Translate the text “Wonders of the Ancient World”. Although most people know that there are seven wonders of the ancient world, only a few can name them. The original list of the Seven Ancient Wonders was compiled around the II century before Christ. Unfortunately, it was destroyed with the Alexandria Library. As to the final list, it was compiled in the Middle Ages. The list comprises the seven most impressive monuments of the ancient world, some of which survived only to the Middle Ages. Six out of the seven Ancient Wonders do not exist now. Only the Pyramids, including that of Cheops, stood the test of time. For their builders, the Seven Ancient Wonders were a celebration of religion, mythology, art, power and science. For us, they reflect the ability of humans to change the surrounding landscape by building those massive, yet beautiful structures. Of all the Wonders the Alexandria Lighthouse was the only one that had a practical use. And the Temple of Artemis was recognized the most beautiful of all the ancient wonders.
