Dictionary is ideal for both native English speakers and English learners or people studying the English language. While huge in scope and size, time and nature has taken its toll on the massive undertakings and only one of the wonders still stands.Dictionary is a free offline English dictionary containing over 200,000 words and definitions and no ads. The original Greek list is agreed upon more than the others, so we’ll agree with the experts and use the original Seven Wonders of the World.įocused on the world that was known at the time, these wonders are part of an amazing journey across varied cultures and civilizations, and show the sheer will and determination of these ancient societies to honor their gods and create lasting impact on their world.

Because the items on the lists tend to vary, none truly can claim to be 'the' definitive seven wonders of the world. There have been countless lists of the most amazing buildings and structures of man’s creation since the days of Antipater. Antipater, who came from a city that still exists in modern Lebanon, wrote his list around 140 BCE, so we know that the first listicle is at least 2155 years old. We have proof that this is an ancient tradition, as there are numerous references in ancient texts to Greek poet Antipater of Sidon’s Seven Wonders of the World. By the sheer number of lists found online, we know that people love to rank items.
