The Ancient Seven Wonders of the World were listed by the ancient Greeks, but they didn’t know about many other fascinating sites that existed in other parts of the world, or since. This has led modern historians to come up with The Forgotten Wonders of the World:
Abu Simbel Temple in Egypt
Angkor Wat in Cambodia
The Aztec Temple in Tenochtitlan, Mexico
The Banaue Rice Terraces, Philippines
Borobudur Temple in Indonesia
The Colosseum in Rome, Italy
The Great Wall of China
Machu Picchu in Peru
The Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy
The Mayan Temples in Guatemala
The Easter Island Statues
Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy, France
The Throne Hall of Persepolis in Iran
The Parthenon in Athens, Greece
Taj Mahal in Agra, India
The Temple of the Inscriptions in Mexico
Petra, the rock-carved city in Jordan
The Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar
Stonehenge in England
There is no agreement among people around the world as to what the Seven Wonders of the Modern World should be. However, a few of the following would probably be on everyone’s list:
Eiffel Tower in Paris, France
The Empire State Building in New York City
The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, USA
The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco,
The High Dam in Aswan, Egypt
Hoover Dam in Arizona/Nevada, USA
Mount Rushmore Memorial in South Dakota
The Panama Canal
The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The Statue of Liberty in New York City
The Suez Canal in Egypt
The Sydney Opera House in Australia
The Statue of Cristo Redentor in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The CN Tower in Toronto, Canada
The Clock Tower (Big Ben) in London, England
The Channel Tunnel between England and France
The Wonders of the Natural World are mostly agreed upon, although there are more than seven, and every list is a little different. Here are the agreed-upon ones:
Angel Falls in Venezuela
Mount Everest in Nepal
Mount Fuji in Japan
The Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia
The Grand Canyon in Arizona
Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania
Niagara Falls in Ontario and New York
The Great Barrier Reef in Australia
