Various lists of the Wonders of the World have been compiled from antiquity to the present day, to catalogue the world's most spectacular natural wonders and manmade structures. 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. 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. ==Seven Wonders of the Ancient World== (詳細は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. Their writings have not survived, except as references. The classic seven wonders were: * Great Pyramid of Giza * Hanging Gardens of Babylon * Statue of Zeus at Olympia * Temple of Artemis at Ephesus * Mausoleum at Halicarnassus * Colossus of Rhodes * Lighthouse of Alexandria The only ancient world wonder that still exists is the Great Pyramid of Giza. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wonders of the World」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
