Awesome Ancient wonders

The Seven Ancient Wonders of the World comprise the greatest feats of ancient technology, architecture, engineering and art as seen by Greek and Roman authors. The list has changed only slightly since it first appeared in a poem by Antipater of Sidon in the Greek Anthology (930 BC).

This first list only had six wonders, excluding The Lighthouse of Alexandria. Philo of Byzantium, in 146 BC, is said to have written the first work including all seven of the Wonders of the Ancient World.

These Seven Wonders are located on the map below.
