Seven Wonders of the Ancient World   The historian "Herodotus" (484—ca. 425 BCE), and the scholar Callimachus of "Cyrene" (ca. 305—240 BCE) at the Museum of Alexandria, made early lists of Seven wonders but their writings have not survived, except as references. The seven wonders included: Great Pyramid of Giza <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Kheops-Pyramid.jpg/800px-Kheops-Pyramid.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Hanging Gardens of Babylon <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/Hanging_Gardens_of_Babylon.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Statue of Zeus at Olympia <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/Statue_of_Zeus.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Temple of Artemis at Ephesus <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b2/Ac_artemisephesus.jpg/800px-Ac_artemisephesus.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus <img src="http://www.personal.psu.edu/bmu102/art002/pics/mausoleum.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Colossus of Rhodes <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f7/Rhodes0211.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Lighthouse of Alexandria <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2e/Lighthouse_-_Thiersch.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Wonders of the Medieval World Many lists of wonders of the world are said to have existed during the Middle Ages, although it is unlikely that these lists originated at that time because the word medieval was not even invented until the Enlightenment-era, and the concept of a Middle Age did not become popular until the 16th century.
