7 Wonders of the World
We talked about a lot of different beautiful places in the world: local beaches, mountains, volcanoes and others. But no one talked about the 7 Wonders of the World. Let me do the honor to introduce you to the Wonders of the World.
UNESCO chose 7 out of all the numbers because the Greeks believed that this number represented perfection and abundance. The 7 Wonders refer to remarkable constructions made by human and nature.
These are the 7 Wonders since 2017 which was announced in Switzerland:
Great Wall of China
This was built to keep out involving Mongol tribes. It is the world's largest human made structure stretching in 4000 miles.
Petra in Jordan
Petra is the capital of the Nabatocan Kingdom on the age of the Arabian dessert. It is famous for its stone structures. This is a temple that has been carved in a rose colored rock.
Christ the Redeemer in Brazil
This is located in Rio de Janeiro and it is 130 feet tall. The second highest art decor statue in the world. It is a symbol of Christianity.
Machu Picchu in Peru
This ruined city belongs to the Inca Civilization. It settles in a mountain in the Amazon Region of Peru.
Chichen Itza in Mexico
This is the most famous temple Kukulken of the Maya Civilization.
There are 91 steps in each of its four sides. One step for one day of the year.
Colosseum in Italy
This was constructed under Empire Vespasian. It looks like an ancient sports stadium for ancient Gory games involving gladiators, wild animals and prisoners.Taj Mahal in India
This was built by Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz.
It took 15 years to build this spectacular tomb.
I hope there were pictures attached. I was having a hard time attaching some pictures because the internet connection in my place is really slow.
Forgive me!
Have been to colosseum and it is magnificent. Hopefully will visit Machu Picchu one days . Thanks for sharing
