Seven Wonders of Ancient World

The Seven Wonders of the World (or the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World) is a well known list of seven remarkable constructions of classical antiquity. It was based on guide-books popular among Hellenic (Greek) tourists and only includes works located around the Mediterranean rim. Later lists include those for the Medieval World and the Modern World. The number seven was chosen because the Greeks believed it to be magical

Hey Ahmed :))

A really good one but with a small taste of bitter....it is an insult for Greeks if the temple of Artemis and the Mausoleum of Allikarnasos presented as Turkic....

Really sorry but i have to say that:Turks dont make wonders they just destroy!!!

[ahmed333youssef]

No , I did not mean that the temple of Artemis and the Mausoleum of Allikarnasos built by Turks . I meant that the ruins of these buildings were found in Turkish soil but they were built by the Greeks of course .

The light house of Alexandria was located in Egypt but built by Greeks too

Believe me I am fair

GREECE and EGYPT, the beacons of light. We are related by Alexander and much more before him.

@persianiranforever What about the Median Empire, the Sassanid Empire, the parthian Empire, the Babylonian Empire, the Assyrian Empire and the Mesopotamian Empire? The Persian Empire is just one of the many pre-islamic Empires that controlled the region and they just lasted 200 years, not to forget they where destroyed and conquered by a small Greek/Macedonian army in just a few years. The Persians armies had about a quarter million people in them and still where smashed by the Greeks. Losers!
