    I was gonna say Gulf of Mexico, but ruled it out.

    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.

    nope. The final two are kinda obscure.

    Hint: The two remaining wonders were structures built by amcient Greeks in what is now present day Turkey, one around 550 B.C., the other around 350 B.C.

    I also thought the Temple of Diana was one?

    The Tower of Babel, I believe that was the structure that was built on the instruction of God by representatives of all the peoples of the earth, that stretched all the way to heaven? Hell yeah, that should be on the list.

    X has more or less correctly identified the final two ancient wonders. Damn, that was not as tough as I had hoped.
