No Searching! Name "The Seven Wonders of the World"

[Skip Intro]

or as many as you can...

(this is assuming everyone's heard of the seven wonders of the world.)

[Dave Reynolds]

1. Ummm..

The leaning tower of Pisa.......

Afraid that's all I can remember from my 1968 World Book Encylopedia.

2. hanging gardens of babylon, the pyramids, taj majal, angel falls?

grand canyon (and go figure, Copper canyon in MX is far larger and far more majestic), the great wall of china...?

or are we talking about natural or man made?

3. Ancient World ...

Colussus of Rhodes
Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Statue of Zeus at Olympia
Lighthouse at Alexandria
Great Pyramid of Giza
Temple of Artemis at Ephesis


.... hmmm ... can't remember the last one.

That classical education really comes in useful :eyes:

5. The Mausoleum?

<eom>

[Stop_the_War]

4. Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Pyramids, The Temple of Zeus...

the Lighthouse of Alexandria, and that's all I can think of without searching.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

6. Without looking at anyone else's answers, I'll say

the hanging gardens of Babylon
the Colossus at Rhodes
the pyramids of Egypt
the temple of Ephesus
big statue of Zeus somewhere? (gee, that's only five... :-( )
the lighthouse of Alexandria (okay, that's six...)
and my wild guess for the seventh will be the Parthenon, although I'll probably slap my forehead in self-disgust when I find out the real answer.

ON EDIT: Of course! the tomb of King Mausoleus, from which we get the term "mausoleum."

7. Aren't those the 7 wonders of the ancient world? I believe that

Mammoth Cave is on the current list of the 7 natural wonders of the world.

9. my favorite cave !

see my post below and correct if I am wrong about any of them

but I know Mammoth Cave definitely is on the list

[yellowdogintexas]

8. natural world:

Niagra Falls
Grand Canyon
Mammoth Cave
Mount Everest
Yellowstone
Great Barrier Reef
Victoria Falls, Maybe?

[Skip Intro]

10. So many in the US?

I don't know what they are, or what they were and now are, but it seems awful strange to me that the 7 wonders of the world or the natural world etc would be dominated by the US or North America.

Granted, we still have a beautiful country, but 4 of the7 of the world?

[yellowdogintexas]

12. I am not 100% sure those are the correct 7 actually

I know Mammoth Cave
Niagra Falls
Grand Canyon
Great Barrier Reef

are definitely on the list

pretty sure about Everest

did it from memory and logic, no search.

I open my self to correction because then I will know the right answer

[yellowdogintexas]

13. big old crow eaten here. I did a search and there are about

10 links on the natural wonders on the first two pages, and only one even remotely mentions a very large cave in Southern Kentucky.

However, the most frequently occurring list is:

Victoria Falls
Grand Canyon
Mount Everest
Great Barrier
Harbor @ Rio
Northern Lights
Paracutin Volcano (in Mexico)

11. Wonders of the Political World

Sean Hannity's miniscule intellect
O'Reilly's immense ego
Tom Delay's incredible arrogance
Dubya's being totally oblivious to the interests of the common man/woman
Ann Coulter's incessant spewing of hate filled bile
The amazing spineless man (Joe Lieberman)
