2 The Egyptian pyramids are ancient pyramid-shaped masonry structures located in Egypt. The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the largest Egyptian pyramid. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence. Giza is the location of the Pyramid of Khufu (also known as the "Great Pyramid" and the "Pyramid of Cheops"); the somewhat smaller Pyramid of Khafre (or Kephren); the relatively modest-sized Pyramid of Menkaure (or Mykerinus), along with a number of smaller satellite edifices known as "Queen's pyramids"; and the Great Sphinx. A view of the pyramids at Giza from the plateau to the south of the complex. From right to left are the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure. The three smaller pyramids in the foreground are subsidiary structures associated with Menkaure's pyramid.pyramid-shapedEgyptPyramid of KhufuSeven Wonders of the Ancient WorldGizaPyramid of KhufuPyramid of KhafrePyramid of MenkaureQueen's pyramidsGreat Sphinxpyramids at GizaGreat Pyramid of KhufuPyramid of KhafrePyramid of Menkaure
4 The Hanging Gardens of Semiramis The Hanging Gardens of Semiramis, near present- day Al Hillah, Babil in Iraq, are considered to he one of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. They were built by the Chaldean king Nebuchadnezzar II around 600 BC. He is reported to have constructed the gardens to please his sick wife, Amytis of Media, who longed for the trees and fragrant plants of her homeland Persia. The gardens were destroyed by several earthquakes after the 2nd century BC. Nebuchadnezzar II also used massive slabs of stone, which was unheard of in Babylon, to prevent the water from eroding the ground. Diodorus Siculus described multi-levelled gardens reaching 22 meters (75 feet) high, complete with machinery for circulating water. Large trees grew on the roof. Built by Nebuchadnezzar II for his wife Amytis of Media.SemiramisAl HillahBabilIraqSeven Wonders of the Ancient WorldChaldeanNebuchadnezzar IIAmytisof MediaPersiaDiodorus SiculusNebuchadnezzar IIAmytis of Media

12 The Lighthouse of Alexandria was a tower built in the 3rd century BC on the island of Pharos in Alexandria, Egypt, to serve as that port's landmark, and later, its lighthouse. With a height variously estimated at between 115 and 135 m (380 and 440 ft) it was identified as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World by Antipater of Sidon. It may have been the world's third tallest building after the two Great Pyramids for its entire life. Between 115 and 135 meters ( ft) it was among the tallest structures on Earth for many centuries. The island that it was built on, Pharos, eventually spawned the Latin word for lighthouse, again Pharos.island AlexandriaEgyptlighthouseSeven Wonders of the Ancient WorldAntipater of Sidon
