The Statue of Zeus at Olympia The Pharos of Alexandria (The Lighthouse of Alexandria) The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus I would never have guessed the last 4... the Statue of Zeus rings a bell but the other 3 don't even sound familiar.

...I had to look the rest up...

The Statue of Zeus at Olympia

I would never have guessed the last 4... the Statue of Zeus rings a bell but the other 3 don't even sound familiar.
