It was chosen by the greeks and if you are wondering why the number 7, well it was considered the perfect number.

The Old Seven Wonders of the World are:

1. Great Pyramid of Giza, El Giza, Egypt.
2. Colossus of Rhodes, in Rhodes, on the Greek island of the same name.
3. Hanging Gardens of Babylon, in Babylon, near present-day Hillah, Babil province, in Iraq.
4. Lighthouse of Alexandria, in Alexandria, Egypt.
5. Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, in Halicarnassus, Achaemenid Empire, modern day Turkey.
6. Statue of Zeus at Olympia, in Olympia, Greece.
7. Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, in Ephesus

Unfortunately, only the Pyramids exists nowadays!

In 2001 a Swiss project called the New Seven Wonders of the World called upon the world to fill a new list, and so the new seven wonders of the world list was created.

Last year with my travel in Peru I have collected all 7 of them, and I want to share with you my personal photography of them!
