about the original ones as some are gone now
Only the Great Pyramids are still standing, so it's assumed that it's
things that still exist
Also the fact that they sould be called the "Seven Wonders of the
Ancient World"
Great Pyramids
Collossus of Rhodes
Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Statue of Zeus at Olympia
Temple of Artemis
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
Lighthouse at Alexandria
If we're looking at the "Seven Wonders of the Modern World":
Empire State Building
Itaipu Dam
CN Tower
Panama Canal
Channel Tunnel
North Sea Protection Works
Golden Gate Bridge
Funny what's missing, isn't it?

Subject: Seven Wonders of the World
A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the
present "Seven Wonders of the World."
Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most
votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not
finished her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having
trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't
quite
make up my mind because there were so many."
The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can
help."
The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the 'Seven Wonders of the
World' are:
1. to see
2. to hear
3. to touch
4. to taste
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love."
The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for
granted are truly wondrous! A gentle reminder -- that the most
precious
things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.
