The seven wonders were monuments built or located in western Asia, Europe, and Africa
well.... you would think it would make sense, but NO it would not. If you did something like that it would be like destroying a piece of history. -------------------------------------- Quite correct, for instance of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, only the great pyramid still exists, but we recognize what the original seven were:- # Great Pyramid of Giza, # Hanging Gardens of Babylon, # Statue of Zeus at Olympia, # Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, # Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus, # Colossus of Rhodes # and Lighthouse of Alexandria.
Egypt's only connection to the 7 wonders of the world is the Giza Pyramids. They were built by pharaoh Khufu to show his power and greatness. They are the oldest of the 7 wonders and the only to remain intact. It was built over a period of 14-20 years and is 480.6 ft tall, holding the record of tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3800 years.
Antipater's original list included only structures known to the Greek civilization at that time. There is no historic proof that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon ever existed. The Temple of Artemis and the Statue of Zeus were destroyed by floods. The Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the tomb of Mausolus were destroyed by earthquakes. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only surviving Wonder.
Of the seven ancient wonders of the world, only the Great Pyramid of Giza is still standing. The others were all destroyed. These were the Colossus of Rhodes, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Lighthouse of Alexandria, Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, and the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus.
