The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were:
- the Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt - the Hanging Gardens of Babylon - the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Greece - the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus - the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus - the Colossus of Rhodes - the Lighthouse at Alexandria, Egypt
The Seven Wonders were first defined as themata (Greek for 'things to be seen’ which, in today’s common English, we would phrase as 'must sees’) by Philo of Byzantium in 225 BCE, in his work On The Seven Wonders. Other writers on the Seven Wonders include Herodotus, Callimachus of Cyrene and Antipater of Sidon. Of the original seven, only the Great Pyramid exists today.
