2. WHAT ARE
SEVEN
WONDERS OF
THE WORLD
?
The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is the
first known list of the most remarkable creations
of classical antiquity, and was based on guide-
books popular among Hellenic sight-seers and
only includes works located around the
Mediterranean rim. The number seven was
chosen because the Greeks believeIn the 19th
and early 20th centuries, some writers wrote
about lists with names such as Wonders of the
Middle Ages, Seven Wonders of the Middle
Ages, Seven Wonders of the Medieval Mind,
and Architectural Wonders of the Middle Ages.
However it is unlikely that these lists originated
in the Middle Ages because the word medieval
was not invented until the Enlightenment-era,
and the concept of a Middle Age did not
become popular until the 16th century. Brewer's
Dictionary of Phrase and Fable refers to them

above sea level. Incas start building the state around 1400 AD but abandoned
it as an site for the Inca rulers a century later at the time of Spanish conquest
Mystery
Why would these ancient people build a city at such a high and dangerous
altitude. Why there are just few skeletal remains most of women?
7. CHICHEN ITZA
Chichen Itza was a major focal point in the
northern Maya lowlands from the Late
Classic (c.600–900 AD) through the
Terminal Classic (c.800–900) and into the
early portion of the Early Postclassic
period (c.900–1200). The site exhibits a
multitude of architectural styles,
reminiscent of styles seen in central
Mexico and of the Puuc and Chenes styles
of the northern Maya lowlands. The
presence of central Mexican styles was
once thought to have been representative
of direct migration or even conquest from
central Mexico, but most contemporary
interpretations view the presence of these
non-Maya styles more as the result of
cultural diffusion.
8. COLOSSEUM
The Colosseum, or the Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin:
Amphitheatrum Flavium, Italian Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo), is an elliptical
amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in

architecture and Roman engineering. Capable of seating 50,000 spectators,[the

and dramas.
