The wonders of the ancient world were created to attract tourists
from Ancient Greece.
It was a must for people from the Middle Ages to see the Seven
Wonders.
The list which contains the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
was made in Ancient Greece.
Nowadays people can see only one wonder of those seven.
The archeologists are not quite sure that the Hanging Gardens
really existed.
The Mausoleum of Maussollos was about 140 feet high.
The English word mausoleum originated from the first name of a
king.
