Wonders of the World
It may sometimes seem like the top-ten list was invented along with the Internet; in fact, compiling noteworthy lists was first a past-time of the ancient Greeks who enjoyed creating lists to celebrate the beauty and the scientific achievements of their world. And people haven’t stopped making such lists since.
Such marvels as the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon populated the lists of the ancient Greeks, now known to us as two of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Today we continue that tradition of celebrating that which amazes and inspires us – commemorating the man-made and natural wonders that surround us with such lists as the Seven Wonders of the Medieval World and the New Seven Wonders of the World – one of the many modern lists of wonders.
These lists of the greats don’t stop us from admiring other wonders in the world however – wonders that haven’t made the lists but don’t necessarily stop inspiring in us those same feelings of wonder that so captured the imagination of the ancient Greeks.
