7 Wonders Of The World

If someone asked you to name the Seven
Wonders of the World, could you do it?
Well, I managed to come up with 5 before
later finding out that 3 of them were wrong!
So I reckon that you couldn't do it either...
and even if you could, I'm sure you
would get some of them wrong...(please
don't take offence...

I'm not saying you're stupid or anything
otherwise it reflects badly on my 2 from 7)

You think you can do it? Well then...I lay
down the challenge to you now before you
scroll down any further and ask you to
find yourself a pen and some paper and
list what you would consider to be the
Seven Wonders of the World...

...Finished? No, ok then...1 more minute.

...Right - STOP! that's long enough...put
your pen down now please.




Now, the actual Seven Wonders of the World were:

1. The Great Pyramid of Giza

2. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

3. The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus

4. The Statue of Zeus at Olympia

5. The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus

6. The Colossus of Rhodes

7. The Lighthouse of Alexandria

The Seven Wonders of the Medieval Mind
The Seven Natural Wonders of the World
The Seven Underwater Wonders of the World
The Seven Wonders of the Modern World
The Seven Forgotten Natural Wonders of the World
The Seven Forgotten Modern Wonders of the World
The Seven Forgotten Wonders of the Medeival Mind
The Forgotten Wonders

So which one do we use? Well, as a matter of fact,
all of the lists are considered to be Wonders of the
World, but in order to avoid confusion it is widely
agreed that when someone talks about the 'Seven
Wonders of the World' they are referring to the
original 'Seven Wonders of the Ancient World'
that was discovered in 2nd century BC.

But hey...if you were planning to travel and
see the Seven Wonders for yourself...hold
your horses!..don't do it just yet. Not that
I want to spoil your dream holiday or anything,
its actually because N7W (New Seven Wonders)
have launched the first ever global vote this year
to officially select the new 'Seven Wonders'
which they will announce by world telecast
on 1st January 2007. So make sure you don't
miss out, click on the link and get your vote in!
