The Eighth Wonder of the World is the name often give to impressive structures or natural formations that are wonder enough to rival the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
The list of things that have been called this is very long, but none have any official standing. Several major news corporations, such as CNN, and USA Today, have organized world wide competitions to vote for a revised list of the wonders of the world, but none have been recognized by the general public.
Honestly there are several.
There are 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, 7 Wonders of the Modern World, 7 Wonders of the Medieval World and so on so forth. The 8th wonder of the world doesn't really exist but can be a personal preference.
I have a Wonders of the World list for myself.
The 7 Wonders of the Ancient World is probably the most popular list and they are:
The Great Pyramids of Giza
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
The Temple of Zeus
The Colossus of Rhodes
The Lighthouse at Alexandria
The Temple of Artemis
The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus
There are actually only seven wonders of the world. Sometimes things are called the eighth wonder in order to show how amazing they are and compare them to the seven wonders of the world. A few things that have been called the eighth wonder are Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the Taj Mahal in India, and the moai statues on Easter Island, Chile.
The eight wonder is The Amber Chamber but, is not listed as one for we could not change the number seven.
