The seven wonders of the world are the most unique structures, which are either human-made or natural. Herodotus and Callimachus first came up with the idea of 7 wonders in the ancient world around 2200 years ago. The seven ancient wonders comprised the Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Artemis, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Temple of Artemis, Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, Colossus of Rhodes Memorial, and Lighthouse of Alexandria.
Of these wonders, only the Great Pyramid of Giza is left. The Great Pyramid of Giza has been accorded a special place apart from the seven wonders. It is the largest and oldest pyramid, which was built in 2580-2560 BC. It has been the longest human-made artifact for 3800 years. Later, many researchers and engineers came up with lists, but the whole world did not approve those lists.
