The Seven Wonders of the World according to Eurocentric historians.

1.Great Pyramid of Giza also known as the Pyramid of Khufu. Is the oldest of the wonders and the only one that exist from this list today.

2. Hanging Garden at Nineve. The huge botanical relief was constructed by the Syrian monarch Sennacherib 705-681 BCE.
for his palace in Nineve.

It's important to note that the "Hanging Gardens of Babylon" are fictitious and are agreed by most historians to be a plagiarisation of the "Hanging Garden at Nineve".

3. Statue of Zeus at Olympia. The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was a giant seated character, about 12.4m tall made by the Greek sculptor Phidias around 435 BCE at the sanctuary of Olympia, Greece, and erected in the temple of Zeus there in Greece.

4. Temple of Artemis. The Greeks dedicated the temple to their goddess Artemis.

5. Mausoleum at Halucarnassus. The Greeks built in the honour of Mausolus who was a ruler of Karya, Anatolia and governor to the Persian Achaemenid Empire.

6. Colossus of Rhodes. The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of a Greek sun-god Hellios, erected in the city of Rhodes, on the Greek island known as Rhodes by Chares Lindos in 290 BCE. According to their descriptions, the Collossus stood approximately 30m high (similar in height with the famous statue in the US); making it the tallest statue of olden days Europe.

7. Lighthouse of Alexandria. This was a huge lighthouse built by the Ptolemaic kingdom, during the reign of Ptolemy(2) Philadelphus 280-247 BCE. Has been estimated to be 100m in height; for many centuries, it was one of the tallest artificial structures of the Western world.
