The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World are:
1 - Statue of Zeus: The statue of Zeus Olympus was erected in Olympia, Peloponnese in Greece, the great sculptor Phidias. It was all in gold and ivory. It was destroyed.
2 - The Colossus of Rhodes was a large bronze statue erected in the capital of the island of Greece that carried the same name. Destroyed by an earthquake.
3 - Temple of Artemis: was erected in Asia Minor, the famous temple of Artemis (Diana). It took 120 years to build, by contributors from Asia. The great temple burned down.
4 - The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, also in Asia Minor, takes its name from King Mausolus of Caria. After his death, his wife, Artemis, contruí solve it in his honor. The remains of the mausoleum are the British Museum.
5 - Lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt, was the forerunner of modern lighthouses. Originally, the name belonged to a coastal island, Pharos.
6 - The Hanging Gardens of Babylon have long since vanished. Large terraces were built, one above the other. In them were planted gardens of tropical flowers, palm trees and avenues. They were irrigated by water pumps of the Euphrates.
7 - The great pyramids of Egypt are still standing. Were built between 2650 and 2500 BC Excluding parts of the Mausoleum and the Temple of Artemis, they are the only remaining of the seven wonders.
If Christ the Redeemer came in to the new list would be a luxury, huh? Regret for having gone to Rio de Janeiro New Year in 2005 and have not gone to meet him. Now, the next round. Maybe the 2007 NAP

And Then okay???? I think you make an interesting e-mail telling the amazing things is important for us students to do work!
APrabéns for your work!!!
Next,
I think the Statue of Liberty to win the championship, after all it shows a larger truth that many people refuse to see.
She is back to America.
Whereas Bush is a batrachian who insists on taking the liberty of other peoples, the message of the statue is very important.
