The seven Wonders of the World
- Where the list come from?
- The Seven Wonders were first defined as
“themata” (Greek for 'things to be seen’
which, in today’s common English, we would
phrase as 'must sees’) by Philo of Byzantium
in 225 BCE, in his work 'On The Seven
Wonders’. Other writers on the Seven
Wonders include Herodotus, Callimachus of
Cyrene and Antipater of Sidon. Of the
original seven, only the Great Pyramid exists
today.
