In the period of more than 125 years from the beginning of the 19th century, the creation of some of the world’s most remarkable adventures of engineering were identified. These are now popularly known as great wonders of the world explaining so much about human creativity and the determination of the human spirit as they create out of technological effort.

Ancient Seven Wonders:
The beginning for the idea of Seven Wonders of the World occurred earlier during Herodotus (484 BC – 425 BC) and Callimachus (305 BC – 240 BC). According to their analysis, Seven Wonders of the World included the Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus, Colossus of Rhodes and Lighthouse of Alexandria. Among them, only the Great Pyramid of Giza still exists. The other six were ruined by earthquake, fire, or other causes. They were evolved from various ancient Greek lists.
