GLOBAL WONDERS

Submitted by ub on

While the entries have varied over the centuries, there are still seven traditional wonders of the world and they are...

The Great Pyramid of Giza, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Using modern-day countries, two of the wonders were located in Greece, two in Turkey, two in Egypt, and one in Iraq.

Of the seven wonders, only the Pyramid of Giza, which is also by far the oldest of the wonders, still remains standing, while the others have been destroyed over the centuries. There is scholarly debate over the exact nature of the Hanging Gardens, and there is doubt as to whether they existed at all.

The Seven Wonders of the World can vary depending on who we ask. They are a group of places around the globe that are considered to be of great importance. These are The Colosseum in Italy, Petra in Jordan, Chichén Itzá in Mexico, Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, Machu Picchu in Peru, the Taj Mahal in India, and The Great Wall of China.

All of these are structures… However, #CityImages suggests considering adding these human traits and personal blessings.
