Oh yeah, I remember now. We had a trivia question on that. Panama is to blame for all of England's rain by diverting the Gulf Stream, or something like that. :)Quote:

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon is another?
The Pyramids of Egypt?
Ancient Mayan Ruins?
wait...those last 2 are still standing so are probably wrong.
I would have guessed that, but no the Great Wall of China is not one of the Wonders of the Ancient World, it is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A different and separate list. Go for that list if you want.Quote:

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon is one of them. I'll also accept the Pyramids of Egypt, although technically, it is one specific pyramid that is on the list. No to Mayan Ruins
I`d guess the one that looks like a lion, with a pharoahs head. Can`t remember its name and don`t want to google cheat it. Yea...I kinda realized the Great Wall was wrong after I thought about it. Shooting from the hip here. I have both history and geo this term...so will likely join in more and tnx for the welcome. :)

Anyways, your 5 picks for ancient wonders are all correct. Well Done Killersheep
The story of the Alexandria Lighthouse is particularly interesting. Built around 300 BC, it was the tallest man-made structure in the world for many centuries, at over 115 metres. Eventually it was destroyed by earthquake.
Two more ancient wonders to go.
Tower of babel ?
