We have just completed a long series of reference works and now there are only 7 more days left for the end of "The Merry Month of May". As there are 7 days left, we will see about the wonders of the world in different categories.

The lists of the wonders are as per different sources. As there are many sources, I will taking the wonders from the best reliable source. Today we begin with the "Seven Ancient Wonders of the World".

So we begin with the 7 wonders of the ancient world. As per many sources the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is a well known list of remarkable constructions of Classical Antiquity. The list of the 7 wonders is the same in different sources and is as follows:
