Description
As I grew up, I heard about the Wonders of the Ancient World but I never knew what they were. This list was based on guidebooks popular among Hellenic sightseers and only includes works located around the Mediterranean rim. The number seven was chosen because the Greeks believed it represented perfection and plenty, and because it was the number of the five planets known anciently, plus the sun and moon. Many similar lists have been made.I also heard of other wonders of the world and Niagara Falls was named as one of them. There are also architectural wonders such as the CN Tower in Toronto, Ontario. I researched the subject and was amazed and intrigued by what I discovered.There are many wonders that we can only read and surmise about while there are many others we can visit today. Travel with me from the great pyramid of Giza, to the Iguacu Falls of Brazil and Argentina, to Mount Everest, Fuji and Kilimanjaro, to Big Ben in London, England, to the Empire State Building in New York, to the Panama Canal, to the Great Wall of China and the Taj Mahal of India, and on beyond.
