Wonders of the World

The first wonder of the world is The Great Pyramid of Giza aka Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt. There have been hundreds of variations but this was a first... The Great Pyramid of Giza was aka the Pyramid of Cheops, which was the Greek form of the name of 4th Dynasty Egyptian King Khufu. It always has been the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and the only wonder surviving in our days. The other six wonders were the Colossus of Rhodes, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the temples of Artemis at Ephesus and of Zeus at Olympus, and the Tomb at Halicarnassus. Identification of the seven as miraculous achievements was based on lists from the writings of Historian Herodotus [484 BC-ca. 425 BC] and Scholar Callimachus of Cyrene [ca. 305-240]. The earliest identifications chose the Ishtar Gate of Babylon, over the Alexandria Lighthouse.

The Seven Wonders are as follows: Colossus of Rhodes

Statue of Zeus at Olympia

Mausoleum at Halicarnassus

Temple of Artemis at Ephesus

The Lighthouse at Alexandria

The Great Pyramids at Giza

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

Taj Mahal, Petra, Machu Picchu, The colloseum, Christ the Redeemer Statue, Chichen Itza, and the Great Wall of China

Niagara Falls is a collection of three waterfalls on the Niagara River as it flows northward from Lake Erie into Lake Ontario. There are actually three separate waterfalls. The smaller two, Bridal Veil Falls and the American Falls, are located in the US, while the iconic Horseshoe Falls is also called the Canadian Falls because it is located in Canada.

It is the largest waterfall by volume.

first thing ,all the wonders of world were built in different times like,the Taj Mahal was made between 15th or 16th century AD,but the Great Pyramid of Giza was built much before in BC times. as there is competition between countries in modern times ,a single main content of 7 countries were declared as the wonders of the world.

Yes the Grand Canyon is a Wonder of the World.

There were seven wonders of the ancient world, one of which is still in existence - the Great Pyramid of Giza. Another would be the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, which is no longer in existence.

In between 600BC and 247BC is when 6 of the 7 wonder of the Ancient world were built.

There are lots of speculations as to why but none of the reasons given can justify why the Sphinx is not considered to be one of them. Which means all the reasons given are wrong or the Sphinx should be considered to be one of them

That's I China so I'd guess the great wall.

Because it is amazing! During the solstice, the stones line up to form an exact Geometrically calculated figure. For people from hundreds of years ago to line up stones so accurately is fascinating. Not to mention that the wheel hadn't been invented, so carrying those huge stones appears next to impossible. Also, we don't know for sure who built it, which in and of itself is amazing.

Only one still exists, the great pyramids of Egypt.
The pyramids at Giza in Egypt.
