The ancient Greeks compiled a list of what they thought were the Seven Wonders of the World. The list does not include Stonehenge or the Great Wall of China. They did not know about England or China. In fact, they knew very little about countries beyond the area of the Mediterranean Sea. Here is their list of Wonders:
|
The Pharos at Alexandria |
|
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon |
|
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus |
|
The Colossus of Rhodes |
|
The Statue of Zeus at Olympia |
|
The Mausoleum at Harlicarnassus. |

The Great Pyramid of Cheops |
