How do ancient wonders differ from modern wonders?
“I DONT believe that today’s wonders are similar in kind to the wonders of the Ancient World. They were all buildings and statues. In the last two centuries we have seen amazing technical and scientific achievements. These are surely our modern wonders. Here is my list.” - Ann Halliday
