As for the original listing of wonders is the seven wonders of the ancient world, which is contributed by the greek epigrammatist, antipater of sidon on the 2nd century B.C., who named those seven most remarkable structures of antiquity.

SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD is a listing of notable objects in the world. The practice of listing the seven wonders begun in ancient times, when Greeks and Romans compiled lists of memorable things that travelers should see. There were many lists compiled that included many different wonders. But all the lists of ancient wonders included only man-made objects that were considered notable because of their size or some other unusual quality.

       As the original listing of wonders, The Ancient Wonders are :
                    
                         1. The Pyramids of Egypt
                         2. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
                         3. The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
                         4. The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
                         5. The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus
                         6. The Colossus of Rhodes
                         7. The Lighthouse of Alexandria

Since that time, others such as writers, explorers, and world travelers have compiled lists of the Seven Natural Wonders and the Seven Modern Wornders.

Nowadays, there are many list of the wonders in this world. Instead, from the famous list of Seven Wonders of the World, I am focusing on only five most famous wonders of the world in this web page, as stated below..
