Ephesus were built by Anatolians, the Staue of Zesus was built by the greeks, the Mausoleum of Maussollos,was built by Hellenized Carians, Colossus of Rhodes was built by Hellenistic Civilization, and Lighthouse Of Alexandria was built by Hellenistic Civilization.
The pyrimids of giza are the last of the seven wounders standing today. These pyrimids were built mainly for a barial ground or a necropolis if you will,scince the begging of pharaonic Egypt these pyrmids consist of three pyrimids these are called Menkaure Pyramid, Chephern Pyramid, and the Great Pyramid. Light house of Alexandria at the time this was one of the mos tallest man made structers on earth for many centuries, this stucter was destroyed by two earthquakes in the 14th centry AD. Colossus of rhodes was a tall sturcture of the greek god Helois, the reason they did this was because Alexandier died at an early age with no plans for his sucession some fightiing broke out in his generals, the Diadochi, wit three other locations divided up the location of the meddertrainan sea area or region To celebrate the greeks victory, the Rhodians decided to build a giant statue of their patron god Helios. Construction was left to the direction of Chares, a native of Rhodes, who had been involved with large-scale statues before. His teacher, the famed sculptor Lysippus, had constructed a 60-foot-high statue of Zeus. In order to pay for the construction of the Colossus, the Rhodians sold all of the siege equipment that Demetrius left behind in front of their city. The Mausoleum of Maussollos was a tomb built between 353-350 BC at Halicarnassus (present Bodrum, Turkey), for Mausolus a provincial king in the Persian Empire, and Artemisia, his wife and sister. It was designed by the Greek architects Satyrus and Pythius. The Statue of Zeuse at Olympia is one of the classical Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was carved by the famed Classical sculptor Phidias (5th century BC) circa 435 BC in Olympia, Greece. The seated statue occupied the whole width of the aisle of the temple that was built to house it. According to the 1989 World Book, it was 40 feet (12 meters) tall. "It seems that if Zeus were to stand up," the geographer Strabo noted early in the 1st century BC, "he would unroof the temple.The Temple of Artemis, also known as the Temple of Diana, was a Greek temple dedicated to Artemis completed around 550 BC at Ephesus (in present-day Turkey) under the Achaemenid dynasty of the Persian Empire. Nothing remains of the original temple, which was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.The temple was a 120-year project started by Croesus of Lydia. It was described by Antipater of Sidon, who compiled the list of the Seven Wonders.The Hanging Gardens of Babylon (also known as the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis) and the walls of Babylon (present-day Iraq) were considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. They were both supposedly built by Nebuchadnezzar II around 600 BC.
