The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is the first known list of the most remarkable creations of classical antiquity; it was based on guidebooks popular among Hellenic sightseers and only includes works located around the Mediterranean rim and in Mesopotamia. 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.Colossus of Rhodes. Great Pyramid of Giza. Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Lighthouse of Alexandria. Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. Statue of Zeus at Olympia. Temple of Artemis at Ephesus.In 2001, the Swiss corporation took an initiative to select the New7Wonders of the World from a list of 200 existing monuments in countries across the globe. 21 finalists were selected following the first round and the names were announced on January 1, 2006. The final 7 wonders of the world were selected by popular vote, and the results were announced on July 7, 2007. The Egyptians were not happy with the poll as they felt it was a disgrace for the age-old Great Pyramid of Giza to compete with recently built structures like the Sydney Opera House or the Statue of Liberty. Thus, the Great Pyramid Of Giza was assigned an honorary status in the list of the New7Wonders of the World. Here, we present the wonders of the world.

Selecting the 7 wonders of the world is a mammoth task and a very difficult choice indeed. For centuries, human civilizations across the world have built and created cities, buildings, monuments, tombs, temples, churches, mosques, and other structures that continue to inspire the awe of millions of modern-day men and women of the world. The challenge of selecting only 7 of the best wonders from such a massive treasury is thus indeed difficult. Thus, various organizations have made an attempt to record a list of the 7 wonders of the world since antiquity. Here we present the list produced by the Swiss corporation, the New7Wonders Foundation.

The symbol of love, the ivory-white mausoleum of marble, the Taj Mahal, is well known across the world for its historical value, its tale of love, and stunning beauty. It truly deserves to be one of the seven wonders of the world. The Taj Mahal is located in the India's historic city of Agra. It houses the tomb of Mumtaz Mahal, the wife of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. It is said that the Emperor loved his wife dearly and after her death decided to build the Taj Mahal to remind the world of their tale of love. The construction of the Taj Mahal was completed by 1632. The estimated cost of construction of this monument at that time is estimated to be equivalent to US$827 million in 2015. In 1983, the Taj Mahal was inscribed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Today, it attracts 7 to 8 million annual visitors to Agra.Rome in Italy hosts one of the 7 wonders of the world, the Colosseum or the Flavian Amphitheatre, an oval-shaped amphitheater in the center of the city. It is the largest amphitheater in the world and is built of concrete and sand. The Colosseum's construction was initiated in AD 72 by Emperor Vespasian and was finished by AD 80 by his successor Titus. Domitian, another emperor of the Flavian dynasty later made certain modifications to the amphitheater. The Colosseum had the capacity to host about 80,000 spectators. Mock sea battles, animal hunts, famous battle re-enactments, executions, and mythological dramas were some of the public spectacles held at the Colosseum. Today, this wonder of the world is a popular tourist attraction and serves as the iconic symbol of Imperial Rome.
