What are the ORIGINAL 7 Wonders of the World....

Postby Canuck Girl » July 18th, 2005

I've always had a hard time trying to figure this one out. Whenever I look it up on the internet or try too I get all these other ones. I've always thought they included : Great Wall of China, Sphynix, Taj Mahal, Mount Rushmore.... but I'm not sure. I should probably mention that I got that information from the movie Overboard, so yeah! So here is my question: Who can name all 7 wonders of the world and have you been to any of them.

I can't list them off the top of my head, but the only remaining wonder is the great pyramids.

You'd be hard pushed to go to them all as only one exists: The Pyramids at Giza.
I have beem to the site of two others: The Colossus of Rhodes and the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus.

I once endured an endless graduation speech regarding the seven wonders of the Ancient World in broiling heat. The woman went in excruciating detail about each one. It was so bad that my uncle made a complicated hat out of the program. Whenever I hear "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World," I'm reminded of that horrendous experience. Help

Something seems to be wrong wih the links you folks listed. None of the lists of the Seven Wonders include Sofia Vergara's bottom.
